Quintin adequate to the degree of blame which attached to him, the Court do nut feel themselven i called upon to give any sentence upon this charge in the way of further punishment, and they consider that any thing unusual in this determination will be explained by the singularity of the cir cumstances attending this charge, by which an (loiter is pn' upoir his trial tur conduct, which had before been the subject of animad version by those under whose command he Was then serving, hat which at - the time was not considered deserving of a more seriona proceeding by the Commander of the forces ; nor does it appear to . have been uncle sett. snhject of any remonstrance or request for a more serious investigations on the part of the Officers ut the regi ment. The Court having found the prisoner guilty of so much of the first charge, as is above expressed, and so much of the fourth charge as is above recited, with the reasons which in•lnce the Court to feel that they are not called upon to affix any punishment to the last mentioned charge, do only adjudge, with reference to the first charge, that ColonelQuintiu be reprimanded in such moaner as his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief he pleased to direct. The Court, 'however, cannot conclude these proceediugs without expressing their regret, that there appears to have existed such want of co-operation among the Officers of the regiment, as to ren der the deities of the Commanding Officer much-num arduous than they otherwise would have been. 1 am to acquaint you, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased, in the name and on the behalf of,.his Majesty, to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of ,the Court. His Royal Highness has further been pleased to cons o ler, that, -allot the Officers of a cot ps prefer accusatios tiffecting the houour and professional character of their Commander, nothing but - the most conclusive proof of theit charges before a Court Martial can justify a proceediog which !mist otherwise be so pregnant with mis chief to the (Useipline of the army; and that a regard din: to the snhortlination of the service must ever attach a severe responsiVity to subortlin.ste otii , ..ers. who become the accusers of their siiveriot: Isis Royal lushnes s alterefore, conk', net but regret, that the oth. errs of the loth hussars should have been so unmindful of what they tare to the first prineiples 01 their profession, as to assume an °pis tilon of tle.ir Commander'a personal emalttet, which thither their geoeral experienee nt the service, nor their knowledge of the al.
