The regiment was recruited to 311 men by the 1st of January, 1824; in June it marched to London, and was stationed a short time in the Regent's Park barracks, during the absence of the Life Guards for the purpose of being reviewed. In July the head-quarters removed to Canterbury. [Sidenote: 1825] In the summer of 1825 the regiment again took the London duty, during the absence of the household cavalry, and was subsequently removed to Brighton and Chichester. [Sidenote: 1826] [Sidenote: 1827] The regiment marched, in the spring of 1826, to Exeter and Topsham; in January, 1827, it was stationed at Hounslow and Hampton-Court, and on the 20th of that month it was on duty on the occasion of the funeral of His late Royal Highness the Duke of York. [Sidenote: 1828] From Hounslow the regiment marched to Liverpool, and embarking for Ireland, landed at Dublin in April, 1828, after an absence of upwards of twenty-three years from that part of the United Kingdom. On landing it marched to Dundalk and Belturbet; it returned to Dublin in May, 1829. [Sidenote: 1829] Lieut.-General Lord R. E. H. Somerset was appointed to the Royal Dragoons in November, 1829, and the command of the SEVENTEENTH Lancers was conferred by His Majesty on Major-General Sir John Elley, K.C.B., K.C.H. [Sidenote: 1830] In May, 1830, the head-quarters proceeded to Newbridge; and soon after the accession of King William IV., on the 26th of June, the regiment was directed to wear scarlet clothing, with yellow lace, and blue trowsers; and to discontinue the moustaches. [Sidenote: 1831] On the 1st of April, 1831, the SEVENTEENTH marched from Limerick; and it performed much harassing and severe duty in consequence of the disturbed state of the county of Clare. [Sidenote: 1832] The regiment proceeded to Dublin in April, 1832; it there lost three men from the cholera morbus; in June it embarked for Bristol, and it was designed to occupy quarters at Gloucester, but did not enter that city for several days for fear of communicating the cholera. The head-quarters proceeded thither on the 29th of June; but the cholera having broken out in Gloucester they were withdrawn to Wotton-under-Edge and Dursley. In November, the cholera having ceased, they returned to Gloucester. [Sidenote: 1833] In March, 1833, the regiment proceeded to Hounslow, Hampton-Court, and Kensington; and on the 10th of September it was reviewed at Windsor by His Majesty, who was graciously pleased to express to Major-General Sir John Elley, and to Lieut.-Colonel Lord Bingham, his royal approbation of its appearance, using the expression, "It is perfect." After the review the officers had the honour to dine with the King, in St. George's Hall, Windsor Castle, and His Majesty repeated the expressions of his high approbation of the appearance and movements of the SEVENTEENTH Lancers, and added, that he had the gratification of reviewing this regiment half a century before, when it was stationed at New York.
