After OW report left A Saturday,
Laut.-Col. Dichosa wee examined on the minute details of
the accounts. I paid Isaacs out of my own pocket to prevent
any boater. The debts of the regiment amounted to about
8001., and then were not sufficient funds to pay the debts of
the regiment. Wine debts are not included. Then wee
between 3001. and 4001. available. The delleissey could not
be made good owing to the sudden disembodiment of the
regiment. I understood from Mr. Wynn that he wee to
show or read to me the charges, but not to let me have
them. He, however, afterwards gave me • copy. I asked
for a regimental board to allow myself, the adjutant, Captain
Brash, and the quatermarter to uire into Captain
DUNA wine accounta. There is 1001. allowed for obtaining
one utensils on the formation of • new regiment, and the
mem subscriptions go towards the necomary expenses
attending keeping it up. The eating and drinking is paid
for extra. There is also the Prince Regent's abw-
ance of 251. a company a year to go towards cheap-
ening the wine to te officers. The mess waiter
had reported a Ices of between 3001. and 4001.
Major Walker, Captain Polley, Captain Cooper, and Captaia
Dixon behaved dingracaully. I charged Captain Cooper,
Captain Judd, and Captain Poley, in the presence of Major
Walker, with conspiring to make false accusals= against
me to Lord Combermere. Colonel North wrote me to get
rid of Captain Polon, but I did not do it. I understood the
regimental inquiry was to investigate the wine &MOUS* and
not on the conduct of their commanding officer. I have
complained of the disgraceful conduct of the Board of In-
giddy, presided over by Colonel Franklin, Lord Arthur Hay,
and Carmel Hart. They adopted therms coons in taking
evidence as was pursued at the Chelsea inquiry. Since
I have quarrelled with Fatl Wilton, I have not been treated
well by any one Colossi North and Captain Poley were
the two chief conspirators against me. Colonel North pulled
the strings behind the curtain. He got his friend Colonel
Walker appointed in my place. He assisted in tramping up
the charges against me. He was in constant communication
with General Peel and Lord Combermere. General Peel
threw all the blame on Colonel North. I first charged Lord
Combermere and General Peel with conspiracy when this
action was brought. I only held the rank of captain in
the army, and wee for sixteen or seveateen
full pay. I applied to the late Lord
hsal on
Harbert to be reinstated, and he refused my
request, as also did Sir G. Lewis. I have not yet applied to
Karl de Grey—perhaps that will come.
Crow-examined by Mr. Lush for Lord Wilton—The mess
was formed in October, and before that the order was given to
MeneraSharpos ; aims of the ordere were given by Lord Wil-
ke sad Colonel North. I did not give Major Walkers regular
account of my receipts and &Agnomen's. I forwarded an
account to the War-office. The examination related princi-
pal, to the items of the account. My pay whilst enitcdied
was 15s. per day, wijh 3e. 6d. command money, end
forage for my horse. If the officers had responded to my
appeal for a subscription, after they received their back pay.
to make up the deficiency, I should have given 201. 1 had
a miss meeting almost every day—that is, I was convening
daily with the officers about it.
Re-examined-id refined to call a mew meeting when
distinctly asked. It is impossible to my what unessieetinp
mean in reference to the charge against me. There are two
kinds of MCP meetings—ordinary and extraordinary—when
anything besides the auditing the accounts has to be trans-
acted. The commanding officer calls the regimental meal
(or extraordinary) meeting, but it has no reference to mess
neroneis ; generally it is the duty of the commanding
allege to see that the mew accounts are properly
audited, and the accounts and balances paid over.
Captain Dixon neglected to bold the meetings. The
paymriter was ill„ and the regiment being dis-
embodied suddenly aimed the confusion. Captain Dixon
mid he would not render an exeunt to me, and Icomplained
of him to Lord Wilton. I ghee saw his lordship on the
affairs of the regiment, and I gave him • rough statement of
the state of things, and what meets there were to meet the
debts of the regiment. General Peel's 11002411•011 abided by
his decision. The 19th July, 1865, Colonel North wrote to
me oosdemning Captain Poley's conduct, sod that Lord
Wilton most report him with a view to his &mina if
further complaints were made against him. Colonel North
wee in command of the regiment then. Lord Co-nbermere
did got my at the fiat interview anything about my rAirn-
big. He and he thought my manuals were • little too
sharp towards the young militia officers, bat I don't think
so. (Laughter.)
The further hearing of the cars was then adjourned till
Monday.
