Entry  At Bengal, in the 86th years of his age, Cudbert Thornhill, Esq., late master attendant of the port of Calcutta, and one of the oldest European inhabitants of Bengal. He was resident in India some time before the taking of Calcutta by Surajaha Dowlah, in 1756, and was present during the greater part of that unfortunate scene:- with several other Europeans, he sought shelter in the English shipping then at Fulta; and thus fortunately escaped the dreadful catastrophe of the Black Hole. Captain Thornhill had traded to almost every part of India; and a Judda, a port in the Red Sea, he became acquainted with Mr Bruce, the celebrated Abyssinian traveller, by whom he is honourably mentioned in his works. He was nominated master attendant in 1785, and held that appointment till April last.
