Q. Charter Act of 1726 provided for establishment of Corporation at which of these places?
Answer: Bombay and Calcutta
Notes: The Charter of 1726 provided for the establishment of a Corporation at Bombay and Calcutta like the one which already existed in Madras. Thus, each of the Presidency towns was to have a Corporation consisting of a Mayor and nine Aldermen. The Mayor and nine Aldermen of each Corporation formed a Court of Record which was called the 'Mayor's Court'. It was empowered to decide all the civil cases within the Presidency town and the factories subordinate thereto. The Mayor together with two other English Aldermen formed the quorum.
