Priem& James Hay, of the said detachment, without the previous

of the 16th section of the Articles of War.

4. For highly unoflicerhlte conduct when ii command of a de-
tachment of the 91st Regiment at Montego Ray, in having carried
Into execution, on the lgth of March, 1921, in part (amounting to
the reduction and infliction of 100 lashes) of the sentence of a De-
tachment Court Martial, held by his ord,ra, awarding reduction
to the state of a private, and 150 lashes, to Corporal Matthew
Quinn, of the said detachment, without the previous approval of
his Commanding Of although be. Captain Robert Gresley
Leers, wan also the President of the said Detachment Court Mar •
till; such conduct being a direct violation of the 14th and ISth
articles of the 16th section of the Articles of War.

Upon which charges the Cant came to the following decision—
The Court having attentively beard, engirded, and most delibe-
rately weighed and considered the whole of the evidence produced
in support of the charges against CaptaioLevi Greeley Layers,
of the 91st Regiment, together wkb the prisoner's skfence, and
what be has brought forward in support thereof, is of oplides as
follows, els,
With respect to the Bret charge, that he, the prisoner, Captain
Robert Greeley Lavers, of the 91 a Regiment, le Guilty.
With respect to the second charge, that be, the prisoner. Captain
Robert Greeley Lavers, of the 9lst Regiment, is Guilty.
The Court having found the prisoner, Captain Ruben Greeley
Levers, of the 91st Regiment. Guilty of both the charges brought
*gains/ him, which being a direct violation of the Articles of War.
does sentence him, the prisoner, Captain Robert Greeley Lavers,
of the •Ist Regiment, to be plated at the bottom of the rank of
Captains in the 91st Regiment.
The Court having met, pursuant to adjournment, the President
laid before the Court the following letter, received from Major
General Sir Jour Kamix, commanding the Farces=

" Head-quarters, May 1, 1114.
aw—l bays read with attention the proceedings enclused.Which ,
I return herewith.. The Court baying found Captain Lavers
Guilty of both charges, and pronouncing them a direct violation of
the Articles of War, I feel bound to call upon the Court to recon-
sider their award.
" I therefore desire the Court will revise its sentence.
" I have, &c. •
(Signed) "JOHN KEANE,
M. General Commanding.
" To Lent. Colonel Moffat, President of Court Martial."
The Court proceeded again to deliberate on the foregoing opinion.
delivered by them, and atter attentively reconsidering the. same.
does now sentence him (the prisoner), Captain Ruben Greeley
Lavers, of the Met Regiment, to be cashiered his Majesty's service.'
" The Court, having now fulfilled its very painful duty, in pass J-1
log that sentence upon an old Meer, which a violation of the
Articles of War requires, cannot close its proceedings without
taking into consideration the long and painful services of Captain
Lavers,' period of 114 years, many of which on actual service—his
having fallen into error from a misconstruction of his Commanding
Officer's directions—his actions having been solely with a view of
preserving the discipline and order of his company, and an over-
WILSPUII seal for the good of the aervice, under peculiar circum-
ptanees—and unanimously recommend hint to Ms Majesty's most
gracious clemency and consideration." •
ills Majesty. has been pleased to approve and confirm the finding
and sentence of the Court ; but in consideration of the recent-
mendation of the Court, of the long service of the prisoner, and
of the feet that the offence of which he has been found guilty may
be ascribed to his anxiety tei check disorder, and to misapprehen-
sion of the verbal directions which had been given to him by his
Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Sutherland, his Majesty
was further most graciously pleased to extend his clemency to the
prieonei • nut, however. without a suitable admonition; which
should make: Captain layers duly sensible of his Majesty's dis-
pleasure on an occasion in which service, however maltoritins,
and seal, however remarkable, cannot justify ignorance of his Ma-
*at's Regulations, indeed the principles by wlrch hit Itiajesty's
Army is governed. •
