The Board reassembled at the usual hour.
Lord Lucius, at the commencement of the proceedings.
explained a statement made by him on Tuesday lust with
reference to Lord Raglan's orders, that he (Lord Luna))
was not to interfere with the Light Brigade, or exercise
authority over it. He means 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 ho was
not deprived of exercising any divisional superintendenoe
over it. His lordship also said that in consequence of what
occurred en Tuesday, he felt it necessary to refer to a letter
written by him on 30th Sept., 1851, 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)
was not founde •in fact. Mr. Cruickshank was very wv-
ligent in provisioning the 4th Light Dragoons, and dis-
obeyed the order given to him. He remained under arrekl
for nearly a week, and was released after Lord Raglan hae
expressed disapprobation of his(Mr. Cruickshank's) conduct.
Mr. Cruickshank was called and examined by the Judge-
advocate-General—He said that if he had had means of
transport he could have supplied the horses at Inkermass
with bailey 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 ar, wherein he de-
nied that he was guilty of disobedi— • • •-• 8, and
assorted that the report he ma Lord Lucan
--was founded in fact. Lord r. n 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 been under arrest about-a week,
Lord 'William Paulett came to him from 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 ho had ever heard that Lord Raglan had ex-
pressed dissatisfaction of his (Mr. Cruickshank's) con-
duct. He thought Lord Lucan must bounder a misappre-
hension with respect to it.
Lord Lucan—The letter containing it would bo found
in the Quartermaster-General's office. He supposed Lord
W. Paulott had read it to Mr. Cruickshank at the time of
his release. -
