Reading edition
While the regiment was on Dublin duty the following curious order was received.
'Dublin, 31st January, 1764.
'Lieutenant-General Fowkes recommends to the officers of the garrison that they would not play at the castle whilst on duty; and that the officers of the Horse Guards will avoid mixing with the ladies in the drawing-room, on account of the inconveniency of spurs to the ladies' hoop petticoats.
(Signed) 'D. Grant, Captain 52nd Reg., for the Major of Brigade.'
