Remarks of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.
From what appears in the evidence npon the proceedings of this trial, and from circumsfances that have already come under the cognizance of the Commander-in-Chief, His Excellency is apprehensive that gaming is still indulged in at some Stations of the Army, notwithstanding the frequent prohibitions against it. His Excellency calls upon ail Commanding Officers to exert their influence to put a stop to this pernicious practice ; and they may depend upon receiving his full support in carrying out any measures that they may deem necessary for the repression of a vice destructive of the morale of every regiment in which it is followed, and bo frequently terminating in the ruin and disgrace of those indulging in it. Lieutenant Mitchell is to be struck off the strength of Her Majesty's 75th regiment from the date of the publication of this Order at the Head Quarters of his regiment, which will be reported to the Adjutant-General of her Majesty's forces and to the Military Secretary to his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. (Signed) A. S. 11. MOUNTAIN, Colonel. Adjutant-General H.M.s Foices in India.
