TILE MILITARY BOARD OF INQUIRY.

[A. part of the following appeared in our impression
of yesterday.]

The Board re assembled at the usual hour.

Mr. Assistant-Commissary General Crookshank asked
the Board to call upon the Adjutant• General or the
Quartermaster-General to produce Lord Raglan's letter,
containing an expression of his lordship's disapprobation
of that conduct for which he (Mr. Crookshank) was
placed under arrest by Lord Lucan.
The Judge-Advocate-General asked Mr. Crookshank
to state in which department he expected the letter
could be found.
Mr. Crookshank said he did not believe such a letter
was in existence. Lord Luca!' had expressed a belief
that it wan, and he (Mr. Crookshank) wished it to be
produced if it were in existence. The correspondence in
connection with hie arrest passed between Lord W.

Panlett and Mr. Filder.
The Court gave no intimation of their intention to
comply with Mr. Crookshank's request.
Sir B. Airey was called on •to resume his statement,
but before doing so asked Colonel Tulloch if the notes of
the evidence of Colonel Wetherall, handed into the
board in accordance with his (Sir R. Airey's) request,
were the original notes of the evidence given by the
gallant colonel before the commander in the Crimea ?
Colonel Tulloch said he believed they were. The evi-
dence war taken by him, and was in his own hand-
writing. Colonel Wetherall's evidence was mixed up
with that of Colonel Gordon's; and when the evidence
was sent to the latter for correction, he re-wrote it,
sending back only the copy.
Sir R. Airey—Where are the original minutes!
Colonel Tulloch—C )lonel Gordon has got them.
Colonel Gordon said he bad never had any other do-
cument in his possession than that now produced.
The Judge-Advocate General—General Airey wants
the original minutes taken by the Commander in the
Crimea.

Colonel Tulloch said be could not see why this appli-
cation was persisted in. Colonel Wetherall and Colons
Gordon could both be called and could state if there was
anything wrong in their evidence. He would make
search for them, but his belief was that there were none
others in existence but those produced.
Gen. Airey—The object I have in asking for the pro-
duction will appear hereafter.
In reply to a question from the Judge•Advocate•Gene-
ral,

Gen. Airey said it was difficult to point out the par-

would be found in the archives of tle. Secretary at War's

sion upon the conduct of himself and Lord Lucan or
any other officer. That prelimintahrey report, he thought,

with 'a view to show how the system s'looked, and the
nature of the mistaken opinions which
prevailed.
(Sir R. Airey) specially appointed Col. Wetherell
He
erall as sub-
distributor of stores, in order to avoid undue appearance of
formality ; and, in order to take additional care,f he gave
instructions that no requisitions should be
out especial reference to him, and the Aersei
tused with-
out
were ordered to go to the st
CommissariatQuer-
Stores every day, in order to make themselves
quainted with what there was available for the ac-
troops ;
and the consequence of this was, that articles
which
he
did not find in the returns of the Commissariat Store-
keeper, the Assistant-Quartermaster found i
stores. He had every reason to believe that then theub.
departments had been administered in accordance
s
with the spirit of the general instructions. He believed
that the chief sufferings of the army arose out
of the difficulty that was experienced in bringing
bales of goods from the sea to a camp pitched seven
vnep
miles off. (Sir R. Airey quoted extensively from the
evidence of several officers in support of his statements.)
and
as great wants were, however, labour and transit,
as the sufferings of the men increased the dificienciesin
those respects were felt in proportion, and in order to
show that be took every means to get rid of official
routine, be mentioned that, by the regulations of the
War-office forms were issued with twenty-four blanks
to be filled up before a man could obtain a great coat,
which forms however were thrown aside and another
issued with Lord Raglan's consent with but one blank in
it to be filled up before signed by him (Sir R. Airey).
Regulations for warm clothing were issued faster than
the men could fetch it. The failure of transport and
the overworking of the men were questions which did
not touch his peculiar responsibility. He emphatically
disclaimed the possibility of any two individuals, whether
civilians or military men, coming to the Crimea
in the middle of March, and be able to arrive at a fair
report or opinion upon what could or could not be
done by the army there, placed as it was in a position of
difficulty--beyond all human conception—and in the
middle of winter. Sir Richard Airey concluCied his
statement with an elaborate panegyric on the conduct
of the late Lord Raglan during the time he commanded
the army in the East.
The Judge-Advocate-General—Do you intend to call
witnesses to-day, General Airey ?
General Airey—Yes.
The Committee adjourned for half an hour;
On the re-assembling of the Board,
Sir Richard Airey, in reply to a question from Sir
W. Rowan relative to the army landing in the
