The comma is usually admissible between the clauses, when the words in order come before the conjunction that, unless they are preceded immediately by the verb; as, "Cæsar visited Britain, in order that he might conquer the inhabitants." The man travelled in order that he might regain his strength."

h. The distinction recommended in the punctuation of the first example under each of the Remarks ƒ and g may seem rather nice; but, undoubtedly, the phrase in order that obstructs the flow of a sentence more than the simple conjunction that.
