of Original Document:
To—The King ! Shelter of the World !
Your Majssty’s orders in the first instance were to the effect that such men as were late in joining the Royal forces, should be kept on as supernumeraries, in the grades in which they had formerly served. This order gave entire satisfaction to all the Officers and Soldiery. Those men who have been late in arriving have now, however, given a petition, and have had a seniority list prepared. All the Privates and Non-Commissioned Officers have in this matter accordingly representedto their Commissioned Officers the justice they will suffer, if, to the prejudice of the evident claims of those who, coming long before, have been daily in the batteries, and have on every occasion yielded obedience to all Your Majesty’s commands, places are given to men who have joned after such great delay. We, all the Commissioned Officers of the 3rd Regiment of Infantry, therefore pray that Your Majesty’s first order, which gave such entire satisfaction to the whole Army, may be allowed to continue undisturbed force. Considering it necessary, we have laid the matter before Your Majesty. (Prayers for the prosperity of the reign.) Petition of the slaves Jewaram, Ajodhya Chobe and others, all the Commissioned Officers of the 3rd Regiment of Infantry.
No order or note of any kind.
