arid regulations of the Articles of War.
Upon which charges the Court came to the following deci-
sion, viz.—
The Court, after having duly weighed the whole of the evi-
dence adduced by the prosecutor, as well as what the prisoner
urged in his defence, are of opinion that he, Benick Sirdar, is
guilty of both the charges preferred against him by Brevet
Major J. A. Biggs, of the Royal Horse Artillery Brigade, and
therefore sentence him to receive 500 lashes in the usual man-
ner, at such time and place as his Excellency the Commander-
in-Chief may think most proper,—the foregoing sentence on its
being approved of, and signed by the Commander-in-Chief.—
It was farther ordered, that the punishment awarded.by the
General Court Martial against Benick Sirdar, the prisoner,
was to be inflicted in such proportion, and at such periods of
time, as the Officer commanding the Nerbuddah field force
might think proper, under the advice of a Medical Gentleman.
