the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having, at Palaveram, on the morning of the 18th of Feb. 1833, entered the quarters of Lieut. John Alfred Stoddart, of the 5th regt. of N. I, and then and there vilified and aspersed the character of Ens. and Adj. Hillyar Young Pope, of the 27th regt. of N.I., more especially by designating him "a damned liar:" such aspersion having direct reference to a charge which had been preferred by him, Lieut. Birley, against the said Ens. Pope, on the 14th of July 1831, and which had been officially returned to him, Lieut. Birley, as unwarrantable and unjustifiable, by order of his Exc. the Commander-inchief, as set forth in a letter from the Adjutant-general of the Army, under date the 26th of July 1831.

Second Charge.-For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in neglect of the fifth paragraph of the fourteenth section of Standing Orders, in the following instances.

First Instance. In having, at the time and place set forth in the first charge, been out of his quarters without leave, visiting, when in the sick report.

Second Instance.-In having, at the same place, on the evening of the same day, been again out of his quarters, without leave, when in the sick report.

The above being in breach of the Articles of War.

(Signed) LEONARD COOPER,

Lieut. Col.Com., 27th regt. N.I. Palaveram, 27th Feb. 1833.

The court having most maturely weighed and considered the whole of the evidence adduced in support of the prosecution, as well as what the prisoner, Lieut. Daniel Birley, of the 27th regt. of N.I., hath advanced in his defence, and the evidence in support thereof, is of opinion:

Finding on the First Charge.-That the prisoner is guilty of behaviour unbecoming an officer, in having, at Palaveram, on the 18th of February 1833, aspersed the character of Ensign Hillyar Young Pope, of the 27th regt. of N.I., by accusing him of "lying," such aspersion having direct reference to a charge which had been preferred by him, Lieut. Birley, against the said Ens. Pope, on the 14th July 1831, and which had been officially returned to him, Lieut. Birley, as unwarrantable and unjustifiable, by order of his Exc, the Commander-in-chief, as set forth in a letter from the adjutant general of the army, under date the 26th of July 1831; but not guilty of the remainder of the charge.

Finding on the First Instance of the Second Charge.-That the prisoner is guilty.

Finding on the Second Instance of the Second Charge.-That the prisoner is guilty.

Asiat.Jour.N. S. VOL. 12. No.47.

Sentence.-The court having found the prisoner "guilty to the extent above stated, and considering such behaviour to be to the "prejudice of good order and military discipline," doth sentence Lim, the said Lieut. D. Birley, of the 27th regt. N.I., to be reprimanded in such manner as his Exc. the Commander-in-chief may see fit to point out.

(Signed) E. M. G. SHOWERS, Lt. col. Horse brigade, president. The court begs to remark that, although it has found the prisoner "guilty" of the second charge, yet, considering the peculiarity of the circumstances under which he availed himself of the permission of the regimental surgeon, to take air and exercise, does not attach any culpability to the act of temporary absence from his quar

ters.

(Signed) E. M. G. SHOWERS, Lt.col. Horse brigade, president. Confirmed-and Lieut. Birley is hereby reprimanded accordingly.

(Signed) R. W. O'CALLAGHAN, Lieut. gen. and Com.-in-chief. Madras, 25th March 1833.

Lieut. Birley is to be released from arrest, and will return to his duty.

ENS. J. W. NOBLE.

Head-Quarters, Choultry Plain, March 25, 1833. The following extracts from the confirmed proceedings of an European general court-martial, holden at Cannanore, on the 8th March 1833, by virtue of a warrant from his Exc. Lieut. Gen, the Hon. Sir R. W. O'Callaghan, K.C.B., commander-in-chief, are published to the

army:

Ens. James William Noble, of the 20th regt, of N.I., placed in arrest by Lieut. William Shelly, of the same regiment, and charged by me:

Charge. With scandalous and infamous behaviour, such as is unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in the following instances.

First Instance.-In having at Cannanore, on the 25th of Jan. 1833, come up to me with his fists clenched, and shaking them in my face, dared me to call him a liar; at the same time threatening to knock me down...

Second InstanceIn having at the same time and place, said "if I lose my commission you shall lose your life," or words to the same effect; thereupon taking up a table-knife with intent to stab me therewith.

The above being in breach of the Articles of War.

(Signed) DASHWOOD STRETTELL, Lieut. 20th Regt. N.I.

Cannanore, 26th Jan, 1833.

The court having most maturely weighed and considered the whole of the evi(2 C)

dence, brought forward in support of the prosecution, as well as what the prisoner, Ens. J. W. Noble, of the 20th regt. of N.I., has urged in his defence, and the evidence in support thereof, is of opinion: Finding on the First Instance of the charge. That the prisoner is guilty.

Finding on the Second Instance of the charge. That the prisoner is guilty, with the exception of the words, "with intent to stab me therewith."

Sentence. The court, having found the prisoner guilty to the extent above stated, doth sentence him, the said Ens. J. W. Noble, of the 20th regt. of N.I., to be discharged from the service.

(Signed) J. H. SCHOEDDE, Lieut. Col.

H. M. 48th regt., president.

The court having performed their painful duty, with great respect, beg leave to recommend the case of Ens. Noble to the merciful consideration of his Exc. the Commander-in-chief, on account of the high character he has hitherto maintained. (Signed) J. H. SCHOEDDE, Lieut.Col. Confirmed.-As the court has awarded such punishment as the case required, these proceedings are not sent back for revision; but it is expedient to remark that the partial finding upon the second instance of charge involves an anomaly; inasmuch as the facts which have been found proved necessarily show the very intention of which the prisoner has been acquitted.

It is greatly to be regretted that the court, having by its judgment declared the prisoner unfit for an honorable service, should nevertheless have recommended his restoration thereto.

(Signed) R. W. O'CALLAGHAN, Lieut. Gen, and Com.-in-chief. Madras, 25th March 1833.

Mr. James William Noble will repair to the presidency, and place himself under the orders of the Town-major of Fort St. George.
