Mutiny Service  Senior Member of the Board of Revenue at Agra. Took part in the patrolling of the city. When the Lieutenant Governor's health broke down, so as to incapacitate him for work, Reade was one of a Council of three, with Major Macleod and Brigadier Polwhele, to administer affairs. He was most active in directing measures for the defence of the fort, and was mainly instrumental in saving the Revenue records from the general destruction of Government property. On the death of Mr. Colvin, Reade became the senior Civil Officer and, in conjunction with Major Fraser, carried on the administration, displaying the utmost coolness and judgment throughout a period of extreme difficulty and danger.
