He served as chief justice of Calcutta from 1813 to 1822. Before he left England he was knighted by the prince regent. While in India he promoted education, and was a chief supporter of the Hindoo College. On his return to England East was made a baronet. He represented Winchester in parliament, 1823-1831, was sworn of the privy council, and appointed a member of the judicial committee of that body, in order to assist in the disposal of Indian appeals. He was also chosen a bencher of the Inner Temple and a fellow of the Royal Society. He was well-known for his Term Reports (the first law reports published regularly at the end of each term, 1801, 1814, 1817).
