-guard of the division under the
command of Major-General Sir David Ochterlony, Bart., G.C.B., when the
enemy's position, at the pass of Chirecah Ghattie, was turned; and
afterwards, when the enemy was defeated in a general attack on the
heights of Muckwanpore.

Lieutenant Shipp's conduct on the last occasion was much extolled,
having, in personal conflict, with one of the enemy's Sirdars, destroyed
him, when charging the light company on its ascending the hill of
Muckwanpore.

Lieutenant Shipp also served with his regiment at the siege of Hattrass;
and, being one of the first to enter the gate of that fortress, in
endeavouring to intercept the rajah and the garrison, then in the act of
abandoning the place, he received a wound in the hand.

Lieutenant Shipp afterwards served with the left division of the grand
army under the Marquis of Hastings, during the Mahratta and Pindaree war
of 1817-18, and was present at the several sieges in which the left
division was employed, as well as in the pursuit of the Pindarees.

_Attestation from Major-General Watson, in favour of Lieutenant
Shipp's general conduct._

I hereby certify that I knew Mr. Shipp when in the army in the year
1817, at which time he was on my staff, in the East Indies; that I had
frequent opportunities of observing his character and conduct, and can
with truth say, I never knew a more active or zealous officer. I always
found him strictly honest, gentlemanlike, kind, and grateful, possessing
docility of manners and nice feelings.

_Certificate from Major-General Newberry, of Lieutenant Shipp's
conduct during the Pindaree Campaign._

Certified: that I have known Lieutenant Shipp since the year 1813. He
was in the 24th Dragoons with me, and was baggage-master to the left
division of the grand army during the Pindaree campaign. I always found
him a most brave, active, and zealous officer. He was a volunteer on my
staff when the left division fell in with an immense body of those
marauders, on t
