• Upon which charges the Court came to the follow-
ing decision
The Court- having Maturely weighed and • con-
sidered the evidence produced against the prisoner,
Paymaster Joint Lawrou, together with what he
'bath proved.md illedged.in his defence ; and having
also carefully examined and investigated the several
Ateounts and Docutnents produced on each side, is
of opinion as follows s •
As eto the first 'and mond charges, although no
satisfactoty evidence. has been offered SO the Court to.
she* the particular dinner in which the prisoner,
Paymaster ions 1.11,Wf011, has applied the two Bills
of £l5OO and AGO% mentioned in these two charges,
to as to enable the Court to determine on their specie
and Specific appropriation; yet it has been clearly
prcived*that these two Bills of •41500 and 4$0(), to.,
gather with other Bilh, were received by the.prisonerl
to be applied in Payment of, the Officers and Metro.
the Bourbon Regimen; and that after making ever)►
fair and just allowance, 'there is a balance-of 41583.
Ss. 104 d. sterling unaccounted for by the prisoner,
and now doe from him to the Officers and Men of
that RegiMent,•for Pay and Allowances ; and on a
full consideration of all the circumstances. which bath
appeared in. evidence on these two charges, the Court
is of opinion that the prisoner has• fraudulently
applied that sum of 81,665..55. laid. and-doth fiadl
ham GUILTY accordingly,- .
W ith respect to the third charge, the Court is of
opinion, that the prisoner has fraudulently misapplied
the sum of 4279., • 104. Sd. sterling, and which he
was entrusted with by she Paymasters of awls!)
and 87th Regiments. • • • .
. _
With respect to the fourth charge, the Caartakell
opinion, that thesune has nut been proved, and at.,.
quits the prisoner thereof.
With respect to the fifth charge, inasmuch as the
prosecutor has declined to give. any evidence upon',
this charge, the prisoner stands acquitted thereof.
The Court having found the prisoner. Paymaster),
1914 N Lawton, guilty of the first, second, and third
charges. in breach of the Mutiny Act. and Articles of

mind Air Majesty's Service; that he is incapable of

the two sums of £1583. Si. Hid. and e 1279. 18s. Sd.
making together the sum of 41863.45. lid. sterling,
so fraudulently misapplied by him. •
In as much as the prisoner has charged the sum-of
£157. 171. 101jd. as .a , credit against the Bourbon
Regiment, for the loss on a Bill of £lO9O, which he
negociated'at the Cape of Good Hope,- and. which
the Court has not included in the sum of $1863. 41.
lid. as having best fraudulently Misapplied by hint,
yet theCeurt conceives that the prisoner has no right
charge that sum against the Regiment, and thal
be ought not to be allowed it as -against the Regi.;
meat, and therefore.now charges him with the said
tom of 511157. t7s. addition to the sum of
A 1863. 4s. tid. but thesCourt at the same time re:
Commends and submits, that, the prisoner in the Gsi‘:
