Upon which Charges the Court came to the fol lowing decision : Court having maturely weighed and cott. sidered the evidence adduced on the part. of the prosecution, as well as what -has been offered to defence, are of opinion that ColOnel Quentin ,is, Guilty of so much of the First Charge as imputes to . him having neglected his duty as Commanding Officer on, the 10th of Jaguary, ), by Mewing souse of the divisions without prders- when uttuckt , d by the .enony, but acquit him of the remainder of the Charge, " With respect to the Second Chare - , - the, Court are of opinion that Colonel Quentin is Not Guilty." With respect . ,to the Third charge, the _Court are of opinion tivat Culoi,el Quentin is Not Guilty." " respect-to the Fourth Clirge;theCourt' are of opinion that a relaxed discipline, asset, forth in that. Charge;did exist in the regithentud der Colonel Quentin's command, whiFst on foreign service - , during the period alluded to in the is and orders, referred to in the Charge, mu( as they cannot but con •icier the Commanding Officer of regiment to be responsible tor such, reiax:ition'of discipline, they therefore think• themselVes bOand to find Colonel Quentin guilty to °the extent of ul7: lowing it to exiqt, but as they consider the letter from the Adjutant-General to . the troops - on the : Continent, of March' 30, 1814, expresSitig thedis:= pleasure of the commander of the Forces, as are,. primand to Cul. Quentin aclegnate to the degree of blame Which attached to him, the Court do not feel themselves called upon to give any 'sentence upon this Charge. in the way of further punish ment, and they consider, that any thing unusual in' this determination will be , expiainod by the sin ofthe circumstances attending this Charge,• by. which an Officer is pin on , thisrtrial fur Con clue, which bad before been the sithject'of. atti madver,:ion by those tinder whose command he was then serving, but which at the time was not considered deserving of a more serious proceeding by. the Commander of the Forces ; nor does it ap pear to have been made the subject of any remon 7 stranee or request fur a more serious investigation on the part of -the Officers of the regiment." ".I:fie Court having fOund the Prisoner _Guilty of so touch of the First Cliarc, as is 'above ex pressed, arid so ITIUCtI of the,Fourth Charge is is above recited, with the reasons which ihdiwe the Court. to feel they are not called upon to affix any punishment to the last mentioned ch a rge,d o only adji,clge, %vitt) retereuce to the First Charge, that Cokik.' Quentin be reprimanded in such Manner as his Royal Highness the Commander an Quiet' shall he pleased to direct."• The Court; however, cannot conclude these proceedings without expressing their regret, that, there appears to have existed such a ►•ant of co- Operation among the Officers of the regiment, as to render the duties of, the Commanding Or;leer much more arduous tha►► they otherwise would have been,,, ram to acquaint you, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been -pleased, in the 'Janie and on the behalf of his Maiesty, to approve and confirm the finding and Sentence of the Court. His Royal Highness has further been pleased to consider, that, when the Officers of a corps prefer accusations affecting the honour and pro feasional character of their .Commander, nothing but the most conclusive proof of their charges,be rore a Court Martial, can justify a pro ceding which must otherwise be so pregnant with ins chief to the discipline of the artily ; .and - that a re, (Yard due to the subordination of the service must ever attach a severe responsibility to subordinate Officers, who become the accusers of• their supe rior ! His Royal Highness therefore could not but regret, that the Officers of the 10th Hussars should have been so unmindful of what they owe to the first principles of their - profession,. as to . assume an opinion of their COMlnander's personal' conduct,. which. neither their general experience of the service, nor their knowledge of the al leged facts (as appears from their own evidence) could sanction or' justify-ated which opinion would appear from the proceedings, to have been utterly void of foundation, in every instance of implied attack or insinuation, upon that Officer's:. courage and 'conduct before the enemy, as con-, veyed by the tenor . ' of the second and third. Charges. InAuion to letter signed by the chic( part of the Oflivers, and in which the present proceAtdings originated, the Prince Regent has .oecially observed, that, exclusive of the. doubt kVhi"cl► May'he entertained of their capability. to' foraya judgment, so much beyond the scope - of their experience in the service, it was' ►corthy of remark, chat some who have affixell,theinmme* to that paper, , had never 'been ivith the4e - ginfelit (iktriu 4 ' the , pei•itul ia question, ant!otliei.s had' • never joined attymilitary body beyond. rbel. depot of :their corps ; 'and it might thus he deduced, that altlion•_;it the 'Officers have Avail - eked; ae cording to the appropria • remark or the Court-. :Martial, a .want of co-operation in ,suppqrt of , theiP couitOnder's:anthortty,,yet thO§e had . assumed a personal qbservation of Colonel Quen till'S conduct, 'and those who,. though absent,. ap pe:fr to have acted under a mischievous influence, by joining in an - opinion to hi's prejudice have all co-operated in •.a compact against their Coinutand; ing:Officer, fraught with evils of th e most riuus tenfleticy to the discipline of the ;service ; , nor e§cape. the notice of Rol t4l OM this accusation ha s no t b een ifte.;ine. 2 mentary olFspriug of irritatecl':feelings,* but the deliberate issue ola long.a.nd extraordinary delay, for which rio , sufficient ,reasons .or explanation have been assigned,' to this view of the case (which is not palliated by the very slight censure, passed . -on Colonel Quentin upon the lst Charge). his Royal High • nesa has considered, that a mark of Lis displeasure towards tboSe Officers is essential to the vital in- - terests of. the army ; and. that the nature of the combination. against Co). Queiitiu, Would call for. the removal from the service of. those who have joined init; but as his Royal Highness would willingly be, guided by a lenient disposition to ;.- wards a•corps of.. Officers. who have hitherto me rited his approbation, and would willit„dy believe that inifdvertency insane, and inexperience in others, had left them unaware of the mischievous tendency of their conduct upon this occasion, his R. H. averse to adopt sac(' severe measures as the cus, tom of the service, in support of its usually sanctions, upon the . failiire. ; a. charges against a Commanding Officer still it is essential . that conduct so _injurious_ in its nature,-, should be held forth to the. Army as a warning in.sup- port of subordination,' and his Royal Highness has therefore commanded that the Officers .who signed the letter of the 2dAngnst, shail.noionger act together as a corps, but that they , shall be dis tributed. by exchange throughout thc.ditferent.re, giinents of cavalry in _the service, where,, it. is trusted, that they will learn and-confine themselves, to their subordinate their services-, auii experitioce•shall sanction their being. placed in ranks aid situations, where they may..hk . .al.i . lowed to jntige of the general and ihigher,.civties; of t lie . profession. . .
