STEPHEN WILLIAM HODSON, RAIKES, an English soldier; born near Gloucester, March 19, 1821. He joined the Indian army in 1845, and got his first experience in the Sikh War. From 1849 to 1852 Hodson was employed in the work of civil government in the Punjab. In 1856 he was deprived of command on account of irregularities in the regimental accounts and of his unjust treatment of the troops and natives under his authority. In the crisis of the mutiny, however, he was appointed head of the intelligence department in the army engaged before Delhi, and raised a new regiment of irregular cavalry, known as Hodson's Horse. With this body of men Hodson took part in the siege of Delhi. After the fall of Delhi Hodson discovered the Mogul sovereign and his sons; these last he shot dead with his own hand at the time of capture. He was killed in 1858, during the assault on a royal palace in Lucknow.
