Inspectors.

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 6: Humber to Malta, p. 172

Inspectors. See FACTORY ACTS, MINING, NUISANCES, POOR-LAWS, SCHOOL INSPECTORS, &c. In the military use of the term, there are two inspectors-general of cavalry in the United Kingdom and two inspectors of auxiliary cavalry, also an inspector general of fortifications. The former inspect the several corps in their districts, and point out deficiencies, the corps being under the command, however, of its own officers, and not of the inspector-general. The latter is responsible for all fortifications and military works in the United Kingdom. District-inspectors of musketry have been replaced by district-assistant-adjutant-generals, and inspectors-general of hospitals by surgeons-general. Inspectors of infantry, artillery, volunteers, and militia have been abolished.
