[39]. The lascars can scarcely be called artillerymen; it is true that they fill certain numbers at the gun, but the greater portion were employed on the drag-ropes.

[46]. There is some unaccountable error in the above. Goddard left Culpee in May, 1778, with Leslie’s force. He was employed in 1781 at the Bhoreghat against the Mahrattas, who may have been mistaken for Rohillas. The detachment with Sir Eyre Coote sailed from Calcutta in October, 1780. Montague appears on the returns of one of these companies, but from the circumstantial account of his wound, we must suppose he went round and joined Goddard, and returned in the end of 1781. The regimental returns are blank from July 1780 to April 1781, and the companies absent on service are not included till their return. We had thought that Lieutenant Montague was quarter-master to the artillery in 1781.—E. B.
