have taken a lenient view in many cases, as
with persons who volunteer their services, I do
not think that extreme strictness should be
enforced in all cases without distinction.

proved, particularly of late, in consequence of
the encouragement held out by the Govern-
ment and other prizes.

The Corps has been inspected during this
year by Colonel Sir James Alexander and by
Colonel Warre, and both those officers were
pleased to signify their approval of its appear-
ance and field movements.

I have, &c.,
H. C. BALNEAVIS,
Lt.-Colonel Commanding.

The Deputy Adjutant-General,

I am also instructed to request you to con-
vey to Lieut-Colonel Balneavis, the Officers,
Non-Commissioned Officers, and Men of the
