Wazir Ali in Prison, c1799 (c1912)
Wazir Ali in Prison, c1799 (c1912). Wazir Ali Khan (1780-1817), assembled a rebellious army of several thousand men. A quickly assembled force commanded by General Erskine moved into Benares and restored order by 21 January. Ali fled to Butwal, Rajputana and was granted asylum by the Raja of Jaipur. On request of Arthur Wellesley, Earl of Mornington, the raja turned Ali over to the British on the condition that he neither be hanged nor be put in fetters. Ali surrendered to the British authorities in December 1799, and was placed in confinement at Fort William, Calcutta. From The Romance of India, edited by Herbert Strang [Hodder & Stoughton, London, c1912]
