ment Native Infantry, was arraigned upon the under-mentioned
charges, viz.:—
For pursuing a systematic course of disobedience of orders
and neglect of duty from the period of his joining the battalion
at Ilarrackpore, in February, 1821, to the present date, and par-
ticularly in the following instances.
Ist, In absenting himself from his duty and statteiiwithout
permission on the 15th and 16th of .June, 1821, notwithstanding
similar instances of irregularity had been pointed out to him-on
previous occasions, which he had promised should not again
occur. _

2nd, In totally absenting himself from and neglecting all
battalion duties from the 26th December, 1822, to the 14th
February, 1823, without furnishing a medical certificate, or as-
signing a sufficient reason for such absence ; his general habits
and conduct during that interval being such as to afford grourAds
to suppose that his alleged plea of indisposition was not found-
ed on- fact. _ _ _

ad, In persevering in the same course of neglect and diso-
bedience between the 14th and 26th February last,. although
officially informed that the medical officer who had been di-
rected to visit him had declared him fit for duty, and that his
commanding-officer expressly required his future attendance at
parades; which communication remained totally unnoticed and
disregarded.
4th, In absenting himself from his corps and station from
the 26th to the 28th of, Februazy last, without leave, in oppo-
sition to the frequent admonitions of his commanding officer,
and in violation of his own repeated promises.
sth, In continuing the same line of conduct from the 28th of
February to the present date, notwithstanding a written pledge
given by Mtn to :Vlajor-General Dalzell on the 11th of March
promising amendment; such contumacious neglect of duty not
being attributable to ill health, a special medical committee di-
rected to report on his case having declared him fit for the per-
formance of every duty.
6th, In not complying with battalion orders of 19th of March
last, directing him to deliver over the 6th battalion company to
Ensign Smith, until a second order was issued some days after.
7th, In absenting himself from his corps and company at
muter on the Ist of the present month (May), this being the
second time of such absence from muster. _

Bth, For general neglect of duty as Captain 9f a company, i
net personally attending to the internal discipline and good or
der of two companies under his immediate charge from the
time of his joining the battalion, such conduct being subversive
of good order and military discipline, detrimental to the ser-
vice, and in breach of the articles of war.

mare, Ist battalion, 10th Regiment Native Infantry:—
