MILITARY DEsaarans.—(Circular Memorandum.)
41m, Guards, Aug. 19.—1 n consequence of the diversity
ef practiee and inefficiency of the existing methods of
naskinz the deserter with the letter D, and it being found,
ha many instances, that the mark has become obliterated in
.• short time, and even been removed by artificial means, it
him hen decided that from the lst of October next this
Pon of the sentence of the court-marshal shall be inflicted, in
01l ewes where practicable, in the military prisons, by the
Medical officer attached to each of those establishments, and
ander speak] instructions from the secretary-at. war.
tneler this improved system it is expected that this ins.
Portant partof the sentences of courta-marshal will be drily
and effectually carried out. Offenders sentenced to ins-
pr,onesent, and who are also to be marked with the letter
0, will, therefore, in all eases be committed to a military
Lrierni, in order to 'this part of their sentence being inflicted.
This rule applies equally to all deserters so sentenced,
whether the individual is ultimately to be discharged
the 'mice or not, although such prisoners may not bo
liable to be retained in the military prisons for a longer
Period than may be deemed sufficient to render the
Mark indelible. Soldiers, however, wko are to be marked
with the letter D and sentenced to transportation, without
Previous imprisonment, or belonging to corps stationed
in districts where there may not be a military prison,
are to be so marked at their regiments, as heretofore.
le order to ascertain how far a permanent impression has
bf co obtained, a record is to be kept at the prima, showing
the date on which the offender is marked, and the state of
the mark when he quits the prison, and reports thereon are
_,th he made periodically to the War-office from the several
ftulitary prisons. An annual return is also to be transmitted
on the Ist of Janu in each year to the War-office by Tegi•
manta and depots, howing the names of all soldiers who
LaVe tken co marked in the military primate, and the state
of the mark at the date of the return being rendered. As
the new arrangement will commence on tho let of October
"f-It. a return fur the quarter to the 31st of December,
IS4I, is to be rendered to the War-office.—(By command)
G. Blows, Adjutant-General.
