The powers, which had been specially entrusted with Lord Cornwallis on his appointment to override his Council was extended to all future Governor General and Governors, by the Charter Act of 1793. . The jurisdiction of the governor-generals over the presidencies of Bombay and Madras was emphasized by the act. By the Charter Act, during the absence of the governor General from the province of Bengal, he was to appoint as vice President from the civilian members of his council to act in his place.
