Disapproved. (Signed) COMBEEMEItF., General, Commander-in-Chief. auto Res IT THE RIGHT HRH. came. The Ceniniander-in-Chief has disapproved the proceedings of this General Court Martial. the finding and sentence being unwise. ranted by the evidence adduced. On the Ist charge, the evidence of the woman was certainly Ha l* to suspicion, hut to a certain client her statements were corro borated, and in his Lordship's view of the ease, the virtual acquittal of the prisoners should not have followed. The 2d charge, his Lordship is of opinion, was established by the , evidence, yet the Court have pronounced a full acquittal; timegia the prisoners were not identified as the actual perpetrators of the assault on the police officer' while in the execution of their duty, the fact of their having been present with a party committing that, illegal act was proved • they therefore partook in the guilt of the assault. which was at le ast unbecoming the character of Officers. The 3d charge is also, to his Excellency's conviction, estalsibhed by the evidence; yet Ensign Anderson is fully acquitted, and Lieutenant Burnett panially. Though the sntenee of the Court is not adequate even to the offences of which the prisoner. Lieutenant Burnett, has been found guilty. his Excellency will not order the revision of the proceedings, as.he is sorry to obseree that there were so many Officers impli cated in the matters which have been investigated, that some almost equally Mameable would benefit, should the Court, en a fe e-ion, .ward a proper degree of punishment—the loss of rank. His Excellency therefore directs, that the proceedings of this Court Martial, with his Lordship's sentiments thereon, may be read in presence of alt the Officers of the station, and that Lieut. Burnett and Ensign Anderson may then be released from ursit, with w suitable admonition for their future conduct. By order of his Excellency the Comnsander•in•Chief, • C. FA GA N.

His Lordship must remark, that any violation of respect oar to the Civil Authority must ever incur his severest displeasure, as snihtating against every principle of military discipline; and be trusts that the Members of the Court were not guided in passin g their sentence by an impresario that. the offence was of a venial ',Mere, hut rather (though improperly) were led away, by motives of compassion to the individual, to forget, in some degree, what was due to the army at large. is respect of the clinic, of which Lieutenant Dunbar has keen found gushy, his Excellency desires that it may be borne in mind, that au Officer, in giving an illegal or unwarrantable order, must ever he held responsible rue aU results that may ensue therefrom, ahhough the per.oos so instructed may exceed his orders to. au within wheels may not have been contemplated.
