such conduct being a breach of the 23rd Article of War ;
secondly, that he did, on or about the 27th of July, when
on the orlop dealt of the seine ship, violently resist being
r
ftczlsin irons by Quartermaster Hodges and Co
, such being a breach of the 16th Article of War.
The facts of the case are es follows :—.Prisoner was released
from Portsmouth Gaol on the 24th July, after having un-
dergone nine months' imprisoonieut for cutting and wound-
ing. A complaint was made on the 27th July by Commander
Bonham that prisoner was drunk and noisy on the lower
deck. Commander Bonham ordered him in irons, ou which
prisoner advanced towards that officer, as if to strike him,
but his arms were caught by Corporal Barnes. When taken
below prisoner refused to be placed in irons and struck
Barnes with his foot in the mouth. Prisoner also struck
Corporal Hill with a cane in the temple and threw
his shoe at Master-at-Arms Hodges, striking him
on the bead. He also bit Hill's badge off his arm.
Several witnesses gave corroborative evidence. Pri-

drunkenness in extenuation of his conduct. The court
found both charges proved, and sentenced prisoner to be
imprisoned and kept to hard labour at Winchester Gaol for
twelve months, and then to be dismissed her Majesty's
