TitleLetter from the Duke of Wellington to Sir Herbert Taylor, on the subject of corporal punishment in the army
Date6 April 1833
WriterWellington, 1st Duke of, Field Marshal
AddresseeTaylor, Herbert, Sir
DescriptionThe Duke of Wellington thought the question of corporal punishment was over, but he, then, was given from Lord Burdett a notice of a motion to re-consider the matter in order to satisfy public opinion.
He believes that he, as well as other military men, have a better judgement on the matter i.e. in believing in the necessity of corporal punishment in order to maintain discipline in the Army; yet, because of the opposition of public opinion, he wonders if they might be wrong.
