Colonel Pennefather exchanged to the Twenty-eighth Regiment, with Lieut.-Colonel S. J. Cotton, on the 2nd December, 1847, and becoming supernumerary on the arrival of the Twenty-eighth regiment from India in 1848, was placed on half-pay. In August, 1848, Colonel Pennefather was appointed to serve on the Staff of the army in Ireland. SUCCESSION OF COLONELS OF THE TWENTY-SECOND, OR THE CHESHIRE REGIMENT OF FOOT. HENRY, DUKE OF NORFOLK, K.G. _Appointed 16th March, 1689._ LORD HENRY HOWARD, son of Henry, Earl of Norwich, afterwards Duke of Norfolk, was summoned to parliament in 1678, by the title of Lord Mowbray: and on the death of Prince Rupert, in 1682, his lordship was nominated governor and constable of Windsor Castle, and warden of the forest of Windsor; also lord lieutenant of Berkshire and Surrey. On the decease of his father, in 1684, he succeeded to the dignity of DUKE OF NORFOLK, and of Earl Marshal of England; and in May, 1685, he was elected a Knight of the most noble order of the Garter. On the breaking out of the rebellion of the DUKE OF MONMOUTH, the DUKE OF NORFOLK took great interest in raising a regiment of foot for the service of King James II., now the twelfth regiment of foot, of which he was appointed colonel. His Grace did not approve of the measures of the court, and evinced a strong attachment to the protestant religion. One day (says Bishop Burnet) the King gave the DUKE OF NORFOLK the sword of state to carry with him to the Popish chapel, which he carried as far as the door and then stopped, not being willing to enter the chapel. The King said, "My Lord, your father would have gone farther;" to which the Duke answered,--"Your Majesty's father was the better man, and he would not have gone so far." His Grace resigned his regiment, and joined in the invitation to the PRINCE OF ORANGE. When the Prince landed, the DUKE OF NORFOLK was in London, and was one of the Peers who petitioned the King for a free parliament. He afterwards proceeded to his seat in Norfolk, declared for the Prince of Orange, and brought that and some of the neighbouring counties into the Prince's interest. On the elevation of the Prince of Orange to the throne, his Graced was sworn a member of the privy council; and afterwards used his interest and influence in raising a corps of infantry, now the TWENTY-SECOND REGIMENT, of which he was appointed colonel in March, 1689; but he resigned his commission in the same year. He died on the 2nd of April 1701. SIR HENRY BELLASIS, KT. _Appointed 28th September, 1689._
