Convict Reriments.

At the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the British army had a bad
reputation at home, and 1t was very
difacult to get recruits for it. For this
reason it was officially proposed to find
the men by IN impressment falling on
"any sturdy beggar, fortune teller or
the like idle, unknown, suspected fell
low in the parish; or, il there be none
such. then any one that has already
been In a gaol or before q justice Of the
peace for his idle, disorderly life." The
advice was acted upon. Debtors were
released from prison on promising to
join the army or the navy, criminals
were pardoned on the same terms, and
persons with no visible means OF sub
sistence were marched OF to death ara
glory. The system worked out better
than might have been expected. In the
peninsular war. for instance, three new
regiments were composed entirely Of
convicts. ana ono made for itself an IL
lustrious name.
