Chapter XXIV: Part 24

1852 Sergeant HENRY QUODLING. By a number of civilians at York. A
case of professional instruments, “was a token of
their affectionate regard on his leaving England for
Van Diemen’s Land.” It was presented to him at a
dinner provided by the subscribers; “and it must,”
writes the ‘Yorkshire Gazette’ of June 12, 1852, “be
highly gratifying to the members of the corps
connected with the ordnance survey in the city, to
find that their general conduct has been such, as to
win for them the respect of the citizens of York.”

1854 Sergeant BENJAMIN CASTLEDINE. From the Governor of the Royal
Military College, Sandhurst. A case of mathematical
drawing instruments, “for intelligence, zeal, and
uniform good conduct in charge of the detachment
employed in the field-work instruction at the
college.”

1855 Quartermaster MICHAEL BRADFORD. From the non-commissioned
officers of the corps at Woolwich. An elegant
double-handled silver goblet, “as a mark of regard and
esteem.”

1855 Sergeant-major JAMES STEEL and Quartermaster-sergeant B. KEEN
SPENCER. Each a present of 10_l._ from Prince Albert,
“as a mark of H.R.H.’s approval of their attention and
care in making the survey of Osborne.”

1856 Quartermaster MICHAEL BRADFORD. From Captains Theodosius Webb,
G. Ross, F. E. Cox, Fitzroy Somerset, and Lieutenant
G. R. Lempriere, R.E. A regimental sword, “as a mark
of their regard and esteem for his character and
conduct.” He was the sergeant-major at head-quarters,
while the officers who made the presentation
successively filled the appointment of Acting
Adjutant.

1856 Staff-sergeant JAMES RAINEY MUTCH. From “inhabitants of
Woolwich.” A neat silver tea-service of three pieces,
“in grateful acknowledgment of the eminent services he
has rendered to the Literary and Scientific
Institution, the Mutual Benefit Building Society, and
other associations, having for their object the
benefit of the community.” The service was handed to
sergeant Mutch by Richard Pidcock, Esq., the
church-warden, at a public meeting of the subscribers.
Mr. Mutch has since been promoted to be Quartermaster
in the Corps.

1856 Corporal JAMES FRANKHAM CHURCH. From the Royal Geographical
Society of London. A silver watch and appendages, by
Frodsham, in appreciation of “his meritorious and
intelligent services on the Central African
Expedition, 1853–54.” The testimonial was presented to
him by the President, Admiral Beechey, and Sir John
Burgoyne did the corporal the honour of replying to
the observations of the Admiral, and thanking the
society for the gift.
