charge.— For repeatedly being guilty of dis.
obedience of .Orders, exciting Mtitiny, being
Mutinous, by refusing to march with their Com.
vary when ordered, and advising other men to do
the s,ine.
C,lPriiatrirnd Seam, of the Court.— After ma-
ture ibe ration on the whole evidence adduced on
the part of the Prosecutibij, as well as what the.Pri.
loners have stated •in their defence, and the evi.
define they have adduced in support c,f it, the. Court
are of opinion, •that the, •first :part.of the charge,
vtz..P Repeated disobedience of Orders, in refusing,
to march," has :been: proved against both the Psi.:

sutlers. • • •
0,, the. second part of the. Charge, viz. Ex.
citing muohy," they are of (Onion, that. Bruce is
nut guilty.
With respe6t to,Macdonald, although it does not
appear to them that the origiri of the Mutiny is. to
he attributed to him, or to any premeditated deign
on hid part, yet he appear to the Court, on mote
than (me occasion, to have taken the lead in diS

obed fence.
The court, therefor., being of opinion, that the
Prisoners James Bruce, and Donald. Macd:mald,
have been guilty of a breach of the Articles of War,
do sentence James Bruce to receive five hundred
lashex, and Ronald Micdutudil to receive eight hun-
dred lashes, at
.such time at.d place as Qeneral the
of Mci R A sh,ll claret%
A 4, however,. there appears to the Court a pos_
sibiliiy, that, from the Regiment being neither
;arlotheittror armed, they, utay- not have supposed
themselves sulijea to the same implicit military sub.
mission as if the Regiment had heen regularly or-
ganized ; and as per laps some allowances may be
made for the bewildered state of mind •into which
many of the Merl, and the Prisoners itt particular,
had heG.t thrown, by the distress or sicknes of their
families, which last -circumstance appears to have
been t.,e. sole cause of their remaining behind their
Coin, any on the zBth of August, the Court beg
leave to rt.c.:•mmend them to mercy, •
