HORSE GUARDS, October 1, 1858.
THE following AMENDED REGULATIONS

didates for admission, by competive examination, into the
Royal Military College at Sandhursr:-
1. The age of admission to be from-15 to 19 years.

documents, viz.: (a) A certificate of birth, or other satisfactory
proof of his age; (b) a certificate from a minister of the church

prescribed limits of age. If he is unsuccessful at that exami-

number of such commissions having been previously announced
to the College. The remainder of those who are successful

priority of appointment over the latter, provided they have
obtained certificates of good conduct and proficiency in their
military exercises..

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
