HORSE GUARDS, October 1, 1858.
THE following AMENDED REGULATIONS
are issued in reference to the Memoranda of the 23d De-
cember; 1857, and the Ist June, 1858, for the guidance of Can-
didates for admission, by competive examination, into the
Royal Military College at Sandhurst_:—
1. The age of admission to be from 15 to 19 years.
2. Every candidate for admission must apply, through his
parent or guardian, to the Commander-in-Chief to have his
name entered on the list of candidates.
3. He must transmit with his application the following
documents, viz.: (a) A certificate of birth, or other satisfactory
proof of his age ; (b) a certificate from a minister of the church
or denomination to which he belongs, of his having been duly
instructed in the principles of religion ; (c) a certificate from
the master or tutor under whom he has been educated, of his
general moral conduct for at least the two preceding years.
4. His name having been placed upon the list of candidates,
it will be open to him to offer himself at any one of the half-
yearly examinations which may occur while he is within the
prescribed limits of age. If he is unsuccessful at that exami-
nation, he will be allowed to present himself at any subse-
quent examination until he has exceeded the maximum age.
His want of success, however, in these examinations will not
preclude him from entering the Army on obtaining a direct
commission in the usual manner.
5. He will be examined by a medical officer, who will ascer-
tain whether he is free from all bodily and organic defects,
and whether, as far as regards physical constitution, he is in
every point of view fit for military service.
6. The period of study will not exceed two years.
7. Gentlemen cadets will be examined periodically, and
commissions in the Cavalry or the Line will be given, in the
order of merit, to those who attain the highest places ; the
number of such commissions having been previously announced
to the College. The remainder of those who are successful
will be equally, eligible with those who have passed the usual
examination for direct commissions, but they will have the
priority of appointment over the latter, provided they have
obtained certificates of good conduct and proficiency in their
military exercises.
8. Any gentleman cadet desirous of entering the Royal
Artillery or Royal Engineers will be permitted to offer him-
self as a candidate at any of the competitive examinations for
admission into the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, held
after he shall have attained the requisite age ; and his position
at the Royal Military College will not be affected in the event
of failure at such examination.
9. The payments by Cadets at the Royal Military College
will be on the following scale, viz. : _

Per Annum.
