WARRANT FOR FORMATION OF THE FIRST COMPANY OF THE CORPS.
GEORGE R.
Whereas it hath been represented by the Governor,
Lieutenant-Governor, and Chief Engineer of our garrison and fortress
of Gibraltar, that many advantages would arise to our service if the
fortifications, buildings, and repairs in that place, which are
under the department of the Ordnance, were performed and carried on
for the future by a military company of artificers, and that besides
a saving of expense, the said company, by being subject to military
command and discipline, would be more orderly and regular in their
behaviour than has been hitherto experienced in the hired artificers
employed there: Our will and pleasure therefore is that a company of
artificers be forthwith raised, formed, and from time to time
recruited with such soldiers serving in any of our regiments doing
duty at Gibraltar, as may be fit for that purpose, being volunteers,
and having the consent of the Colonels or Field Officers commanding
such regiments respectively, or with any other men properly
qualified, who shall have been bred to the trades of stonecutters,
masons, miners, lime-burners, carpenters, smiths, wheelers, or
gardeners, and who shall be duly enlisted in the said company, which
shall not exceed the number of sixty-eight, non-commissioned
officers and drummers included, with the respective pays mentioned
in the establishment hereunto annexed. Our will and pleasure also
is, that as soon as the said Company is raised and completed, you do
cause them to be employed in performing and carrying on the
fortifications, buildings, and repairs at Gibraltar, and to be
instructed and paid, from time to time, by the paymaster of the
Ordnance there, upon the same footing as the rest of our troops in
that garrison are paid. And you are to cause such of the artificers
hired in England, and now employed on the works at Gibraltar, as
shall not enlist in the said company, to be sent back to England as
soon as the nature of the service will admit. Our further will and
pleasure is, that the said company shall be under the command and
direction of the chief engineer of the said garrison for the time
being, who is hereby appointed captain of the said company, and of
such engineer or engineers serving at Gibraltar, as he shall find
necessary for his assistance in the command of the said company. And
we do hereby authorize you to pay, or cause to be paid, unto the
non-commissioned officers and private men composing the said
company, such allowance per diem for working money as you shall
think fit, not exceeding two reals per diem each for the days they
are actually employed on the fortifications, works, and repairs,
over and above their established pay; the expense of the whole to be
inserted in your estimates, and to be presented to Parliament.
Lastly, we do hereby require the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, or
Officer commanding in our said Garrison now and for the time being,
to be aiding and assisting to the utmost of their power in carrying
these our orders into execution; and for so doing, this shall be as
well to you, as to them, and to all others concerned, a sufficient
warrant.
Given at our Court of St. James’, the 6th day of March,
1772, in the 12th year of our Reign.
By His Majesty’s command,
(Signed) ROCHFORD.
_To our Trusty and well-beloved Councillor Henry Seymour
Conway, Lieutenant-General of our Ordnance, and to the
rest of the principal Officers of the same, and to the
Master-General, Lieutenant-General, and the principal
Officers of our Ordnance for the time being._

in the Canadian Militia during the Papineau rebellion.
He perished in October 1843, in an attempt to reach
the shore from a vessel driven in a storm on the coast

engaged largely in the coach trade. During the
revolution which dethroned Charles X. the vehicles of
Mr. Sanders were broken up for barricades, and his
horses plundered for the service of the insurgents.
His stock in trade was worth about 8000_l._, but the
wholesale destruction of his property by the rebels,
ruined him. Subsequently he earned a scanty living by
translating for a printer at Boulogne French works
into English, and died in almost abject circumstances
in 1851.

