HORSE-GUARDS, Dec. 2.

At a General Court-martial held at Gibraltar,
on the 3d of- July, 1816; and continued by ad-
journments to the 13th of the same month, Sur-
geon Thomas Moore, M.'D. of the 11th Regi-
ment of •Foot, was tried upon the following
charges, viz.:--
Ist. For disobedience of a regimental. order, hearing date
the-1 Ith of June, let 6, and for preventing the Assistant Sur-
geon; of the regiment complying With the same, by directing
them to refer to him whenever they were required to com-
ply with it „thereby tithing upon himself the ,sole responsibi-
lity of disobeying that 'order, and preventing its brine carried
into effect by them, and for virtually setting the order of his
Conimauding Officer at defiance, in an Official correspondence
which took place in consequence, and persisting in his dis-
obedience, to the prejudice of the service, good order and mi-
litary discipline, and contrary to the Articles of NVar.
id For disobedience of orders in not sending in the daily
sick report of men of, the 1I th regiment in hospital, before
ten o'clock on the morning of the irit 11 June, MG, and when
called by letter to assign a cause for such disobedience, bar-
ing caused an evasive letter to be written by As3istant-Surgeon
l)ix, stating, that the report was wit hheldin 'consequence of
the orderly-corporal who had been in the habit of carrying it
to the orderly-room having been removed, thongh at the same ,
time he transmitted a letter to his commanding officer early
enough to be laid before him on that morning, with the daily
reports of the regiment, and by which conveyance the daily
sick. report might have been forwarded ; such evasion bewg
nnbrenining,the conauct of an officer the mode of conveying
the evasive reply a violation of the respect due to command,
highly ininborttinatu and prejudicial to the service, and con-
•trary to the Articles of War.
Upon which charges. the Court creme-to theinl;
lowing deciSion •
" The Court having maturely weighed and con-
sidered all the circumstances of the case as well
on the part of the prosecution as on, that of the
prisoner, is of opinion as io the first charge, that
the prisoner, Surgeon Thomas' Moore, M. D. is
guilty ; as to the second charge, that the prisoner,
surgeon Thomas Moore, M.D. is guilty, of so
much thereof -tss states for disobedience of guilty,
in not sending in the daily report of the men of
the llth regiment in hospital before ten o'clock
on the morning of the 25th of Jane, 11316 ; and
further, that the mode of conveying the reply to
his comthanding officer was inlation of the re•-
spect due to tommaml, and prejudicial to the see-
vice ; but with regard to the remainder of the
charge as stated, the Cmirt is of opinion that the
prisoner, Surgeon Thomas Moore, M. b, is not
guilty.
" The Court having thus found the prisoner
guilty of the whole of the first charge, and of so
much of the second charge as is 'above stated, the
sentence of the- Court is, and the Court does
hereby adjudge, that the prisoner, Surgeon Thos.
Moore, M.D. of the 11th regiment of foot, shall
lose two years of his rank in the army, and shall
fut thee he most severely and publicly reprimanded
for his conduct; in suds manner as to his Excel-
lency the Lieutenant-Governor of Gibraltar shall
seem fit."

Which sentence appears to have been approved
by General Don, commanding at Gibraltar.
His Royal, Highness the Commander-in-Chief
directs, that the foregoing charges preferred
against Surgeon Thomas Moore, M.D. of the
11 t h regiment of foot, together with the. finding
and sentence of the Court, shall be entered in the

every regiment in his Majesty's service.

so ranch only of the sentence as altindg,es the pri-
soner to be cashiered ; the Court -not being au-
thorised to adjudge the remaining part of the sen-
tence, for the crime of which be, Lieut. Heath,
has been convicted.
