Excerpt from Memoirs of the Reign of George III, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Treaty of Amiens, A. D. 1802, to the Termination of the Regency, A. D. 1820

Much had been recently said and written against the savage practice of ¿ogging in the army, and while the mutiny-bill was pending, a clause was inserted at the motion of Mr. Manners Sutton, empowering courts martial to substitute at their discretion the punish ment of imprisonment. A bill also passed, authorizing an interchange of the militias of Great Britain and Ireland, not exceeding the proportion of one-third. By a clause of this bill, Irish catholics serving in England were entitled to all the civil, military, and religious exemptions which they possessed in Ireland.
