When Charles Cornwallis restricted the occupations that Mixed Anglo-Indian descendants could hold in the East India Company, was he originator of those restrictions or was there a general consensus to do so even before he arrived?

I was listening to the Audiobook of The Anarchy by William Dalrymple, and it noted that when Cornwallis took over as the Governor-General in India, that Cornwallis implemented restrictions in the occupations that mixed Anglo-Indians could hold within the company. The book mentioned that this was due to Cornwallis wanting to prevent a leading class in India that could lead a rebellion against the Company, which was a very acute worry of his after his experience in the American Revolutionary war.

Was Cornwallis spearheading this "reform" to limit jobs and everyone went along with it because of the general racism of the time, or was there already a general sentiment at the time that mix children should be barred from most positions within the company?

TIL The name "Hornets" was given to Charlotte because during the Revolution British General Charles Cornwallis complained that Charlotte was "a veritable hornet’s nest of rebellion." The history makes it even more awesome that they're bringing the name back. charlotteobserver.com/201…

In the movie "The Patriot", Col. Martin and General Cornwallis enter some kind of formalized parley. Were negotiations generally this ritualized? If so, are the rules written down somewhere?

(repost)

The dialogue goes something like:

Cornwallis: "As the initiating officer, would you like to begin?"
Martin: "I would, unless you would like to claim aggrieved status?"
Cornwallis: "I would like to claim aggrieved status."
Martin: "Very well, state your grievances."

And so on. Was this a thing? If so, how common was it, and how would officers learn the ropes?

Question for Cornwallis owners out there

Obviously with this sale Im tempted to pick up a pair of the Cornwallis. Its a sharp looking shoe, but my concern is how it looks with creases after you break them in and they no longer look brand new. I have a number of the flagship models (fifth ave, park ave, Mcallister) and I like how the creasing is controlled to the vamp (for the most part) and doesn't travel to the toe. With models like the Cornwallis, Maclennan, or even the Carlyle, it seems the creasing has a greater effect on the aesthetic of the shoe. I tried an image search of worn cornwallis', but only found a couple examples.

I guess Im wondering if you guys have noticed this or not, or if you had buyers remorse because of how the shoes crease/show wear over time compared to say a cap toe.
