These men, with others, volunteered in 1845 for the above duty in the Colony, and their pensions were fixed by the Chelsea Board, but with an understanding that they were not to draw the same during their service.

On the last occasion, by Major Staveley, in a letter from Hong Kong, 28th July 1868.
