A group of eight petitions submitted to the Court of Directors of the East India Company. Each dealing with general issues of service and promotion within the officer corps and conditions in the army. The petitions appear to have been in response to the attempt of the government's minister for Indian affairs, Henry Dundas, to alter the regulations of military service in India. This would have had considerable impact on the officer ranks in the service of the East India Company. The petitions were printed in London in 1795 as part of the parliamentary papers. They all bear docketed titles as follows: 1- Memorial of the Officers stationed at Futty Ghur, No. 2; 2- Memorial from the Officers stationed at Chunar Ghurr, No. 3; 3- Memorial from the Officers at Cawnpore, No. 4; 4- Memorial from the Officers at Dinapore, No. 5; 5- Memorial of the Officers stationed at Berhampore, No. 6; 6- Memorial from the Officers of Artillery of the Bengal Establishment, No. 7; 7- Memorial from the Officers on the Fort St. George Establishment, No. 8; 8-Memorial from the Officers on the Bombay Establishment, No. 9. The docket titles are used as the basis for the COPAC entries. COPAC listing three holdings - BL; UCLA; Dublin.
