TO THE EDITOR OF THE SI.T.N.

SIP.,—In the excitement prevalent in political circles
generally regarding Denmark, it would appear that the case
of the hundreds of unfortunate Indian officers has been lost
sight of for a time by those honourable members who have
been foremost in representing their grievances to the House.
Sir Charles Wood promised faithfully to lay his long coming
warrant and despatch on the table of the House on Monday
week last (20th June), but here is the Ist July and nothing
is heard of it. The object, evidently, of tho India Office
and Horse Guards' clique, is to lengthen out the time us
much as possible, and delay the presentation of this said
warrant (which will only prove to be an evasion, I fear,
after ali), so as to get over the fourth session of Parliament
without giving an opportunity for discusAon, or redressing
chose grievances which ar.-i notorious; and thus it is that
those who have passed their lives in a tropical climate, and
have bled in their country's cause, get rewarded, and their
" rights and privileges" guaranteed by the British Parlia-
ment are broken through and trampled upon by the Right
Hon. Sir Charles Wood, the sutocrat par excellence over au
empire of 100 millions of people. I enclose my card, and
I am, Sir, yours faithfully,

And one of the Greatly Aggrieved.
