The number of Candidates who notified their intention of presenting themselves for Examination, was 247, of whom 232 actually attended on the 7th January. One Candidate was rejected by the Medical Board, one withdrew from the Examination, and one was directed to leave the Hall for a breach of the regulations, in having a book of reference in his possession.

Of the remaining 229 Candidates, 129 were found qualified in every respect, and the names of the 70 highest on the List were submitted to His Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-chief, on the 28th January, and in consequence of the error explained in the note, p. 15, the next twelve in the Order of Merit were also recommended subsequently for admission.

The following Tables contain the number of Candidates examined in each subject, the List of successful Candidates, and the General Report of Marks gained by every Candidate in the subjects he took up.

NOTE. It will be observed that Mr. Alleyne, who with another Candidate was bracketed as 69th in the Return of Successful Candidates published on the 1st of February, is 82nd in this Return; and that Index Nos. 223 and 82 have been reduced from the 32nd and 44th to the 38th and 49th places respectively.

This change has arisen from the detection of an error in the former Return, which consisted in counting as Classics the marks gained by these gentlemen in Greek History and Geography, although by the terms of the Prospectus such marks ought not to have been counted, as the requisite minimum in the Language had not been obtained.

Mr. Alleyne having been ordered to join at Addiscombe before this error was discovered, and the intervening twelve Candidates being highly qualified, they have all been admitted to the College, on the authority of His Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-chief and the Secretary of State for War.
