In India they appeared at the courts of the native princes, and above all at the court of Mysore.

Mysore was invaded, its capital stormed, and Tippoo slain, before a French soldier could have been despatched to its aid.

In near proximity to it is the residence of the representative of Government at the Court of Mysore.

His father, who was an Englishman, was wrecked some years ago on the west coast, and sent up a prisoner to Mysore.

They have no love for Tippoo or Mysore, but are content to pay their taxes, and to work quietly in their fields.
