Born in London on September 10th, 1806, son of George Stovell. He was educated at St George's Hospital from 1822-1826. He joined the Bombay Army as Assistant Surgeon on October 8th, 1828, was promoted Surgeon on February 20th, 1844, and Superintending Surgeon on June 17th, 1857. He became Principal Inspector-General, Medical Department, Bombay, on April 6th, 1862, retired on April 9th, 1867, and was gazetted CSI on September 16th, 1867. He saw active service in Persia in 1856 and 1857, being mentioned in General Sir James Outram's dispatch of June 17th, 1857, and in General Orders on August 5th, 1857. The Bombay Review of January 15th, 1867, announced the retirement of Stovell on the pension of his rank, £900 a year, and said that he had done good service to the State for thirty-eight years, in particular by his skill and good management as Surgeon to the European General Hospital in Bombay during ten years. Further, his work as Secretary of the Board of Education was highly esteemed, as Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals in the Poona Division during four years, and as Principal Inspector-General for the last five years. On his return to Europe he suffered from epileptic fits, in one of which he fractured an arm, and died during a severe fit in his brother's house in Belsize Park, NW, on May 8th, 1869.
