Note 252 — APPENDIX III. Memorandum addressed to Sir B. D’Urban on the Diet and Treatment of Soldiers in Confinement.[252]
Reading edition

It is clear that the Board of Officers were proposing a more stringent treatment of prisoners than that which Harry Smith had adopted and which they maintained was more lenient than was permitted by the Royal Warrant.
