GOVERNMENT ORDERS, &c.

STAFF ALLOWANCES.

Bombay Castle, May 18, 1835.-With reference to the G. O. by the Right Hon. the Governor-general of India in Council, dated 2d December last,* and published at Bombay the 26th of the same month, and in order to assimilate its application with the usage in Bengal, the 'Right Hon. the Governor in Council is pleased to explain :

1st. That it does not deprive a staff officer of a higher rate of any particular allowance granted in consideration of some local or other disadvantage, such as extra house rent allowed to certain officers of the garrison staff, but is intended to abolish an objectionable and partial usage of certain staff officers drawing regimental allowances of a superior grade, putting the stute to a greater expense than would have been incurred had the appointments been filled by officers of higher rank.

* See vol. xvii. Register, p. 122.

2d. It is not to affect the salary fixed for a captain holding the situation of inspecting engineer, or the additional or field batta allowed by the Hon. Court to superintending surgeons.

3d. The regulation is applicable to all acting staff officers at the date of its publication, and affects all incumbents who have been or may be promoted after that date in the departments in which they may be serving.

INSPECTING ENGINEERS.

Bombay Castle, May 19, 1835-The following extract from a letter from the Hon the Court of Directors, dated the 17th Dec. 1834, is published for general information;

Para. 3. "When we authorized the appointment of inspecting engineer to the several divisons of the army, it was our intention, that those offices should be held by the senior officers of engineers next below the chief (or acting chief) engineer.

4. We cannot approve of the practice stated to prevail, of employing the officer next in rank to the chief engineer at the presidency.

5. "We are of opinion that the proper post of that officer is that of inspecting officer of a division.

6. "We therefore direct, that the three senior officers next below the chief engineer be the inspecting engineers of the three divisions of the army."

EQUIPMENT OF HORSE AND FOOT ARTILLERY BATTERIES.

Bombay Castle, May 20, 1835.-The Right Hon. the Governor in Council is pleased to direct, that the material equipment of horse and foot artillery batteries shall in future consist as follows:

Horse Artillery Troops.-Four R. P. six-pounder brass guns, with carriages; two R.P. twelve-pounder brass howitzers, with carriages; eight R. P. ammunition carriages, with limbers; and one storecart, with limber.

Foot Artillery Batteries.-Four R, P. nine-pounder brass guns, with carriages; two R. P. twenty-four-pounder_brass howitzers, with carriages; six R. P. ammunition carriages, with limbers; and one store-cart, with limber.

SERVICES OF V. C. KEMBALL, ESQ.

Bombay Castle, May 30, 1835.—V. C. Kemball, Esq., 1st member of the Medical Board, having produced the prescribed medical certificate, is permitted to retire from the service from the first instant, agreeably with section 57, article 58, of the 2d Suppl. to the Code of Military Regulations.

The Right Hon. the Governor in Council, finding himself called upon to

[merged small][ocr errors]

accord to Mr. Kemball, on his retirement, the public testimony usual in such cases, regrets that he cannot express him self on the occasion, in the manner which would have been most agreeable to his feelings.

It would lead to injurious misapprehen sions, if, at the instant in which the Governor in Council had been obliged to discharge the painful duty of conveying to Mr. Kemball, for his insubordinate conduct in a particular instance, not only a heavy censure from the government of the Bombay presidency, but the severe reprehension of that of India, he were to use, respecting that officer, the language of unmixed praise. Nor indeed does he deem himself at liberty altogether to lose the recollection of Mr. Kemball's recent offence, amidst the commemoration of those advantages of long service, high character, and conspicuous station, which, far from palliating that offence, constituted its chief aggravation.

He be

On the other hand, the motives of the Governor in Council might be entirely misconceived, were he to withhold at such a time the tribute due to Mr. Kemball's great and unquestioned merits. lieves that he echoes the universal sentiment, when he observes, that the professional attainments of Mr. Kemball, and the diligence and ability with which, during a course of thirty years, he has applied those attainments to the practical exercise of his profession, could only be equalled by the uniform kindness of his deportment, and by the unimpeached virtues of his private life. In completing the privation which the loss of such qualifications is about to cause to the community of this presidency, it is consolatory to reflect that so distinguished a career cannot close without exciting other members of the profession to aspire after the same eminence, by pursuing a ⚫ similar course of meritorious exertion.

