dtaayGoten3eirsayl, Court-Martial assembled at Bombay, on the
4th
jesty's 17th Light Dragoons, late Political Agent at Kishme,
and Commanding Officer of the Troops stationed on that
island, was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, viz.:-
Ist. " For disobedience of orders, in having, between the
22d of October and 17th of November, 1820, rashly and with-
out due consideration, undertaken an expedition into the interior
of Arabia, in direct contradiction to the general tenor of the
powers vested in him as Political Agent, and particularly to
the instructions communicated to him in the letter of the Chief
Secretary of Government, dated the Bth June, 1821."
2d. ". For neglect of duty in having marched from Belad
Beni Bu Hassan to attack Belad Beni Beeali on'the 9th Nov.
1820, without taking the necessary Military precautions,. al-
though he well knew that the enemy were in force in his front,
and in having. on the march permitted in the most negligent
and unofficerflike manner the detachment under his command to
be attacked, unformed and unprepared, which led to its being en-
tire_ly defeated, with the loss of its guns, stores, and baggage."
3d. " For neglect of duty in having during the said affair
on the 9th of November, 1820, been deficient in personal exer-
tion, and in not having done his utmost to repulse and defeat
the enemy on that occasion."
4th. " For disgraceful conduct, unbecoming the character of
an officer, in having addressed an Official Report to the Chief
Secretary of Government, dated the 18th of November, 1820,
and to the Adjutant-General of the Army under the same date,:
in which he unjustly and without foundation ascribed his de-
feat, in the said affair of the 9th of November, 1820, to the mis-
behaviour before the enemy on that day of the officers and men
who composed the detachment under his command."
Upon which charges the Court came to the following deci-
sion :
Finding and Sentence.—The Court hiving maturely weighed
and considered all that has been adduced in support of the pro-
secution, as well as what has been brought forward on the de-
fence, came to the following opinion on. the respective charges
preferred against the prisoner, Captain T. P. Thompson,• of his
Majesty's 17th Light Dragoons
" That the prisoner is not guilty of the Ist charge, except in
as far as the Court are of opinion that the expedition into the
interior of Arabia was undertaken rashly, on account of the
smallness of the detachment : and they do therefore acquit him
of every other part of the said charge. .
" That the prisoner is not guilty of the second charge, and-,
' the Court do therefore honourably acquit him of the same.
" That the prisoner is not guilty of the id charge, and the
Court do therefore honourably acquit him of the.same.
" With regard to the 4th charge, diet the prisoner is guilty
of having 'addressed an Official to the Chief Secretary to Go-
vernment, dated the 18th November, 1820, and to the
Adjutant-General of the Army, under the Sal-he date, in- which
he unjustly and -iithout foundation ascribed his defeat in fthe
said affair of the 9th of Nov. 1820, to the misbehaviour be ore
the:enemy on that, data the officers and men who. compose
the detachment under his 'command. But the CoUrt are at the
same h
same time of opinion, that this report proceeded from erroneous

tOnclusiOns., theY dO therefore hiiii
conduct, unbecoming an officer.
" The Court having found the prisOtter guilty. as 4ove spe.
cified, do therefore adjudge him the said Capt. T. P. 'Ataiiipion
to be publicly reprimanded, in such manner. a 4 hiS. Excellency'
the Commander in Chief may think proper."
Revised Opinion.—The Court having taken into mature de-
liberation the preceding letter of his Excellency the Cantnitti-
der-in-Chiet, feel themselves nevertheless bthind to adheie. to
their original finding and sentence.
