Ent. ROEBUCK'S
Yestorithyt Admiral Donlon was present during
part of therjeeceedinp, and was cordially received by the
committee.
Sir Thomas Hastings now replied to questions be was
unable, without =bronco to documents, to answer. Boots
and shoes, be said, were quartermaste. -general's stores, and
that department oonld explain, through Major-General
Freeth, the Quattermaster-General, why the boots and shoes '
were not received on their arrival at Varna. Not only

regarded the beds did none go out in the Robert Lowe in-
complete, but they arrived complete at the hospital. Any
incompleteness that arose was caused by the different
patterns. He wished it to be distinctly understood, from
personal communizations he bad with the Admiralty, that
he had ao complaint to make as regarded the supply of
tonnage, and wh delay took place, he believed it was
because steamers were not to be bad. All had distinct
orders from the Minister of War not to embark anything for
the army in the Crimea in sailing vessels, but only in steam
vessels. The affair with Messrs. Kynsaton was not a con-
tract, bet =agreement, but it was as binding as a oestract.
Major-General Freeth applied to the Ordnance, and aide
pravisicia for the stores salted Quartermaster Genstar.

ficiency the blame would rest with the Quartermastar-
Generel for nut having made application for a sufficient
quantity ; and if the Ordnance did not sandy the rettrithe
quantity in time, they, in their turn, =mid he to Maine.

early a period as could be wished for went Insepert,
which was supplied by the Admiralty, and this exonerated
both the Quartermaster-General and the Admiralty.
The Chairmen—Then, according to you, the blame fell
nowhere. (Laughter.)
Sir T. flutings—The supply of horse cloths and nose
bags, for want of which the cavalry suffered much, having
to eat the barley off the ground, was a Quarter-
master-General's question. The consignee of the Quarter-
master-Oeneral's stores would .he the Commissary-
General's care; but if the committee had been
told that the Quartermaster-General and commissariat would
not take then, it still showed that they were both at
Vans, and ought to have done so. The boots and shoes
was a question that rested with the commander- in.chisf.
Toe rises of the boots and shoes were according to the size-
roll of the regiments, but still they were adapted for the
new warm sock. About 130,000 Canada boots, so called
from their being used by the troops in Canada, were sent
out. These boots were made on the long-established speci-
fication patterns that had answered the rupees of the

thousands of these ordinary boots is store at the Tower,
and it would be found that sea of all sizes were
=shied to pat them on sad wear them with the
ordinary worsted stocking with ambit. He believed
that the complaint as to boots being too email
was in the case ot the uthassitios boots, and which
did sot go through the same rimed inquiry as ths ordinary
boots garnished by the Ordnance. -WI& the Ordnance
