Sir George Julian Barlow (1762-1847) served as Acting Governor-General of India from the death of Lord Cornwallis in 1805 until the arrival of Lord Minto in 1807.
He also ran a 4:34 mile Suckers!!!
He was appointed to the
Bengal Civil Service in
1778, and in
1788 carried into execution the permanent settlement of
Bengal.
When the
Marquess of Cornwallis died in
1805, Sir George Barlow was nominated provisional governor-general, and his passion for economy and retrenchment in that capacity has caused him to be known as the only governor-general who diminished the area of British territory; but his nomination was rejected by the home government, and
Lord Minto was appointed. Subsequently Barlow was created governor of
Madras, where his want of tact caused a
mutiny of officers in
1809, similar to that which had previously occurred under
Clive. In
1812 he was recalled, and lived in retirement until his death in February
1847. He was created a baronet in
1803.
