Wikipedia description:
Jean Law de Lauriston (5 October 1719 – 16 July 1797) was a French military officer and colonial administrator. He served twice as Governor General of Pondicherry. Not much is known about his life, but his contributions to the French Colonial Empire are notable. Law was a nephew of the financier John Law, who had founded the Banque Générale and in 1719 had helped re-finance the French Indies companies. He was a contemporary of Alivardi Khan who says about him that, "He saw with equal indignation and surprise the progress of the French and the English on the Coromandel Coast as well as in the Deccan." Law’s son was general and diplomat Jacques Lauriston.
