COURT-MARTIALS IN INDlA.—Lieutenan t James Tur-
ner Harris, of the 17th Native Infantry, having recently
been tried by court-martial at Delhi, for drawing bills
of exchange on a bank in which he had no funds, and
which were subsequently dishonoured, was found guilty
and sentenced by the court to be " severely repri-
manded, and to lose three steps in regimental rank."
The commander-in-chief, Sir W. Gomm, requested the
court to revise their decision, but as they " begged re-
spectfully to adhere to their original sentence," the
commander-in-chief has appended to the minutes the
following remarks :—" The commander-in-chief has
confirmed the sentence passed by the court, but it is
one which his Excellency cannot approve, considering
it to be altogether inadequate to the serious offences of
which Lieutenant Harris has been justly convicted. In
awarding this sentence, the court have declared to the
army their deliberate opinion that it is a compara-
tively venial offence in one of their body to draw Bills of
Exchange upon a bank in which he has no funds, and to
allow these bills to remain unpaid. His Excellency en-
tirely differs from the court ; and in publishing these
proceedings, wishes to remind the army, that honour
the
of the service to which they belong is mainly in their
.own keeping. Such discreditable proceedings as these
in which Lieut. Harris is proved to have been engaged
are happily of rare occurrence amongst
to officers ;

when charges of this complexion are p
faction cf a court-martial, the interests
,of the army
would be best consulted in. his Excellency s apthion,-l-y
.the offender a more 'parked. and_ decicle4.
punishment than has been awarded in the present case,"
