Sub-title  Biographical sketch: James Cox    
Page nos.  253-254    
Description  Cox “was a first rate indigo planter, but was lured into taking charge of Tewarrah as a sugar concern in 1847. The concern consisted of two factories—Tewarrah, or Burrerie as it called by the natives, and Munkey, an outwork. Munkoulie, another outwork, was kept for indigo. As was the case with every other sugar factory in Behar at the time, the sugar concern at Tewarrah soon came to a standstill. Tewarrah was involved in debt with the Oriental Bank, which sent up Jack Tyndal to pay up debts. As Cox had very little to do, and Tyndal was a capital fellow and a gentleman in every way, they had a jolly time of it together, up to all kinds of larks, for Paddy was a regular Irishman.”    
Indexer Notes  (1) An outwork was an outlying indigo factory, a subsidiary of a head factory or “concern”. (2) See also index entries for “Cox, James”, and “Cox, Mr.”
