The elections which took place in January, 1835, occasioned the regiment much extra duty and many harassing marches; and its conduct, with that of the other regiments in Ireland, elicited the following communications.
'DISTRICT MEMORANDUM.
'Adjutant-General's Office,
'Cork, 30th January, 1835.
'The Major-General is most happy to notify to the commandants of corps, that it appears from communications which he has received from the magistrates of this district, that the conduct of the detachments called out in aid of the civil power during the late elections, was, without exception, remarkably good. That the troops, to their praise be it said, never entered into party spirit on one side or the other, and that they never were employed except to protect the voters, and acting under the magistrates for the preservation of the peace.
(Signed) 'Charles Turner,
'Asst. Adjutant General.'
