' General Taylor proceeded in iBn to join the 22nd Dragoons in the East Indies, where he served until their
return to Europe and disbandment, ,25th Oct. 1820. He was in the field in 1815 and 16, and during the whole of
the Mahratta war in 1817-19; the published official records show that his conduct was conspicuous in the Brigade
Cavalry actions of Bucktowlie and of Nagnore, and in that of Ashta {20th Feb. 1818), the enemy having charged,
overthrew one Regiment and cut down the General commanding, he, as Brigade Major, incurred the responsibility
of countermanding the retreat, of ordering measures which terminated in the entire defeat of the Peishwar, the
death of his Commander in Chief (Gokla), and he rescued the Rajah of Satarrah, the influential events that termi¬
nated the war. At the siege of Capaul-droog, he commanded a Battery at the storm (13th May 1819), he blew open
the first gate with a galloper gun of the 22nd Dragoons, and heading the Forlorn Hope, he stormed in succession
the five distinct circles of fortifications, every man and officer of his party being either killed or wounded, he received
at the summit of that strong hill fort, at the moment of success in its capture, a shot through his lungs and body that
killed the Grenadier behind him. The Governor General of India specially recommended him to favourable con¬
sideration for his services in India. In 1823-24 he was employed in the Cape Cavalry against the Caffres, and was
recommended for promotion by the Governor and Commander in Chief. In .Jan. 1841 he was relieved from a bullet
which had been in his body since 1819. In Aug. 1846 his life was imperilled from a surgical operation consequent
upon the passage of some cloth driven into him by a shot. In Nov. 1848 he was relieved from a piece of bone broken
in his body by a shot. From April 1854 to Dec. 1S57 he was a Colonel on the Staff at the Cape of Good Hope, where as
a Brigadier at a "period of pecuhar difficulty and imminently threatened war" he commanded a large force in
Kaftraria with approbation and thanks publiclj'recorded. From April i860 to April 1861 he was Commander of
the Forces and Lieut. Governor of Jamaica and its Dependencies. In 1827 he was sent to EngL^nd from Malta to
establish discipline in a corps that had fired at and nearly killed their Adjutant, their insubordination sustained
by a turbulent mob nt a. period of popular excitement. Ho took command and the Battalion shot him three times on
the public parade, they fired into his windows and shot through the cheek a field aide who stood behind him.
Without calling in other Troops he suppressed the mutiny, and alone he overawed the fury of the mob. The appro¬
bation of his Major General was submitted bj' his Lieut. General to the Horse Guards, and elicited through the Adjutant
General the Sovereign's record that " the decided and necessary punishment to which he had resorted had effectually
repressed the spirit that prevailed when he assumed the command."
