Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diary and Consultation Book (Public Department), 1755, Vol. 84: With an Introduction and Notes Pigot and his Council were equally embai rassed by the independent and, in general, unreasonable attitude shown by Colonel Adlercron. The Public Consultations give us only a glimpse of this strained relationship between the Civil and Military authorities. In order to get a full view of it we may refer here to the Military Consultations as well. In the previous volume we have seen that it was not without much difficulty that Saunders had extorted a promise from the Colonel that he would do every thing to promote the Com -pany 's interests and would not interfere in the' 'command of their garri sons But the Colonel, it will be seen, did not scruple to break the promise the moment the restraining influence of Saunders was removed from the Government. Pigot, however, gave him little scope to exercise supreme authority over the Company's army or to meddle in country politics. He reminded him of the compact he had made with Saunders in those matters, and humoured him in other matters of lesser consequence. He acceded to his demands where prudence dictated such a course necessary but always impressed on him the cardinal fact that the Company's Civil authorities would never submit to the dictation of the Military authorities, even though such Military authorities might have been appointed by the Crown.
