HISTORY OF THE INDIAN NAYY.
291
to the Indian Navy the following despatch from the Honour
able the Court, No. 4, dated the 11th of January, 1854.
"Par. 1. We have the gratification of apprizing you that
among the honours and promotions by special brevet which
have been conferred by the Queen upon the East India Com
pany's Military officers, for service during the late operations in
Burmah, Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to appoint
Captain Henry Blosse Lynch, of the Indian Navy, to be an
extra member of the Military Division of the Third Class, or
Companion of the most Honourable Order of the Bath.
" 2. We also inform you that the Government of India has,
in the 22nd and 23rd paragraphs of their despatch in the Secret
Department, dated the 2nd of July, 1853, noticed in very
flattering terms the conduct and services of the several com
missioned officers of the Indian Navy who were employed and
have distinguished themselves in the course of the war, and
that it has appeared to us that, adverting to that communication
and to the other commendatory despatches which have been
published in the 6 London Gazette,' during the progress of
hostile operations, we might very appropriately show our sense
of the conduct of the Indian Navy by conferring some special
mark of favour and approbation upon Commander Charles
Dugald Campbell, who is the senior of the Indian Naval officers
named in such despatch of the 2nd of July, 1853, whose rank
is immediately below that which would render him eligible for
the honorary distinction of the Bath.
"We have accordingly resolved that Commander Charles
Dugald Campbell, Indian Navy, be presented with a sword of
the value of 200 guineas, with a suitable inscription, in testi
mony of the high sense entertained by the Court of Directors The London-based directors of the East India Company who dealt with the daily conduct of the Company's affairs. of
his services in the Burmese war."
A like compliment was paid to Commander James Rennie.
The Court sent him a complimentary letter, referring to a
despatch from the Governor-General in Council, respecting the
services rendered by him during the Burmese War, and inti
mated their intention to present him with a sword of the value
of 200 guineas in testimony of their appreciation of his con
duct. This resolution of the Court was communicated to the
Service in a General Order, dated the 11th of July, 1854.
