Received JUL 19
Re-armament of Field Battery
I explicitly lay down the recommendation that flogging should be
inflicted with no instrument other than the birch in any
case whatever; that the maximal
number of strokes inflicted should
not exceed twenty;
that where the Superintendent has dealt with
the case above the maximum number of
strokes should be twelve;
that at all floggings the Superintendent
should be present.

Apparently Major General Gascoigne wants the corps to have quick-firing guns. The question of uniformity in the artillery forces is not one which is likely to be generally practicable.
Refer to C.D.C.
This is rather a large case as proposed.
