Entry  Appointed Resident of Lucknow, by direct order of the Court of Directors, on Nathaniel Middleton's recall in 1774, after the Rohilla war, by a majority in Council against Warren Hastings : Bristow was not friendly with Hastings : was a constant attendant of P. Francis' levees : he was superseded at Lucknow in 1781, by Hastings' order, replaced by Middleton, but re-established in 1782, when Middleton was recalled : Bristow assumed the powers of Government at Lucknow, aiming at the annihilation of the Nawab's authority, on which the Nawab complained against Bristow's administration: Bristow's defence was discussed by the parties in the Supreme Council : he was recalled by a decision of Dec. 31, 1783, Hastings being authorized to have separate charge of the E.I. Co's concerns in Oudh, for which he repaired to Lucknow in March-Aug. 1784.
