Full text  Lately [July], same place [Madras], G Baker, Esq, aged 77 years. In the active season of life, he was variously employed by the East India Company, always to the benefit of the public and his own honour. The accuracy of his survey to the Eastward has been confirmed by subsequent navigators; he was the first European Master Attendant at Madras, an office he filled to the entire satisfaction of government and the trading part of the community. By his indefatigable perseverance the settlement of Madras was relieved from the distress it had experienced, in the want of wholesome water: he discovered the purest and best springs, and amply supplied the Black Town and the Fort through pipes, which led also to the sea beach for the use of the shipping. In consequence of this great public benefit, the East India Company granted him an annuity of 500L sterling.
