COURT-MARTIAL.-MUTINY AND ATTEMPT
AT MURDER.

Another Court-martial has been held in Chatham Barracks,
for the trial of Private Matthew Quin, of the 3d Regiment of
Foot, or Buffs, who was arraigned on the following charges :-
1. For disobedience of orders when on St. Mary's Guard,
in Chatham Garrison, in refusing to take off his accoutrements
preparatory to being made a prisoner for misconduct, when
ordered to do so by Sergeant William Godman, of the Royal
Marines, commander of the said guard, on the before-mentioned
date, and for making use of highly insubordinate expressions
on the same occasion to the said Sergeant William Godman,
when in the execution of his duty.
2. For, after having been made a prisoner, as stated in the
first charge, seizing his firelock from the arm-rack, and for
being with his pouch open, and his hand upon the ammuni-
tion, in the act of preparing to load his firelock with ball car-
tridge for evil purposes ; his design being corroborated by the
circumstance of his having previously said in his barrack room,
immediately on the occasion of the recent murder of a sergeant
of the 50th Regiment, who was shot by a prisoner of the same
corps in the garrison, " That it served the sergeant right;
that he wished it had been some of the officers that had been
shot ; and that he would never leave the garrison till he had
shot some one himself;" or words to that effect.
3. For outrageous conduct when detected in the act speci-
fied in the second charge, in refusing to surrender his fire-lock
when ordered to do so by Sergeant William Godman, and for
making use of abusive and threatening expressions on the same
occasion to the said Sergeant William Godman, and to the
other non-commissioned officers of the guard in question, when
in the execution of their duty.
The Court having found the prisoner Guilty of the whole
of the three charges preferred against him, which being a
breach of the Articles of War, does therefore sentence him the
said prisoner, Private Matthew Quin, of the 3d Regiment of
Foot, or Buffs, to be transported as a felon for the term of his
natural life.

The General Commanding-in-Chief having laid the pro-
ceedings before the King, his Majesty was pleased to approve
and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court, and to
command that the prisoner be accordingly transported to New
South Wales.
