The llth Light Dragoons was, it is universally
admitted, before Lord Cardigan succeeded to its command,
one of the most harmonious regiments in the service.
The relations of the more immediate predecessors of his
Lordship, with its officers, had, indeed, been almost pater.
nal. No sooner, however, does his Lordship undertake its
command, than spies and talebearers are once more in re- '

harmony and discipline of the regiment jeopardised, by
the most captious and tyrannical conduct on his part.
Three officers of this distinguished corps are now under
his Lordship's ban—Captain Richard Anthony Rey-
nolds, Captain John William Reynolds, and Lieu' enant
of course, impossible for us to guess
Forrest. How many more court-martials his Lordship may
