	John Laird Mair Lawrence, 1st baron Lawrence - LoveToKnow 1911
		JOHN LAIRD MAIR LAWRENCE LAWRENCE, 1ST Baron (1811-1879), viceroy and governor-general of India, was born at Richmond, Yorkshire, on the 24th of March 1811.
		The first twenty years, from 1829 to 1849, during which John Lawrence acted as the magistrate and land revenue collector of the most turbulent and backward portion of the Indian empire as it then was, formed the period of the reforms of Lord William Bentinck.
		The crowning victory of Sobraon was the result, and at thirtyfive Lawrence became commissioner of the Jullundur Doab, the fertile belt of hill and dale stretching from the Sutlej north to the Indus.

	John Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Laird Mair Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence, GCB, GCSI, PC (4 March 1811–27 June 1879) was a British statesman who served as Viceroy of India from 1864 to 1869.
		The statue, by Sir Joseph Boehme, once showed Lawrence with a pen in one hand and a sword in the other to illustrate his versatility as an administrator and a soldier but vandals have since damaged the sword.
		In that role, Lawrence was partly responsible for preventing the spread of the Mutiny to Punjab in 1857, and negotiated a treaty with the Afghan ruler Dost Mohammed Khan, and later led the troops which recaptured Delhi from the rebellious sepoys.
