REVIEW OF THE THIRTY-FOURTH REGIMENT,
AT DUBLIN,
ON THE 21st OF JUNE, 1844.
GENERAL SIR THOMAS MAKDOUGALL BRISBANE, Bart., G.C.B. and G.C.H.,
having arrived in Dublin from his seat, Makerstoun, near Kelso,
reviewed this regiment (of which he is Colonel) in Richmond
Barracks. After having received the general salute, he proceeded
down the line, making a most minute inspection, and marking out and
questioning every old soldier in the corps. The regiment then went
through various movements, and concluded by forming square, when
the General addressed the men in a most soldier-like and impressive
manner, stating, that through a very long period of service, it had
been his duty to inspect many Corps, and that he could safely aver
that he had never seen one in better order, or in a higher state of
discipline, than the THIRTY-FOURTH. He adverted to the importance
of sobriety, and the advantages of education, as the means of any
one belonging to the regiment attaining the rank which he himself
held, instances of which, the General observed, were afforded by
the British Army. He concluded by expressing his wish, that in
order to commemorate his visit to the regiment, all prisoners, not
under sentence of Courts Martial, might be allowed to return to
their duty without further punishment.
