please mark it as brainest .Your asnswer is here.With the defeat of Lally in Madras the French power in India
came to an end in 1760. Moreover, as a result of the first defeat
of Tipu Sultan by the British in 1792, Malabar and Coorg were
c~ded to the British, who already held Canara. Tipu's final defeat
and death at the capture of Sreerangapatnam in 1799 put an end
to the struggle for supremacy in Madras, and the civil adminis-
tration of Presidency by the British thereafter proceeded on com-
paratively peaceful lines. The growing demand for teak timber
was one of the matters which received early attention. An order
was issued by the Bengal-Bombay Joint Commission to enquire
into the availability of teak in the forests of Malabar. Regulations
followed, prohibiting the felling of teak trees below 21 inches in
girth. Nothing further happened until 1805, when a despatch
was received from the Court of Directors, enquiring to what
extent the king's navy might, in view of the growing deficiency
of oak in England, depend on a permanent supply of teak timber
from Malabar. This enquiry resulted in the immediate appoint-
ment of a forest committee, charged with a comprehensive pro-
gramme of enquiry regarding not merely the forests but the status
of the proprietary rights in them.
