I Net Increase 639 On the 17th of May I received fr.Y.n Lord Panmure copies of letters from Generals Vivian and Smith, dated the sth of March and the sth of April, containing, as a quotation, charges of the gravest nature against me. On the 18th of May I replied that the charges were false and malicious, and I demanded full and public investigation of them. The reply, dated the 26th of May, told me that the subject had been again referred to Major-General Smith. On the 20th of May I asked for the name of my accuser; the reply, dated the 20th of May, told me that Lord Pan mure did not know the source from which Lieutenant- General Vivian derived his information. On the lth of June I again demanded that public justice should be done between Lieutenant• General Vivian and me. On the 14th of June I received a reply that Lord Panmure must defer giving au opinion till he received a reply to the further reference made to General Smith. Before 1 got this letter I had, on the 14th, writtwn to complain of the delay, and asked an interview. To this I got a reply the same day, saying that he had sent my letter of the 4th of June to Generals Vivian and Smith, and would answer rue offi cially when he heard from them. On the 14111 and 23rd of June I protested against secret proceedings, and again demanded public investigation. On the 28th a reply was sent to me that Lord Panmure was taking such steps as he thought best, and here the matter rests, and probably would have rested till Lord Panmure thought proper to reply, hail not the paragraph in :he Indian News forced me to come publicly forward to declare my readiness to refute the base calumnies referred to in the paragraph in question.
