The East India Company Career of Sir Robert Cowan in Bombay and The The East India Company Career of Sir Robert Cowan in Bombay and the Western Indian Ocean, c. 1719-35 Edward Owen Teggin A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History University of Dublin 2020 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. i Summary This thesis has undertaken the first in-depth study of Sir Robert Cowan, something which has until now been missing from the wider scholarship of the East India Company. The evaluation has focused on Company affairs in the western Indian Ocean throughout the years 1719-35, although discussion has also been given to the wider intra-Asian sphere during 1680-1750 as well. It has been shown, by using Cowan’s Indian career as a case study, how the devolved power structure incorporating Company servants gave great opportunity for defining policy and actions. This was particularly evident in Cowan’s career during his postings at Goa, Surat, Mocha and Bombay. Further, it has been shown how this devolution of power represented the dual aspect of the Company in the early modern period. In England it was seen to act as a commercial trading company, whereas in India it had far greater scope to act as a sovereign power. Cowan, as a Company representative, played a key role in this system during his negotiation of the Anglo-Portuguese treaty of 1721, managing Surat broking relationships, the withdrawal of the Mocha factory in 1727, and his redefining of Company security policy in the western presidency during the years 1728-35. The same devolution of power to Company servants in official matters has also been shown to have benefitted them in personal affairs. Private trade in particular was an area in which it has been demonstrated that Cowan excelled. This study has highlighted that Cowan’s motivation for travelling to India was to make a great personal fortune for himself, and also to pay back his large debts. It has likewise been shown that he ii succeeded in gaining this fortune through private trade, diamond and cash remittance, and the utilisation of a series of account transactions. The bulk of this then became the basis of the marquesses of Londonderry’s wealth. In the discussion of Cowan’s private trade, it was shown how this created tension between himself and his employers, particularly over his handling of the Portuguese ship Europa at Bombay. However, this was not the only aspect of Company politics which Cowan encountered. The collapse of his patronage network as a result of the Waters and Lambton affair caused Cowan great political damage, and displayed the fundamental importance of political connections through private networks within the Company. Whilst the disintegration of his network signalled the end of his career, the construction of it had enabled his progression across the years. Through Cowan’s use of patronage networks, it has been shown how multifaceted and vital such connections were within the Company apparatus. In terms of Cowan’s legacy, it important to highlight that he is a figure that has not been widely studied within Company scholarship at large. This thesis has demonstrated how the study of Cowan, through his personal archive held at PRONI, can be used as a tool for further evaluation of eighteenth-century Company activity in the western Indian Ocean. This thesis has acknowledged the many fascinating opportunities for further study arising out of the Cowan archive, and it is hoped that this will lead to further studies of Cowan, the western Indian Ocean, and indeed the wider intra-Asian sphere in the early eighteenth century. iii Contents Declaration .......................................................................................................................... i Summary ............................................................................................................................ ii Acknowledgements........................................................................................................... vii Note on Conventions used .................................................................................................. x List of Figures / Tables ........................................................................................................ xi List of Appendices ............................................................................................................. xii Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 1 Chapter One: Robert Cowan .............................................................................................. 24 I - John Cowan, (?

Ltd., ....~ 7 Uld Publlabed .., the Local s-.r,., All Jndla OrieDtal Confennce, Town Hall, Bombay 1. PRICE IUIPBES '!:. PREFACE The rise and growth of Bombay present interesting problems to a student of history. While the city has been built in comparatively modern times the formation of the island and its rock temples arouse the interest of the geologist and the antiquarian. The history of the island upto 1500 A.D. is not very eventful; this tropical island and its native population slumbered in peaceful repose till the first European set foot on its soil and set in train forces which transformed it into one of the largest cities in the East and made it the beehive of commerce and industry. How this transformation was wrought, what factors contributed to it, has been narrated in the pages that follow. The object of the book as the title explains is to narrate the story of the island city in simple outline. The main sources of information are Edwardes' Rise of Bombay and the statistical Account of the town and island of Bombay based on old Government records and prepared for the Bombay Gazetteer. Other sources have also been consulted. The account of research institutes in the city will, it is hoped, interest Orientalists and Historians.
