TURKISH CONTINGENT FIELD TRAIN. I 20

Last evening a meeting of the noncommissioned offi-
cers of this carps was held at the Rase and Crown,
Crown-street, Westminster, for the purp3se of receiving
a communication relative to the progress of their claims
against the Government.

Mr. E. W. HYDE, a serjeant-major in the force, pre-
sided, and introduced the proceedings by observing that
he was glad to see them all once more, to contend for
their claim*, as the taxpayers of the country had supplied
the funds to carry on active operations until April next.
His (the chaircean') complaint against Commissary Bake
was, that he was only forty-eight hours in the Crimea
when he struck Serjeant Blanch on the head, and that
he was guilty of other acts which he (the chairman)
considered to be discreditable. He then read the fol-
lowing memorial to his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge, which, it was resolved, at a meeting held on
Monday last, should be prepared and presented to the
Commander-in-Chief :
"MAY IT PLEASE YOUR ROYAL ITIOnNESS,
" We, the serjeant-conductors of the field train of the
Turkish Contingent stationed at Kertch in the Crimea,
under the command of G. Bake, Commissary-in-Chief,
earnestly and most respectfully request your Royal High-
ness's attention to the following statement : —Having waited
patiently for nearly three months for the repayment of our
income tax, and there being no sign of Mr. Bake's books
arriving, we most earnestly request your Royal Highness
the favour of issuing an order for our being paid the above,
on each man producing his small regimental book, which
shows the amount of money deducted, as well as the
money we have received ; as many of us have not been able
to obtain a situation since our discharge we are in a state
of utter destitution ; and this after many of us having
given up past situations and leaving our homes and fami-
lies to go into the service of our country ; that at the time
of the formation of the field train corps, and of our engage-
ment in the months of October and November, 1855, each
and every one of us were distinctly promised that the
amount of pay would be ss. GI. a day while in England, and
upon embarking for our destination each man's pay wont
be 2s. more ; but from the time of our embarkation for the
Crimea until our return to England, we have never re-
ceived the amount of such extra pay as promised and gua-
ranteed to us. We have been given to understand and
believe that the officers have received their field amount
of pay. We humbly solicit the favour of your Royal High-
ness considering whether we are not equally entitled, and
at the same rate as the non-commissioned officers of corps ;
that as other corps are about to receive three months' gra-
tuity, and that others have received beyond that amount,
viz., the civil artificers, who had not the arduous duties
to perform that we had, we humbly hope your Royal
Highness will consider us entitled to the same; that money
to a large amount from some has been, as we consider, ille-
gally stopped by Commissary Bake, without court-martial,
and in many instances without an investigation, we pray
your Royal Highness will institute a strict investigation 1
into the conduct of Commissary Bake, and his general 1
treatment of the men under his command."

The memorial concluded by enumerating several
eharges against Commissary Bake, and by praying his
Highne•ls to direct the payment to them of such
suit's 03 he considered them entitled to,

This being the only matter before the meeting, the
proceedings terminated by a vote of thanks to the chair-
man.
