He was discharged because of ill health but a lot of the images are difficult for me to read. I think it says he has chronic rheumatism and shortness of breathing.

He served in New South Wales for 7 years and East India for 5 years and 5 months.
He was attested at Atherstone. Warwickshire on 24th December 1834. Discharged 1855 after 20 years and 317 days.
