The Commanding Officer is very sorry to be obliged so often to find fault, with the non attendance of the British Militia, for the ordinary Picquet at the time ordered, it is his positive orders that every man warned for that duty, shall assemble at the Main Guard at retreat beating, from whence when assembled, they will form on the grand Parade and march immediately to Mr. Drummond's. It’s with the greatest regret, that the Commanding Officer is obliged to make use of harsh methods to inforce discipline, but his duty & the exigencies of the service required it, nor is it reasonable that the good men, of which there a great majority should be kept on the parade, waiting for the indolent and slothful, who must expect, when in fault to be not only fined but otherwise severely punished.
