1st. "For oppression and cruelty to the invalids placed under his command, par. ticularly in the following instances, viz. in having on or about the month of December, 1822, used cruel and illegal methods of punishment to European and native soldiers, by chaining them to a log, or holding out threats to do so; in having, on or about the month of April, 1823, persisted in compelling Gunga Deen Dhobie, sepoy 1st company 2d battalion native invalids (though incapacitated by the loss of the use of his right hand), to perform military duty in the full dress of a regular soldier, and having by a harassing and vexatious system, driven the said Gunga Deen Dhobie, after a service of eighteen years, to take his discharge from the Invalid Establishment; also, in having on or about the same period, harassed and annoyed some of the pioneer corps and old men from the gun lascars, by compelling them to attend drill with musquets, arms which they never had been accustomed to.

2d." For disobedience of orders, in having on or about the month of April 1823, interfered with the half mounting of the invalids, and endeavoured to effect a change, by directing that various articles of dress should be made up according to particular patterns shown on parade.
