THE MILITARY BOARD OF INQUIRY.
(This Day.)

The Board reassembled at the usual hour.
Lord Lunn, at the commencement of the proceedings,
explained a statement made by him on Tuesday last with
reference to Lord Raglan's orders, that he (Lord Lucan)
was not to interfere with the Light Brigade, or exercise
authority over it. He meant by that that he was not to
interfere with the duties of the Light Brigade. They
were not to assist him in military operations. But he was
not deprived of exercising any divisional superintendence
over it. His lordship also sail that in consequence of what
occurred en Tuesday. he felt it necessary to refer to a letter
written by him on 30th Sept., 1854, explaining his reasons
for putting Mr. Deputy Commissary Cruickshank under
arrest. He did so on account of his disobedience to orders,
and for making a verbal report to him (Lord Lucan) which
was not founds ,in fact. Mr. Cruickshank was very neg-
ligent in provisioning the 4th Light Dragoons, and dis-
obeyed the order given to him. He remained under arrest
for nearly a week, and was released after Lord Raglan had
expressed disapprobation of his(Mr. Cruickshank's) conduct.
Mr. Cruickshank was called and examined by the Judge-
A.drocate-General—He said that if he had bad means of
transport he could have supplied the horses at Inkertnan
with barley after the 16th of November. He did every
thing he could to provide forage with the limited transport
at his disposal. He then read a report he made to the
Commander-in• Chief relative to his arrest, wherein he de-
nied that he was guilty of disobedience of orders. and
asserted that the report lie made to Lord Lucan
was founded in fact. Lord Lucan accused him
publicly before other officers of having told a lie, and said
that if he repeated the lie there should be a court-martial
upon him. After he had boon under arrest about a week,
Lord William Paulett came to him froiii Lord Raglan
and released him' saying he "had orders to release him."
Witness objected to his being released in that quiet man-
ner, considering he had a right to a public recognition of
his innocence. To that Lord William Paulett gave
no answer ; and, in consequence of the critical state
of things, he resumed his duties without first having
his character cleared by a court-martial. To-day was the
first time he had ever heard that Lord Raglan had ex-
pressed dissatisfaction of his (Mr. Cruickshank's) con-
duct. He thought Lord Lucan must be under a misappre-
hension with respect to it.
Lord Lucan—The letter containing it would be found
in the Quartermaster-General's office. He supposed Lord
W. Paulett had read it to Mr. Cruickshank at the time of
his release.
Mr. Cruickshank said that if such a letter existed it bad
been most unjustifiably withheld fi mu him. He bogged
to state, although Lord Lucan was a General of Division,
that he had no right to tell him (Mr. Cruickshank), an
officer in her Majesty's service and a gentleman, that he
had told a lie. (This statement, which was received with
loud applause, was speedily suppressed, Sir A. Woodford
observing that if there were any more such manifestations
of feeling he should clear the court.)
Colonel Douglas was recalled, and, in answer to questions
from the Judge-Advocate-General, said that it was not
till after the 14th November that the supplies for the horses
fell short, and he then applied for permission to send horses
to Balaklava tip fetch up forage, but he was told by Col.
Mayhew he could not do it, in consequence of 100 horses
being then unfit for duty.
Colonel Lowe was also recalled, and stated that after
the 14th of November a proposition was made to him by
Mr. Cruickshank to send down 25 horses for supplies to
Balaklava. if permission could be obtained from the bri-
gadier. He (Col. Lowe) was prepared to accede to the
proposition, as the horses wore then equal to the exertions.
The Earl of Cardigan then rose and said—Before my
case is closed I beg to remind the commissioners that the
commissariat transport animals were not said to have
failed before the 14th of November; that I have shown
that I was not asked to send the troop horses for forage
till about the 16th of the month, that at that time the
horses were receiving a full allowance of barley, which is
proved by the Brigade Major's returns in your possession
to have been the case up to the 23d of the month. It is
proved by the evidence of the commissariat officer which
has been laid before you, that there was no hay in
Balaklava for some time after the 14th of November,
therefore, it would have been useless to send down
for it, even if more cogent objections to such a measure
had not existed. Mr. Cruickshank stated positively that
he applied more than once to the Lieut.-General com-
manding the Division for the troop horses to be sent
down for forage, which was refused, and I think the Court
will admit that if Mr. Cruickshank's letter of the 18th
Nov. was not a written request for troop horses to be em-
ployed, it was, at any rate, a pretty strong appeal on the
subject. I have stated, in reply to a question from the
Judge-Advocate-General, that I had no power to send
down the troop horses without the sanction of supe-
rior authority, which opinion of mine was fully
confirmed on Tuesday last by that of the Quartermaster-
General of the army, viz.,,that "certainly he (Lord Car-
digan) could not have detached_ any portion of his force
without the sanction of the Commander-in-Chief." I with
confidence leave my case in the hands of this honourable
court.

The case of General Airey, Quartermaster-General, was
then entered on. Sir Richard presented himself at the
table and read a voluminous statement to the Court, com-
mencing with the date of his appointment as Quarter-
master-General lot of Sept., 1854, until he was ordered
home on duty on the 17th of November, 1855, and his
opinion that the Commissioners' inquiry in the Crimea
was to have been confined to the deficiency of the commis-
sariat supplies, and divided itself into three heads :-Ist.
An inquiry into certain deficiencies in the supplies. 2d.
The cause of those deficiencies, if any ; and 3d., the course
that should be adopted to prevent such deficiencies arising
in future. The instructions to the Commissioners did not
contain one word which pointed out to the Commissioners
that their inquiry should form the basis of animadversion
on any military officer, and he proceeded to argue that the
Commissioners were not the proper persons to examine
into military affairs and the conduct of military officers.
Colonel Tulloch said that Sir R. Aire), might have saved
himself the trouble of making those remarks. He had
already said that the Commissioners had no instructions
to inquire iato the conduct of military men, but into the
supplies entrusted to them.

Sir R. Airey said that he was personally acquainted
with Sir J. M'Neil, but he had not the slightest idea that
when the Commissioners were in the Crimea, he (Sir R.
Airey) was on his trial, and that gentleman was one of his
judges. Ho was of opinion at the time, and he continued
of that opinion now, that the Commissioners, when in the
Crimea, had no idea of blaming his department, and he
had no idea till the London report was presented, that
their inquiries had tended is that direction. He had
never been personally examined, as ho ought to have
been, if the Commissioners intended to have blamed
his department. The Commissioners had unfortunately
undertaken the important duty of suggesting improve-
ments, and in pointing out what they considered defects
they had used words likely to throw blame on those con-

necied with the departments requiring reform. A series
of written questions had been put to him by the Commis-
sioners, nearly all of them having reference to the Adju-
tant-General's and Commissariat departments. Referring
to Lord Panmure's determination to remove the

Quartermaster-General in the event of its being
ascertained that he was unequal to his duties, lie
thought his lordship bail acted with the greatest pro-
priety. The Minister of War acted with the greatest
promptitude, and received a most satisfactory report from
General Sir James Simpson, and it was not likely that the
Minister, after such a report, would have entrusted to the
commissioners the duty of inquiring into his conduct, and
report thereon. When General Simpson succeeded to the
command of the army, on Lord Raglan's death, he retained
his (Sir R. Airey's) services as Quartermaster-General, as
did General Codrington on his succeeding General Simp-
son, until the 17ch November, 1855, when he (Sir R.
Airey) was ordered home on duty. lie quite concurred i❑
the opinion of the Crimean Commissioners, that the suffer-
ings of the army there were attributable to overwork and
want of transport.
