COURT-MARTIAL.

LIEUT. D. B HUMPHREYS.

Head Quarters, Madras, March 24th 1836.-At a general court-martial held at Trichinopoly, on the 27th Feb. 1836, and continued by adjournment, Lieut. David Bogue Humphreys, of the 23d regt. or Wallajahbad L. I, was arraigned on the following charges, preferred by Lieut. T. C. Hawkes, of the same regiment.

First Charge." With scandalous infamous conduct, unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in the following instances:

1st Instance." In having at Trichinopoly, on the 14th of Feb. 1836, made use of insulting expressions to me, in the presence of Lieut. E W. Kenworthy, of the 23d regt. L. I.

2d Instance." In having, at the same place, on the same day, repeated the same insulting expressions to me, in the presence of Lieut. T. W. Cooke, of the same regiment, and Ens. Robert White of the 35th regt. N. I.

Second Charge. -"For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in having at the same time and place endeavoured to provoke me to fight a duel.

(Signed) T. C. HAWKES, "Lieut. 23d regt. L. I." "Trichinopoly, Feb. 19th 1836." Upon which charges the Court came to the following decision:

Finding. That the prisoner is guilty of the first instance of the first charge, with the exception of the word "infa

[merged small][ocr errors]

That the prisoner is guilty of the second charge.

Sentence. The court having found the prisoner guilty to the extent above stated, doth sentence him, the said Lieut. D. B. Humphreys, of the 23d regt. or Wallajahbad L. I., to be discharged the service.

Recommendation.-The court having performed its duty in awarding a punishment adequate to the offence of which the prisoner has been convicted, begs leave (in consideration of Lieut. Cooke having previously to the prisoner being placed in arrest, gratuitously informed him on hearsay, that Lieut. Hawkes had called him a blackguard, and thereby having probably prevented his making an atonement, which would have prevented the charges being preferred against him), most respectfully to recommend the prisoner to the consideration of His Exc. the Commanderin-chief.

(Signed) JOHN WALLACE, Major, 45th N. I., and President. Confirmed. It is always with much regret that I decline acceding to the recommendation of a court-martial; but I cannot see any sufficient grounds for mercy with regard either to the present proceedings or to the previous character of the prisoner, who has twice before been brought to trial, and on a recent occasion censured in General Orders (G. O. 18th Jan. 1836).

(Signed) R. W. O'CALLAGHAN,

Lieut.-gen. and Com.-in-chief. Mr. D. B. Humphreys is to be struck off the strength of the army from the date of the publication of this order at Trichinopoly.

COURTS-MARTIAL.

CAPT. C. HUNTER.

Head Quarters, Bombay, April 5th, 1836-At a general court-martial assembled at Bombay, on the 26th, and re-assembled the 31st March 1836, and of

which Lieut.-col. W. Fendall of H.M. 4th L. Drags., is president, Capt. C. Hunter, of the 16th regt. N. I., was tried on the following charge :

"I charge Lieut. now Capt. C. Hunter, of the 16th Bombay, N. I. with highly disgraceful conduct, unbecoming the character of an officer or gentleman in the following instances :

1st Instance.-" For the most scandalous conduct, in purloining or causing to be purloined from within my premises, situated in the camp of Poona, on or about the 19th of June 1835, an unopened and wafered letter of mine, and producing the same (with the wafer broken) in an open state, at an European general court-martial, assembled at Poona on the 28th day of Dec. 1835.

2d Instance." For falsely, maliciously, and knowingly, stating in an official letter he forwarded to the address of the principal collector of Poona, dated the 20th day of June 1835, that I had refused to give the information he sought, respecting a supposed claim made against me by Subedar Mootee Ram, of the Poona police corps, or words to that effect, when he was well aware that I had furnished him with all the information I possessed on this head, in an official communication I wrote him on the subject on or about the 15th day of June 1835.

3d Instance.-"For, in a most ungentlemanlike manner, breaking the promise he made to me, shortly after my making over charge of the Poona police corps, then in my house in Poona, in June 1835, in not distributing a sum of money amounting to 247 rupees or thereabouts, according to the condition he promised me he would adhere to, on receiving that sum of money, amongst the men of the police corps. Early in the month of June 1835 I found it was still in his, Lieut., now Capt., Hunter's possession on my return to Poona in the month of November 1835.

(Signed) "WM. LONG,

Lieut. 8th N. I." Finding and Sentence.-The court having maturely considered all that has been brought forward on the prosecution, and the prisoner having declined to make any defence, is of opinion, that the prisoner Capt. C. Hunter of the 16th N. I. is

Not guilty of the first instance. Not guilty of the second instance. Not guilty of the third instance of the charge preferred against him.

The Court does, therefore, most fully and honourably acquit him, Capt. C. Hunter, of all and every part of the said charge; and the court is further of opinion, that the several instances of the charge are groundless and malicious.

Approved and Confirmed.

(Signed) JOHN KEANE, Lieut. Gen. Com.-in-chief.

Capt. Hunter has been released from arrest and ordered to return to his duty.

LIEUT. AND ADJ. F. CRISTALL.

Head Quarters, Bombay, April 5th, 1836.-At a general court-martial assembled at Bombay on the 26th March 1836, and of which Lieut.-col. W. Fendall, of H. M's. 4th L. Drags. is president, Lieut. and Adj. F. Cristall, of the 8th regt. N.I. was tried on the following charge :

"I charge Lieut. and Adj. F. Cristall, of the 8th Bombay N. I., with highly dis graceful conduct, unbecoming the character of an officer or gentleman, in the following instances:-

---

1st Instance. -"For having, whilst upon oath at an European general courtmartial assembled in the camp of Poona, on the 29th Dec. 1835, withheld the whole truth when giving his evidence on the part of the prosecution, in thus deposing to a question, put to him by the prosecutor: I do not think it was received till the 13th or 14th of July, but it bore the date of the 8th,' thereby implying that I had been 5 or 6 days in furnishing the explanation I was called upon for, relative to Lieut. C. Hunter's serious complaint by the commandant of the garrison, on the 7th of July 1835; when he, Lieut. and Adj. F. Cristall, must have been well aware that the explanation called for was afforded by me on the 8th of July, and returned to me by him, with an official letter conveying the commandant's request that I would omit the word 'duplicity', on the 10th July 1835.

