		In 1839, Darjeeling got its first Superintendent; the ubiquitous and indefatigable Dr. Campbell was transferred from Nepal for the job, soon he was in-charge of political relations with Sikkim besides, running the civil, criminal and fiscal administration, when he found time, he also acted as Postmaster, Marriage Registrar and Administrator of the station funds.
		The Raja, now old and feeble, was in the hands of a power-mad Prime Minister known as the "Pagla Dewan", who had robbed the coffers of the estate and was opposed to all reform; the trade was monopolized in his person which daily grew insolent, insulting and aggressive to all British officialdom.
