Head-Quarters, Colombo, Feb. 16, 1846.
The Head-Quarter Division of the 90th Light Infantry
will embark at daylight to-morrow, on board the trans-
port-ship Mariner, for England.
After a service of ten years in Ceylon, the Lieutenant-
General commanding the forces, deems it duo to this ex-
cellent corps to record in the general orders of this
command the sense he entertains of the discipline and
good conduct which, with few exceptions, have charac-
terised the 90th during the five years it has served under
the orders of his Excellency.
His Excellency offers to Captain Eld his best thanks
for his zealous exertions since he assumed the command,
and to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and
soldiers, of the 90th Light Infantry his sincere wishes
for their future welfare and success.

In confirming the proceedings of the general court
martial, the Lieutent-General commanding the forces
feels it to be incumbent upon him to notice some unusual
circumstances which have transpired in the course
of the examination of the first and indeed the prin-
cipal witness in support of the prosecution. This
witness, who was the senior officer on board the
Mariner transport at the time, deposes that Captain
Capel was very much intoxicated on the night of the 26th
of November, 1845. Such being his opinion, his line
of duty was clear • he should have placed that officer im-
mediately in arrest, and relieved him from the duty of
captain of the day, but instead of adopting this regular
and usual proceeding, he admitted that he made no re-
port against Captain Capel to Major Cuthbert until the
28th, permitting Captain Capel in the interval to go on
shore, under the impression that there was nothing
against him. It is true that the witness in question offers
reasons for having allowed such an interval to elapse, and
for the course he was induced to adopt. Although the
Lieutenant-General is willing to give every considera-
tion to the motives assigned for his forbearance, his
Excellency deems them insufficient to justify a departure
from the rules and practice of her Majesty's service.
'The Lieutenant-General cannot clove these observations
better than by. endeavouring to • press upon the minds
of officers the importance ofthelsmtrictest circumspection
being observed when employedie upon any duty, and
should be most careful not to themselves. in a posi-
tion where any doubt could be entertained for one mo-
performing any duty that
Lent of their being capable of
alight be required.

Finding.—The Court, having duly and deliberately
weighed and considered the evidence in support of the
prosecution, together with what the r risoner, Captain
Daniel Capel, of the 15th Regiment of Foot, has offered
in his defence, is of opinion that the prisoner, Captain
Vautel CPI) of the 19th Regiment of Foot, is n

guilty of the charge preferred against him, and does,
therefore, acquit him thereof.
