THE ARMY.

War-Olfee, Department of Accompts,
July 5, 1822.
SIR-I have the honour to inclose a copy of the ird Article
of the 19th Section of the Articles of War * for the present
year, which prescribes the course to be pursued with respect to
the effects of officers and men dying in India ; and I have to
desire that the greatest care may be taken by the Major of the
Regiment, and by the Officer commanding the troops or com-
panies, to ascertain and specify in each ease whether the officer
in man so dying was possessed, at the period of his death, of
any other property of any description whatever, exclusive of
that stated on the Casualty Return. If no such other property
was left, a memorandum to that effect is invariably to be made

on the said-retnrn.
I am further to desire that, in all cases in which any such
other property, not included in the Casualty Return, may be
left, a statement of its nature and amount may be made to the
Registrar of the Supreme Court, in order that it 'may be duly
' collected by him, and thus secured in his hands for the benefit
of the legal reOesentative of the officer and soldier.
I have,*&c.
