'Claims of Major W Jacob & Lt Col Grant connected with the pleas for the defences of Aden'
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence and minutes cited in, or enclosed with, a Military Letter from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, dated 10 September 1847.
The item relates to requests for remuneration made by Major William Jacob, Bombay Artillery, and Lieutenant-Colonel Charles William Grant, Superintendent Engineer, following their work on the new defences at Aden. The item includes discussions by members of the Government of Bombay Council and the Governor-General of India as to whether the men should be remunerated or whether this might set an ‘embarrassing precedent’. In particular, the Governor-General’s correspondence cites several examples of similar scenarios where officers have not been remunerated beyond the usual allowances. The requests are forwarded on to the Court of Directors for their consideration.
As well as the above, the item’s correspondents also include the Military Board, Bombay.
Most of the material dates from 1846-47, except from minor extracts of letters cited in Jacob’s letter. These extracts date from 1844.
The title page of the item contains the following references: ‘Bombay Military’, ‘P.C. [Previous Communication] 5942, Draft 151/48’, ‘Collection No. 3’ and ‘Military Department, Dec[embe]r 1847’.
