For unofficerlike and ungentlemaiilike conduct In hay-

c Majesty's 87th Regiment, his Superior Office+, more es against Major
parti-
cularlyßrowne,
in the following instances, viz.—ln stating in his letter
to the late Lieut-Col. Miller, •'lfurther conceived myself most
shamefully and unjustly persecuted by Major Browne, he having
some timem 1821, in an unauthorized meeting of the officers of
the Regiment, endeavoured to prove that I had literally swindled
him out of the price of a horse, rupees 1,200 ;" and in the paper
addressed to his Excellency the commander-in-Chief, as
follows:_-" What has been Major Browne's motive for con-
tinued and unprovoked persecution since this unfortunate racing
transaction, I cannot imagine for his behaviour before that
period was that of the most marked kindness. From the begin-
ning of this transaction to the present period, nothing but my
utter ruin could have been contemplated."
2d. For insubordinate and unofficerlike conduct in arraigning
the conduct of his Commanding-officer, in a letter addressed to
the late Lieut.-Col. Miller, commanding 87th Regiment, under
date Ghazeepore 14th of January, 1823, in having stated as

you, as my Commanding-officer, have received the above-men-
tioned papers, and have allowed to my prejudice to be
read to you by Major Browne, without being acquainted with
any of the previous transactions of either cases, and formed
your opinion of my conduct front these papers and letters, and
did not give me an opportunity of confuting them by informing
me what had taken place ;" such conduct, or any part thereof,
being in breach of the articles of war.

Ghazeepore, July 6, 1823.
Upon which charges the Court came to the following deci-
sion :

Finding.—The Court having maturely weighed anti consi-
dered the evidence for and against the prisoner, together with
what he has urged in his defence, is of opinion that he is Guilty
of both the charges preferred against hint, which being in
breach of the Articles of War, it does sentence him, Lieute-
nant John Shipp, of his Majesty's 87th Itegisnent, to be dis-
charged his Majesty's service.
Approved and confirmed,
(Signed) EDWARD PAGET, Gen., Commander-in-Chief.
The Court having performed a painful but imperative duty
in finding the prisoner Guilty, beg respectfully, though ear-
nestly, to recommend him to the clemency of his Excellency the
Commander-in-Chief. In presuming to express a wish that
mercy may be extended to the present case, die Court are im-
pressed with a hope, that the gallantry so frequently displayed
by' the prisoner, the numerous wounds he has received, and the
high and apparently merited character which he has hitherto
borne, will appear to his Excellency sufficient grounds for the
Court's thus warmly interesting themselves in the prisoner's
fate, and urging with anxious solicitude the present recom.
rnendation. _

Before closing their proceedings, the Court deem it a justice
due to Lieutenant-Colonel Browne, to express their opinion,
that his conduct, as far as it has come before them, ha: been
honourable to himself, and indulgent towards the prisoner.
Remarks by the Commander-in-Chief.
Lieutenant Shipp has thus, by his persevering resistance to
the advice of his late most respected Commanding Officer, of
the General of his Division, and of the Commander-in-Chief,
brought upon himself the heavy penalty of the forfeiture of
his commission. Although these are circumstances calculated
greatly to aggravate the offences of this officer, still the Corn-
mander-in-Chief is willing to hope, that in yielding as far as
he feels, it is consistent with his duty, to the earnest interces-
sion of the Court, he runs no risk of shaking the foundations of
discipline and subordination. The sentence of the Court is
accordingly remitted ; but, as under all the circumstances of
the case, the Commander-in-Chief deems it quite impossible
that Lieutenant Shipp should continue to do duty with the 87th
regiment, he grants him leave of absence from it, and shall re-
commend that he be removed to the half-pay list.
The foregoing orders to be entered in the General Order
Book, and read at the bead of every regiment in his Majesty's
service 'in India.
By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief,

CAUTION TO PARENTS—On Sunday evening
last, as a gentleman was driving along Hamp-
stead-road, he unfortunately ran over a little girl
about two years old, and broke her leg in a very
shocking manner, and one of the wheels of the
gig went over her neck. The crowd that as.
sembled evinced a disposition to ill-use the gen.
tleman, but the interference of some persons re-
siding in the neighbourhood prevented them.—
It seems there was no. blame whatever to be at-
tached to him ; for at the moment of the unfor-
tunate occureuce, his attention was directed to
some other children on the opposite side of the
gig, all of whom had been playing together in
tha road just before the accident.
