ARTICLES OF WAR.-REDRESS.-
DUELLING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In the House of Commons, a few evenings since, Sir
Henry. Hardinge stated that an officer in the army, having
been insulted by being charged with a dishonourable act,
who did not call for "redress," was liable to be called to a
Court-martial and cashiered. Sir Henry Hardinge went on
to explain that the word " redress " did not mean challenging
the offender to a duel, but demanding a Court-martial on
ethe offender;—if a
leuging e u p
usrtc3h be h. t
oa
duelte case,md could
not seekingh
an
obedience btyo-
the articles of war—but who ever heard of a party who had
challenged a person who had insulted him, having been
brought to a Court •martial for not having sought "redress "
according to . the definition which Sir Henry Hardinge is
pleased to put on the word " redress ?" Has it not, there-
fore, been universally understood in the army that the ar-
ticle of war has been complied with, by challenging the
party to a duel, as a Court-martial has never been demanded
in such a case ? Has not the usual construction of the word
" redress " in the articles of war, tended to promote duelling,
by the Offended party being morally certain that if lie did
not break the articles of war by sending the challenge, he
himself would be brought to a Court-martial and cashiered
for not seeking- "redress," and if he did break the articles of
war by sending a challenge, he would not be brought to a
Court-martial for either offence—viz., not seeking " redress'
according to Sir hlenry Hardinge's definition of the word, or
sending the challenge? Is it not. notorious that, by the
offending party sending the challenge, the articles of war
' have been considered as having been fulfilled to the spirit,
as far as.the word- "redress" is concerned? •
I hope that, since Sir Henry Hardinge has made the de-
claration that the word " redress" means seeking a Court-
martial, that you will be careful to notice-the next-duel that
occurs, in which an officer in the army is concerned, and that
you will remind him (Sir Henry Hardinge) that, although
the party offended has taken the law into his own -hands, a
Court-martial should be held on-him for disobedience of the
articlei of war, not simply for sending the challenge,_ but, for
not seeking "redress" by demanding a Court-martial.—l am,
Sir, yours obediently, • ANTI-DUEL.
Ilfracombe, March 14, 1844.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —THE LORD MAYOR AND
HOLLOWAY'S PINS AND OINTMENT. -Tames Stanley, a
gentleman's servant, residing at Long Ditt,on, made an affi-
davit at the Mansion-house (which his Lordship signed) to the
effect that he (Stanley) had twenty-six holes in one leg and
fourteen in the other, and that he had- been so afflicted for
two years and a half, and lately could only move by the use
of crutches ; and from this state he made oath he has been
miraculously cured by Holloway's-Pills. and Ointment, after
a host of surgeons and one hospital had failed to give him
relief. Professor Holloway dispenses advice gratis at his Es-
tablishment, 244, Strand.—These remedies are sold there, and
also by most respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the
civilized world.
