February 1846

 Lots of troop movements, particularly in the wake of the 11th's sudden move from VDL to Sydney in January to deal with a slightly mutinous 99th Regiment.

THE ARMY.

It is said that the Commander of the Forces has decided that the 11th Regiment shall proceed to Sydney, the 99th Regiment to New Zealand, and the 58th Regiment to Hobart Town. It was supposed to have been his Excellency's intention to have sent the 51st K.O.L.I. to New Zealand, where the services of such a highly disciplined corps would of course be much wanted, but the fact that the last detachments from the depot and the clothing have-been forwarded to India, shows that Sir Maurice O'Connell determined to adhere to the original arrangement. The 51st will probably embark in April, certainly in August.
