Note 384 — 1841.
Reading edition
Was discharged in October, 1850, and pensioned at 1s. 9d. a-day. Out of a service of thirteen years in the corps, he was eleven abroad, at Gibraltar, in Syria, and China. From the last station he returned in a distressing state of emaciation and weakness. There, though a sergeant, the necessities of the service required that he should labour at the anvil, and the skilfulness of his work was superior to anything that could be procured at Hong Kong.
