Mr. Baker was at 

 first " Agent " for 

 the Settlement of 

 Madras, which

 alty put into con- 

 finement by Sir 

 E. Winter, who 

 resumed office 

 and retained it 

 till the 22nd 

 August 1668,when 

 Mr. Foxcroft was 

 released and re- 

 instated [by the 

 Commission sent 

 from England. 



By the Company's 

 Commission, 

 dated 14th Novem- 

 ber 1681, received 

 17th July 1682, 

 the Bengal Agen- 

 cy was made a 

 Government 

 " without any 

 subordination to 

 Fort St. George." 



Mr. Yale also acted 

 during Mr. Gyf- 

 ford's absence in 

 Bengal from 8th 

 August 1684 to 

 26th January 

 1685. 



Died at Madras on 

 the 17th October
