Quebec, 8th February 1896. 
 
 Sir, 
 
 I beg respectfully to lay before you a cnrtailed statement of 
 correspondence with reference to the Disbandnient of No. 3 
 Quebec Garrison Artillery, under the false plea of being " non- 
 elective" and shall feel deeply grateful if you will give your interest 
 in having the whole case thoroughly sifted, by Public investiga- 
 tion or Court Martial as may be deemed best in the public good 
 and the reputation of the officers and men of said Battery. 
 
 Such a case may happen in any district or province in the 
 Dominion and the character of member of corps injured on 
 account of underhand spite or jealously. 
 
 I am, Sir, 
 
 Your obediant servant, 
 
 H. D. MORGAN, 
 
 Captain Retired. 
 Late in command of No. 3 Q. G. A. 
 
 Synopsis of charges and correspondence with reference to the 
 disbandment of No. 3 Battery Garrison Artillery, Quebec, as 
 brought before last session Parliameni; by the member for 
 Quebec Center. 
 
 * CHARGES. 
 
 Extract from the Canada Gazette of 17th December 1892 : 
 Militia General Orders. 
 
 Head quarters, Ottawa, i6th Dec. 1892. 
 
 " No. 3 Quebec Garrison Battery. This battery having become 
 non-effective, is removed from the list of corps of Active Miliiia 
 
 I 
 
— 2 — 
 
 I 
 
 Captain Hemy David Morgan, is permitted to retire retaining 
 his rank, ana Lieutenant David Witmore Moigan, retires trom 
 the service. " 
 
 Colonel Irvine, Inspector of Artillery reports to the general 
 officer commanding " The officers and non commissioned officers 
 knew very little about their work and the men knew nothing 
 except a few numbers at the 64 pounder. The subaltern, Lieute- 
 nam; Morgan, was unable to perform the simplest company 
 movements and knew nothing at all of his 40 pounder gun drill. 
 He also reports that the men in the ranks were not physically 
 fit, and that the Battery was inefficient. For several years past 
 they have been unable to perform their annual gun practice. " 
 
 Lieutenant Morgan, is not stated in general orders as having 
 resigned his Commission His corps being disbanded he was 
 necessarily removed from the listof officers of the Active Militia.'' 
 
 In answer to the beforementioned charges Captain Morgan 
 writes to the Minister of Militia 21st February 1893. 
 
 *•■ In answer to this I myself had just passed a special course 
 and ray other officer has a certificate. I passed inspection 
 every year, and no fault was found. Two of the N. C. officers 
 hold certificates and were counted good. The men had their 
 usual 12 days drill and had been previously inspected by Lt- 
 Colonel Montizambert and no fault found. They were instructed 
 by two of Battery Instructors Sergeant Major Lyndon and Ser- 
 geant Rainboux, I applied to be allowed to have annual gun 
 practice and was refused. 
 
 Captain Morgan further requests an inquiry be held into the 
 truthfulness of Major Wilson's, B Battery inspection reporton No. 
 3 Battery Quebec Garrison Artillery on 30th June 1892, 
 
 This has not been granted. Captain Morgan also asked. 
 
 " Why did tl^e Inspecting officer allow the Bactery to receive 
 their annual pay in the face of such a deplorable condition of the 
 
 ./ 
 
— 3- 
 
 } 
 
 Batter)' by so doing he did an injustice to the service r.nd also to 
 the Dominion Treasury. M. C. 1887, Sec. 116 and 310. 
 
 The attendance at Drill was signed by Captain Morgan, but 
 the Inspecting officer signed the report of efficiency, which was 
 necessary before pay was granted. If the Inspecting officer signed 
 otherwise, why was pay granted ? 
 
 Art. 310. " Payment for drill shall be made only upon proof 
 of compliance with such regulations touching such drill and the 
 efficiency of the corps. " 
 
 The Battery for the last ten years has never been found fault 
 with, nor has pay been refused. I am therefore at a loss to know 
 why all at once such a damaging, insulting and false report should 
 be given to the Public as in the Report of i6th Dec. 1892. 
 
 I can only request in justice to myself and all other members 
 of the Battery, that a thorough investigation or Court Martial 
 take place to sift out the unfounded charges against said Battery 
 such as physique very poor, Drill bad, Battery not efficient and did 
 not practice.
