On the 20th of January, 1848, the reserve battalion of the
SIXTY-SEVENTH regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel William
Nesbitt Orange, embarked at Cork, in the Bombay freight-ship, and
arrived at Gibraltar on the 8th of February following.

General Sir Robert Wilson, then Governor of Gibraltar, in his report,
dated the 18th of May, 1848, on the SIXTY-SEVENTH regiment, remarked,

"It is a corps composed of a superior body of men, well regulated and
well conducted, having had since its arrival but nine courts-martial.

"Its interior economy is carefully superintended by
Lieutenant-Colonel Brooke.

"Her Majesty's Regulations are strictly observed in all the
prescribed cases.

"It discharges every duty commendably, and is an efficient portion of
the Garrison for every service."

The depôt company was removed from Cork to the Isle of Wight, in
February, 1848.
