and 22nd,[49] and a second Canadian rebellion, in 1839, which was
suppressed by the 24th, 32nd, and 66th.

During the ten years between 1839 and 1849 duelling, which had
continued very prevalent, was abolished. The last fought in England
was between Mr. Hawkey of the Royal Marines and Mr. Seton of the 11th
Hussars, on the beach at Gosport, in which the latter was mortally
wounded. This was in 1845.

Flogging, which it had often been proposed to abolish, was reduced to
fifty lashes in 1846, when good conduct medals and badges, as well as
gratuities for non-commissioned officers and military savings banks,
were introduced. Barrack accommodation was improved, regimental schools
introduced, and either proper married quarters, or lodging money to
men who married by permission “on the strength of the Regiment,” took
the place of the disgraceful system that had before obtained of the
married women sleeping in the same room as the men, the bed only being
curtained off.

The school of musketry at Hythe was also inaugurated; and in 1851 the
principle of granting medals was extended to cover the Indian victories
from 1803 upwards. Medals for the long war and the recent Indian
successes were issued, but of all the host who upheld the national
honour when Napoleon ruled, only 19,000 recipients were found for the
Peninsular decoration, and but 500 for the victory of Maida!

The next French “war scare” arose in 1847, because of a pamphlet,
written by the Prince de Joinville, pointing out the military
defencelessness of Great Britain, and the poor condition of our
defensive forces. This had never been more clearly pointed out than
when the Duke of Wellington wrote to Sir John Burgoyne: “It is
