A number of officers who served with Hyder in the 4th Light Dragoons in India were called to give testimony, including Edward Scott: The charge against Hyder was: `For conduct unbecoming the character of an Officer and a Gentleman: For that you, the said Lt. William Augustine Hyder, being quartered with your Regiment at Ballincollig, did, on or about the 17th day of October, in the year 1842, at Inchera, near Cork, and with intent to deceive your Commanding Officer Colonel Vandeleur, endeavour to prevail on Sylvester Oliver, Esquire, to lend you a horse to remain for two months at Ballincollig aforesaid, as your second charger, you the said Lt. Hyder, proposing at the same time to the said Sylvester Oliver Esquire, that no one should, during such two months, get on the said horse.' Testimony: Captain Edward Scott, Half-pay of the 4LD, was sworn, and the charge read to him. Q. Did I join the 4LD under you at Maidstone, in September, 1838, go out with you to India, and on arrived there was I placed in your Troop? A: Yes. Q: How did I do my duty as an Officer? A: As well as the generality of young men of your standing. Q: Do you consider me a man of honour and integrity? A: I don't know anything to the contrary. Q: Do you think me capable of the act with which I am charged? A: No, I don't think you are. I think you have been too long in the service to commit so foolish and so wilful or wrong an act as to attempt to deceive your Commanding Officer. The Prosecutor said he had no questions to put. The President: Have you any more evidence to call as to character? The Prisoner: Only one, Sir. The President: Then we will adjourn the Court for a quarter of an hour. [Hyder was ultimately acquitted] |