” WILLIAM YOUNG }
June 26. THOMAS CONNOLLY } Still serving in the corps.
Dec. 17. MICHAEL BRADFORD }
COMMISSIONED INTO OTHER CORPS.
1796 May 1. JOHN JOHNSON, enlisted March 13, 1788, and attached to the
Portsmouth company. Was commissioned in the 29th foot as
ensign.
Oct. GEORGE ROSS, enlisted July 31, 1788, and attached to the
Gosport company. Was appointed lieutenant in the Carnarvon
militia.
1799 May 22. MATTHEW SINGLETON, enlisted into the corps as sergeant-major,
September 10, 1798, and promoted to the 46th regiment as
quartermaster.
1828 Jan. 24. THOMAS TOWNSEND, commissioned as second lieutenant and
adjutant of the second battalion 60th regiment. Ultimately
he received a captaincy in the same regiment. A few years
later he sold out, and is now a barrackmaster in the
Ordnance department at Gibraltar.
1851 Sept. 23. EDWARD HILL possessed very creditable attainments. His
duties, either as a clerk or as an overseer, were always
executed with diligence and efficiency. Sir William Reid,
under whom he was employed at Woolwich, praised him for his
exertions and services. Ambitious and enterprising, he
accepted the adjutancy of the Gold-Coast corps, and filled,
in addition to his regimental offices, the appointments of
colonial engineer, and clerk of works in the royal engineer
department. In three or four expeditions against
neighbouring chiefs, his military acquirements were found
of great advantage in directing the formation of camps and
the construction of roads and bridges. Once he commanded at
Mansu, a body of 12,000 fighting men, gathered from the
native tribes in alliance with the British Governor; and, a
little later, he had under his orders four field-pieces and
an army of 21,000 men, 18,000 of whom bore arms. His
head-quarters were at Yancoomassie, and his
force—distributed as far as Douguah, with divisions
intermediately at Wartett and Donasi—carried out, under his
personal orders, the field services necessary to render the
movements of the contingents unchecked and successful. The
army, intended to bring the king of Ashantee to terms, had
the effect of inducing that powerful chief to accept,
without a blow, the ultimatum of the Governor. Early in the
next year Adjutant Hill was detached to Accra, to defend
the Christianburg castle against an armed body of natives
who menaced it. With his usual spirit and bravery he set
about the work and met his fate on February 22, 1854 (a few
days after he was commissioned to be lieutenant), by the
explosion of a small powder magazine while he was in the
act of firing a gun upon the enemy. His employment in the
colony was noticed in honourable terms in ‘The Globe’ for
January, 1853. “Yesterday,” wrote Colonel Hill, the
Governor, “the service lost a gallant, zealous, and most
energetic and useful officer, by the demise of my valued
adjutant, to whose memory much praise is due for the very
efficient manner he ever performed his onerous duties in
this trying climate, and to whom myself and the service are
much indebted for his valuable and faithful services.” His
widow, through the feeling appeal of Colonel Hill, received
the Queen’s Bounty of 60_l._ a-year; and from the
Compassionate Fund, an allowance of 40_l._ a-year for her
three infant children.
1854 Oct 6. JOHN JOSEPH GRINLINTON, commissioned as ensign in the 65th
regiment, and afterwards removed to the 4th King’s Own,
with a view to render his sound practical intelligence and
experience available in the Crimea. During his short career
as an officer he has won golden opinions from his own
circle and his commanding officers. Indeed it would seem
that his connexion with the ranks has rather helped to
increase than diminish his success, and the appreciation
evinced for his exertions and efficiency. On his transfer
to the 4th foot, his commanding officer officially stated,
that his removal would be a loss to the 65th depôt. In less
than six months after doffing the uniform of a
non-commissioned officer, he received promotion as
lieutenant, March, 1855; and in allusion to this rise, his
former commanding officer, in a congratulatory letter, made
this gratifying observation: “I frankly tell you that you
carry under your head-piece the makings of a good officer.”
Subsequently was at the siege of Sebastopol, where,
receiving an appointment as assistant engineer, was
generally employed on surveying duties, and recommended by
Sir Harry Jones for promotion in a dispatch dated 16th
September, 1855.
1855 June 12. JAMES SIMPSON. Was commissioned as staff-quartermaster to the
British Swiss Legion stationed at Dover, and on its
disbandment, was removed with the same rank on the 1st
October, 1856, to the depôt battalion at Stirling.
” 26. GEORGE ALLAN. From quartermaster; was commissioned as Captain
in the Turkish Contingent Engineers.
July 13. JOSEPH LONGLAND. Commissioned as battalion quartermaster in
one of the British foreign legions stationed at
Shorncliffe. The duties of his office in connection with
the organization of a new force, which were most irksome,
shattered his health, and induced him to resign on the
following 31st August.
