1 The Secretary of State, in his despatch of 30th August, 1861, testified to the efficiency with which the Indian Navy had discharged the various loca duties for which it was mainly organized, adding that it had been constantly employed at a distance from India in the suppression of piracy and of the slave trade, and also in regular warfare in association with the Royal Navy in China, Borneo, and New Zealand without cost to the British Exchequer. He added that the Royal Navy could spare few ships for service in Eastern seas (Welby Report, 1900).