COURT MARTIAL.

LIEUT.-COL. DICKSON.

At a General Court Martial, holden at Poona, on the 30th March 1835, Lieut. Col. Arthur Hill Dickson, of H.M. 40th Regt., was charged as follows:

(The charges were given in our last number, p. 164.)

Upon which charges the Court came to the following decision:

Finding On the 1st instance of the 1st Charge The Court is of opinion that the prisoner, Lieut.-Col. A.H.Dickson, of H.M. 40th Regt. is guilty of irregular, but not of highly irregular and oppressive conduct, as commanding officer of H. M. 40th Regt.

With regard to the 2d instance of the 1st Charge. The Court is of opinion

that tlie prisoner, did cause two girls,

210 Dickson,

Mary Walsh and Anne Smith, to be punished with a horsewhip in the Orderly-room of H M. 40th Regt., and also to be confined in darkened rooms at his quarters, which conduct they consider to be irregular, but not highly irregular and oppressive, as stated in the charge,

With regard to the 3d instance of the 1st Charge. The Court acquits the pri soner of causing a girl, named Sarah Maitland, to be punished by receiving two dozen strokes with a cane on her hands on the 22d of May 1834, but although it does not consider the punishment inflicted on the 23d or following day to have been one of unusual severity, it deems the conduct of Lieut.-Col Dickson on the whole, as relating to the latter part of this instance of the charge, to have been irregular and oppressive.

On the 4th instance of the 1st Charge. -The Court acquits the prisoner, -Lieut. Col. Dickson, of all culpability in the several stoppages therein enumerated, with the exception of that from Mrs. Walsh of one rupee, which appears to have been made on insufficient grounds, and is therefore irregular.

In the above acquittal, the Court includes the case of Mrs. Hynes and her two children, from whom fifty-four^ru-' pees was stopped and afterwards repaid, no evidence having been brought before it as to the sufficiency or insufficiency of the grounds on which this stoppage

was made.

On the 1st Additional Charge.-The Court is of opinion that the prisoner, Lieut. Col. A. Hill Dickson, is not guilty, and does therefore acquit him.

On the 1st instance of the 2d Additional Charge. The Court is of opinion that the prisoner, Lieut.- Col. A. H. Dickson, is guilty of the same.

On the 2d instance of the 2d Additional Charge.-The Court is of opinion, that the prisoner is guilty of the same.

Sentence. The Court, having found the prisoner guilty, to the extent above specified, of the Charges preferred against him in breach of the Articles of War, in such cases made and provided, does therefore adjudge him, the said LieutCol. Arthur Hill Dickson, to be dismissed his Majesty's service.

Extract from General Order, dated Camp at King William's Town, June 10, 1835-The presence of the Commanderin-chief having become indispensable at Graham's Town, for the due ordering of his Majesty's service, he is compelled, however reluctantly, to separate for a time from the troops in this province, whose conduct, since they have been under his personal command, has given him unqualified satisfaction, and of whom he takes leave with every sentiment of approbation and regard.

It has been his gratifying duty to thank them all so frequently during the short, but active and successful campaign of the last two months, that he can now have little to add to those acknowledgments, beyond the record of his deliberate opinion (as an old soldier who has seen some varied service), that they have admirably

nessed, and which have made him a main cause of the recent successes, as because they know from experience that he is soldier's friend, and will always have a watchful care of all that can contribute to their health, comfort, and convenience.

The Commander-in-chief again thanks Col. Peddie, and the officers and soldiers of the first division.

Major Cox and those of the third, and Capt. Southey, and the Guides, a corps which has, throughout the campaign, reudered very active and valuable services and deserves bigh commendation.
