Mutiny Service  Was Joint Magistrate of Ghazipore when the Mutiny broke out. This district, always a difficult one to manage, soon felt the effect of events in Azimgarh, and on June 6 broke out in open rebellion. Bax took a very active part in trying to restore order, and visiting refractory villages punished them severely. He accompanied Vincent Eyre in the relief of Arrah. After this it was thought advisable to disarm the 65th Native Infantry at Ghazipore, though it had outwardly remained faithful. Quiet was partially restored, but in 1858 trouble was renewed and Bax again took the field. On one occasion he was in danger of being surrounded, but was relieved by Brigadier Douglas; and on the defeat of Kooer Singh and the dispersal of his followers order was gradually restored.
