strange indeed, if he should fatally default in

A CURIOUS military point arose at the birth of
the Prince of Wales. 1t had been the custom
for the officer on guard at ST. James's Palace to
be promoted to majority when royal child
was born. The guard was relieved at l045 At
that hour the new guard marched into the palace
yard, and three minutes later the child was born.
The question arose which officer was entitled to
promotion. The officer of the fresh guard
claimed it because the relief marched in before
the birth and the keys were delivered over to
him; but the other officer claimed it because the
sentries had not been changed wher the child
was actually born. His men were still on guard
and he disputed the fact of the delivery of the
keys, arguing that in all probability this had not
occurred at the moment Of the birth Although
there was no precedent, the old guard got it.
