_East India House, 27th January, 1826._
Sir,--Your letter of the 4th November, 1825, has been laid before the Court of Directors of the East India Company, and I am commanded to acquaint you that, adverting to the circ.u.mstance of your not having derived the benefit of their resolution of the year 1809, to appoint you a cadet in the Company's service, and in consideration of the conspicuous gallantry which you have displayed on so many occasions, and of the wounds received by you in the course of your service in India, the Court have resolved that, as a mark of their favourable notice, you be granted a pension of fifty pounds per annum, commencing from Christmas last.
I am, &c.,
(Signed) J. DART, _Lieutenant John s.h.i.+pp_, _Secretary._ _British Coffee-House, c.o.c.kspur Street._
No. VII.
_Extract of a Letter, written by Captain Gully, 87th Regiment, to Sir Antony b.u.t.ter, Bart., Lord Chief Justice of Calcutta, recommending Lieutenant s.h.i.+pp to his Lords.h.i.+p's favourable Notice._
My dear Sir Antony,--From the very great regard I had for Lieutenant s.h.i.+pp, formerly of the 87th regiment, who was unfortunately dismissed the service a short time since, but, in consequence of his general good conduct as an officer and a gentleman, was recommended for the half-pay, which was granted him, I hope you will excuse the liberty I take in asking your a.s.sistance, should it be in your power, in getting him some situation which would contribute towards his maintenance.
He has left us much regretted by, I may say, all the officers of the corps. His conduct, previous to the unfortunate court-martial, was that of a brave soldier, a steady friend, and an upright, honest man; and I am convinced, should it be in your power to procure him a situation, that he will fill it with the greatest exactness.
Believe me to remain, &c. &c., (Signed) W.L. GULLY.
