Burke's Peerage, in a graceful passage written towards the end of his life in recognition of his distinguished military career concluded that 'James Outram, whose active and glorious co-operation in crushing the Indian mutiny won him lasting fame.... went to India as a cadet in 1819, and rose to be lieut. general there, through a series of deeds, civil and military, of infinite good to the public weal. He was, while Resident and Commissioner at Lucknow, sent, in Nov 1856, to command the British forces in Persia, where he was invariably fortunate. He was present at Bushire, gained the battle of Kooshab, 8 Feb. and took part in the victory of Mohammerah, 28 March 1857. From Persia he returned to India, to aid in the suppression of the insurrection, then at the very height of its guilt and cruelty. He marched to relieve (Sir Henry) Havelock, and formed an effective junction with him, when they together stormed Lucknow, and saved the garrison of the Residency. Outram shared also in the heroism of the holding out until Lord Clyde arrived, and in all that fierce and armed struggle - never to be forgotten- which ensued and resulted in final success. Sir James was appointed a Knight Grand Cross of the Military Division of the Order of the Bath, 29 July 1857, for his services in Persia, having previously been nominated a Knight Commander (civil), and was created a Baronet by patent, dated 10 Nov 1858, for his conduct in India.

A George III silver plate from Admiral Lord Nelson's Copenhagen service, by Timothy Renou, London 1801, circular form, gadroon border, engraved with Nelson's armorial, diameter 25.2cm, approx. weight 18oz. Provenance: purchased at the Christie's Bridport sale on 12 July 1895, by John Spink,(1827-1904), and then by direct descent to the present owner. On the 2 April 1801, Lord Nelson was instrumental in another significant victory, this time over the Danish fleet at Copenhagen. The committee of Lloyds gifted a further £500 to augment his growing collection of plate. This was to compliment his Nile silver service, which was commissioned after a gift from Lloyds and made by Paul Storr, to celebrate his victory at the Battle of the Nile on the 1st August 1798. When Nelson received the news of his second gift he immediately instructed one of his captains, Edward Parker, to write to Alexander Dawson asking him contact Rundell and Bridge in order to 'make what you think necessary to add to the rest, to make a complete set, such as plates or whatever you think right'. The order included six dozen gadrooned circular plates and eighteen soup plates. These were supplied by a number of London goldsmiths including Timothy Renou. On Nelson's death his plate was extensively divided, however the bulk of the silver went to his brother, Earl Nelson, thereafter passing to the Bridport Family via the marriage of the earl's first daughter to the then Lord Bridport. At a celebrated auction in 1895, the Bridport family's Nelson relics were put on the open market, and dispersed. Four of the plates were given to Lloyd's in 1936, six were presented to the National Maritime Museum in 1939 by The Revd. Hugh Nelson-Ward. Some are in the Walter and Turner Collection and the Greenwich Hospital Collection, some of which were presented by Spink In 1919 twenty-three plates from the Copenhagen service were presented to the Royal Navy, and these were allocated to various Royal Naval Shore Establishments. One plate can be seen on show in the Nelson gallery in the Royal Naval Museum, situated just opposite HMS Victory, in her dry dock at the Portsmouth Naval base. Reference Prentice, N., The Authentic Nelson, National Maritime Museum, 2005, page 121. The arms are possibly those for Gabbett of Cahirline, co. Limerick or of Berranger of Normandy and Kerpaen of Brittany.
