At a General Court-martial held at Portsmouth,
on the 4th Septembrr, 1817, and continued by ad-
journments to the 22d of the same month, Lieure-
n ‘nt-Colorel Lis ALEN, of the 55th, or Westmore-
laud Regiment of Foot, was arraigned upon the
undermenti tied charges, viz. . . _

lat. Disobedience and evasion of a General Order of the 6th
V 2 vember, lute, by wilfully omitting to hiller' (ienvothstaading
fl9l directions given to the Regirneuts to attend there:o. and
which accord lig to appearance, was acted upon), in the usual
Return et Detaubeta ordered to be sent in "Denny,' the names
of certain men who bad been Defaulters, and of whom, several
as such, had been tried by Regimental Courts-martial, whereby,
parkularly between the months of March and April last, Major.
Genera Gayly was thwarted end prevented taking the steps be
nitwit have considered advisable an these internees, toward,
checking the system practised by Lieutenant-Colonel Alen, of
having recourse to Regimental Courts Martial for trivial offences ;
which system Major-Genera Ilayly had marked his disappruba-
Urea to, and depended 'minty on these Rotuma, to know to whet
extent it might be necessary for him further to interfere, either
by stopping the intended trials, overlooking the proceedings
before the "Interim were put intoeffer, or otherwise, the said
deviation of duty being prejuSitial to good Order ardialfflary
Discipline.
1111. For highly itnprdper.coodact; In !raving brought certain
Soldiers of the 55th Regiment before a l ourteMartial at tile
Drum Head, In April last, for fasces, Nut only committed two
days previous to trail, but ltmler her drcomstanoes net besog
oat a nature to call fur such a summary modeof proceeding, which
Was the lees osemeary, from the fact of the Orderly Room being
*nail, a new yards of the place of trial, where. and in which
place, the evidence might and ought, agreeably to the established
practice of the service, to have been taken In writing; among
I which Courts-Martial, one charge bears no date of the climes
the prisoner 14 charged with, and several of the sentences were.
nut put into . &a will one day after the tea), though the neces-
sity of example was considered so pressing by Lieutenant-Colooel
Amin ;—also giving as a reason on the occasion of these Cow ts-
Martial, that part of the said prisoners were tried in the above
hasty and unusual manner (known only under circumstances of
the must mutinous, insubordinate, or urgent nature) merely
beeaute aa opportunity thereby offered for him to have a clear
Guard House. Use said arbitrary and irregular manlier of pro-
ceediug, being hurtful to the service, oppressive to tire sold.cr,
and prejudicial to good order and military discipline.
3d. I,tir disobedience of Orders givtn. after the arrival of the
55th Regiment at Guernsey, but more particulasly those of the
30th January last, by quartering a considerably greater number
of men in wort George barracks, (limited re three hundred by
the barrack Regulaton.) than that plate was intended to con-
tain, which occasioned a representation of the irregularity thereof
from the Beira& Board. 'I he said disregard to orders subket-
ing the Service to much inconvenience, being an improper ex •
ample to the Itegiment, and in every point unmilitary.
u run which Charges the Court came to the fol-
lowing decision:
The Court having very maturely considered the whole of the
Evidexce which has been produced by Major-General Wyly us
the part of the prp.ecution, as well as by Lieutcnaut-Colonel
Alen on his defence' are of opinion as follows a
Iliac with regard to the first Charge, he (lieutenant Colonel
Alen) is Guilty of omitting the names of certain men, proved
not to bays been returned in the daily Returns of Defaulters,
whereby the intention of the Major-general commanding, in giv-
ing out the order te the 6th November; 1816, was ia a degree
frustrated ;—but the omission appeals to the Court to have pro-
ceeded from a very enormous idea, that he was not called opou
to include hi the said returns, names of men confined by order of
Staff officers or min ale Were dinfined, tried, and their sen-
tences Carried Into execution, between the hoofs prescribed for
sending in the returns in question, rather than from an inteetion
of wditelly distibeylog that order:*
" The Court are of opinion, that
Guilty of the second charge:*
And in retard to the 3d Chair, the Court find I.leutenan
Colonel Alen Guilty thereof, but from an error of judgment, in
supposing that the Orders extended to the Barracks only, with-
out Loch...beg the botnbproefs and other actonamodatlons in Fort
George.
Tire Cum% have not taken into their consideration the chenm-
stance of the Order nf the 30th January, having been inserted in
the ad Charge, Instead of the 31st of that month, the mistake
appearing to have been merely e clerical error.
'nit Court having found the prisoner Lieutenant Colonel Alen,
of the 55th Regiment, Guilty, to the extent aforesaid, being a
breach of the Articles of War, do in eonsemieece sentence him
(Lieutenant Colonel Alen) to be priced Twelve Months lower
ya else list of Unmeant Colonels of the Army, and, further to
be reprimanded and admonished In such manner 'as his Royal'
kibitzes.* the ?race Regent shall be pleased to direct.
'1 he Prince Regent has been pleased, in the name and oe the
What tit his Majesty, to approve nod confirm the finding and
sentence of the Court, and to command, that the reprimand and
admonition shall be carried Into effect in team conducive to the
interest and benefit of the service.
His Royal Highness has, at the same dateline plissed to take
lute coosideration, that the well-bang o: the melee may be
materially involved by the continuance of an Offset in the Com-
mand of a Regiment, whose conduct in that responsible and Ins
port ant capacity, has bee. found deserving of tie sentence ad-
judged, and the rsprisnaud and sdniciattion that has foloweil—
which, though called for by theoffecce, yrould in Ass Mess maim
the coulldente of the Officers and nieu in did* eared
lepton the face of. that controtd over thdr seeing, Is
essential to the maintenance of good order sod ilfielpilne-
• Upon these grounds it has appeared to Ms Rept Higbee%
that the continuance of lieutenant Carmel Aug in the NNW,
nand of the 55th Regiment, is inconsistent with. tbearates ell
Ithat clops r—Lis Royal Highness has therefore Wei pisassi to,

Mr. Bunaows-then addressed the Court in behalf
of the prisoner, and called a number of witnesses in
exculpation.
Mr. MeNawr replied for the prosecution, after which
Judge May delivered a mcst minute and luminous
charge to the Jury. His Lordship occupied upwards
of an hour and an halt in recapitulating the evidence
on both sides ; and referring to that of Mr. O'Cona

dency of the doctrines which he, O'Connor, held, his
disbelief in Divine Revelation. and in the mission of
