that some members of the corps in qminieu attended re
cessions on the 151 th of July, in &Sew ethic Euellenq's
order of the 4th instant, strictlyp such attendext.
" It having been proved ;bat Thomas Whyte
of the Redhill's corps, did nut only Mud such a premix,
but was guilty of a further act of Inenbordinadon at the
parade of the collie on the 11th instant, (when the phi*
tory order was read) by observing that " he was dirested by
the brigade major to advise the men not to walk mac IM,
but he did not care whether they followed the advice or ox."
His Excellency feels it distressing to visk with the strict
mark of disapprobation the misconduct of an ollicer eke
brother is the Captain of the corps; but a sense of psbdt
duty imposes upon his Excellency the necessity cif remain
