Francis Sir Philip


Francis, Sir Philip Named by the Regulating Act as one of the four
members of the Governor General’s Council, he ganged up with Monson and
Clavering in opposing Warren Hastings in his whole policy and method of
government. Ultimately he fought a gun battle with Hastings (1780), was
disabled and went back to England where he took a prominent part in
organising and conducting the impeachment of Hastings.
