Excerpt from History of Behar Indigo Factories: Reminiscences of Behar; Tirhoot and Its Inhabitants of the Past; History of Behar Light Horse Volunteers In 1782 Mr. Grand was sent to Tirhoot as Collector. Of Revenue, etc., etc., where he built three indigo factories unfortunately he does not give their names. In these fac tories, he writes, he is conducting the manufacture of indigo after the manner of Europeans and he was evidently doing well and making money. In 1787 we find Lord Cornwallis (who arrived in Calcutta in sent for Mr. Grand to Calcutta and according to that gentleman praised him for his work and ability. But to Mr. Grand's surprise on the 29th August 1787, Mr. Bathurst was appointed Collector of Tirhoot and Mr. Grand ordered to go as Judge of Patna in 1788. He was shortly afterwards ordered to give up or dispose of his indigo fac tories in Tirhoot. He remonstrated against this and finally proving contumacious and charges as to his conduct as a Judge at Patna having been laid he was removed from the service.
