military duties of the Ordnance are the command of the

Majesty's troops should not bare the chief command of the
Artillery and Engineers as well as the control of the Cavalry
and Infantry, which he at present commands. There will
be no difficulty is the traesference of the mili-
tary command of the Artillery and Engineers.
There are at present attached to the Artillery two
officers • Deputy Adjataut-Oeneral and an Assistant
