Sir Richard Temple, K.C.S.I., Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, 1874. 'Our readers have heard of the recent appointment of Sir Richard Temple to the high office of Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, and of the great efforts he is personally making, in his continual journeys through the famine districts, to organise and superintend the local administration of relief. This very energetic and efficient officer of the British Indian Government entered the service in 1846. When the Central Provinces, soon after the [Indian] Mutiny of 1857, were formed into a separate Governmental department, he was appointed Chief Commissioner, resident at Nagpore, having previously been Commissioner for the Lahore district of the Punjaub, under Sir Robert Montgomery. At another period he was Political Resident at the Court of the Nizam of the Deccan, at Hyderabad. He was next appointed Foreign Secretary to the General Government of India, at Culcutta [sic], but in 1868 became the Financial Member of the Governor-General's Council there. Sir Richard is a Knight Commander of the Star of India, and secretary to that order. Lady Temple, his second wife, is a daughter of Mr. Charles Lindsay, of the Bengal Civil Service'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
