I have a distinct recollection that some years ago, it was found necessary by the Military Authorities to take steps to lessen if possible the amount of drunkenness among the Soldiers of I think the 59th Regiment, and one remedy tried was that of not permitting Soldiers to enter the Town, Sentries being posted near Keying House, and St. Paul's College to prevent them going farther westward.
