January, and when the warm weather broke out dhows

was • very intelligent mesa.
Rev. E. 0. Parker, Chaplain of the Ist Regiment, who
left England in November, and who returned is January,
was next examined. He said that on the first night of the
encampment there was great rain and storm. Some of the
tromps were miserably provided for, many having to lie on

By Mr. Layard—There were eight chaplains at that time
in the Crime*, but one or two divisions were without them.
There won not a chaplain that had not fallen sack. He was
almost at death's door. He had a cart and horse to himself,
and the same allowance of forage as the officers. He
had but one truss of hay and divided it into two. The hos-
pital tents were not well adapted for the purpose, se the
rain went through. The Turkish tents were better Am
the English. They stood the whole storm, but none of the
British did. Came of scurvy, diarrhma, and dysentery were
the general disiewee, but most of them arose from over-work

By Sir J. Pakington—They had a medical store at Bala-
klava, but no opium was given. Before he left the troops
bad suffered the severest weather. There was great dial-
salty in getting fuel, and what was get was chiefly roots. The
snow never remained long on the ground, the weather wee so
changeable. The snow increased the difficulty in finding
roots for feel, which added to the sickness and suffering of
the men. The clothes that arrived before he left consisted
only of great coats for the *entries. The trousers of the
soldiers were patched, and their kits left behind. A few
got them heck. Their Goats were never actually ragged, but
they were much worn out. There were not enough coats
for the troops nightly on duty in the trenches. Each regi-
ment had now got a hut for a hospital, and the tents were
used for other purposes ; but up to January no arrangement
of this sort was made. The strength of the Gaulle remain-
ing fit for duty on his leaving was about 312, out of 700
that arrived, sad there was a deficiency of rations
while he was there.
By Mr. Ellice—Never saw any porter served out to the
troops.
By Lord Seymour—The marquees were Hued, but the
ordinary tents were not. He received the greatest killd-
eers from the Mum The Guards were best off; probably
from the oaken being men of fortune, sparing no ermine.
By Mr. Ball—Disinfecting agents, each as chloride of
lime, were hung up to the poles of the tents, but it had not
much effect, and there was a scarcity of it. Latterly char-
coal was most abundant at Balealave.
