He was educated at Manchester School.[3] In 1811, he entered the Civil Service of the East India Company's Bengal Presidency. In 1822, Maddock clumsily breached the Great Stupa at Sanchi, although he was not able to reach the center, and he then abandoned.[4]
He was Secretary to the Government of India from 1838 to 1843, and was knighted by patent on 25 April 1844. From 1845 to 1849 he was Deputy Governor of Bengal and President of the Council of India.[1]