2d Instance." For having on the same day, at the above-mentioned European general court-martial, falsely stated, whilst upon oath, that the letter he had authenticated as being received on the 13th or 14th of July 1835, was the original one I forwarded to him, bearing date the 8th, he being well aware that it was not such, and that my original letter of the 8th instant, had been returned to me for alteration.

3d Instance." For having also, on the same day, at the same European general court-martial, falsely stated upon oath, that the altered letter, bearing date 8th July 1835, was, to the best of his belief, in my handwriting;' when he, from the frequent correspondence I have had from time to time with him on various objects (in my own hand-writing), must have been aware to the contrary.

(Signed) WM. LONG,

Lieut. 8th N. I. Revised Finding and Sentence.-The court having maturely considered the observations contained in the letter from his Exc. the Commander-in-chief's military secretary, together with the prosecutor's reply, comes to the following opinion,

viz:

That the prisoner Lieut. F. Cristall, of

the 8th regt. N. I, is not guilty of the 1st instance.

Not guilty of the 2d instance. Not guilty of the 3d instance of the charge preferred against him.

The Court does, therefore, most fully and honourably acquit him, Lieut. F. Cristall, of all and every part of the said charge, and is further of opinion, that the first and second instances of the charge are groundless and vexatious, and the third instance groundless and vindictive. Approved and Confirmed.

(Signed) J. KEANE,

Lieut. Gen. Com.-in-Chief. Lieut. and Adj. F. Cristall has been released from arrest, and ordered to return to his duty.

ENS. D. D. CHADWICK.

Head Quarters, Bombay, April 19th, 1836. At a general court-martial assembled at Bombay, on the 26th March 1836, and continued by adjournment and re-assembled on the 4th April 1836, and of which Lieut-Col. W. Fendall, of H. M. 4th Light Drags., is president, Ens. D. D. Chadwick, 8th regt. N. I. (placed in arrest by order of Maj. W. D. Robertson, commanding the same regiment) was tried on the following charges :

First Charge. For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, subversive of good order and discipline, as well as in direct disobedience of a general order by the Commander-inchief, in India, dated 22d June 1822, and re-published at this Presidency, in general orders by the Commander-in-chief, dated 26th Oct. 1825, in writing, or causing to be written and published, a letter addressed to the Editor of the Bombay Gazette, under the assumed signature of "Equite," dated Chowpatty, 24th Aug. 1835, which was published in No. 2513 of the said newspaper, on the 26th day of Aug. 1835, in which said letter he, Ens. D. D. Chadwick, commented on and held up to public reprobation and contempt the conduct of a certain field officer in charge of a regiment, with reference to the degradation of a havildar, he, Ens. Chadwick, meaning by such field officer, Major Robertson of the 8th regt. N. I., his immediate commanding officer, and referring to a transaction in which he. Major Robertson, was concerned, about eleven months before, although under circumstances which bore a very different complexion from that given to it in the said letter.

Second Charge.-For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, injurious to the character of his said commanding officer, tending to produce discontent in, and to subvert the discipline of the 8th regt. of N. I., in falsely stating in the letter above mentioned,

that the officer in charge of the regiment he alluded to, meaning the said Major Robertson, his commanding officer, had exacted from the havildar said to have been degraded, a service highly derogatory and obnoxious to him as a soldier, detrimental to the service at large, and in direct disobedience of orders.

Third Charge.-For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in falsely stating and insinuating, at various times between the said 24th day of Aug. 1835 and the 24th of Feb. 1836, to Ens. Charles Grey, Lieut. Alfred Thomas, and other officers of the 8th regt. at Bombay, that he, Ens. Chadwick, was not the author of the letter signed "Equite" alluded to in the foregoing charges, and also attempting, by the date of the letter and otherwise, to fix the authorship of the said letter on other officers.

Upon which charges the court came to the following decision:

Finding, and Sentence.-The Court having maturely weighed and considered the evidence before it, is of opinion that the prisoner, Ens. D. D. Chadwick is,

Guilty of the first charge, with the exception of the words “and a gentleman :"

Guilty of the second charge, with the exception of the words "and a gentleman"

Not guilty of the third charge.

The Court having found the prisoner guilty as above specified, in breach of the articles of war, in such case made and provided, does therefore sentence him, Ens. David Dempster Chadwick, of the 8th regt. N. I., to be suspended from rank, pay, and allowances for a period of six calendar months; and further to be severely reprimanded in such manner as his Exc. the Commander-in-chiet may direct. (Signed) W. FENDALL,

Lieut.-col. and President. The Court having maturely re-considered their finding on the second charge, together with the remarks of his Exc. the Commander-in-chief thereon, as conveyed in the letter to the president, dated 16th inst., come to the following opinion:

Revised finding on the 2d Charge.That the prisoner, Ens. Chadwick, is guilty of the 2d charge, with the exception of the words " and a gentleman," as they acquit him of intentional falsehood in making the statement referred to therein. The Court adhere to their former sentence.

(Signed) W. FENDALL,
President.

Approved and confirmed,-and Ens. D. D. Chadwick, of the 8th regt. N. 1., is hereby severely reprimanded accordingly.
