EAST INDIAN COURTS MARTIAL.

Head-quarters, Camp Bogie, 19th March, 1828.
GENERAL ORDERS.
At a General Court Martial, held at Balgaum, on the 3d day of
January 1828, and continued by adjournments to the 29th of the
sante month, Lieutenant Josiah Eyre. Deere, of his Majesty's 41st
Regiment of Foot, was arraigned on the following charge, viz.—
" For placing himself, in a state of intoxication, at a gate of the
Palace of Kolapore, on the 17th October 1827, and there, forgetful
of the liberality which should distinguish a British Officer towards
a fallen Prince, using a demeanour and language highly insulting
to the Rajah of that country and his people; particularly, in apply-
ing lo hint the word • Banchoot. Such conduct.endangering the
public peace, and being highly unbecoming an Officer and a Gen.
tkman, and to the prejudice of toed order and military discipline."
Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision :
" The Court having most maturely weighed afid considered the
whole of the evidence brought forward in support of the prosecu-
tion; as well as what the prisoner, Lieutenant Josiah Eyles Deere.
-of his Majesty's 41st Regiment, bath urged in his defence, and the
evidence in support thereof, is of opinion—
.. That the prisoner is guilty of placing himself at the gate of the
Palace of Kulapore on the 17th October, 1827 ; anal there, forget.
tel of the liberality which should distinguish a British Officer
towards a fallen Prince, using a demeanour and language highly
insulting to the Rajah of that country and his people ; particularly
in applying to him the wnrd • Banchoot.' Such conduct endan-
gering the public peace, and being highly unbecoming the character
of an Officer, and to the prejudice of the good order and military
discipline; but the Court is of opinion that the prisoner is not guilty
of any other part of the charge."
The Court having found the prisoner guilty to the extent above
stated, doth sentence him, the said Lieut. Josiah Kyles Deere, of
his Majesty's 41st Regiment, to lose tw• steps in his regiment, by
bring placed immediately below the two Lieutenants who at pre-
sent stand next to Mm, and having his commission in his Majesty's
41st Regiment dated one day after the date of the regimental com-
mission of Lieut. John Smith, of the same regiment.
Approved and confirmed,
(Signed) G. T. WALKER, Lieut. Gen..
The Court have recommended the prisoner en account of his
bravery. This quality unaccompanied with the generosity which
should be the' characteristic of the British soldier towards the un-
tortunate, can entitle him to little credit with the Lieutenant-Gen.
and so little has the prisoner known the value of the latter, that
trot satisfied with being simply reprimanded by the officer in con►
nand, for the gross conduct of which he has been now convicted,
but, as if doubting of a proper feeling existing elsewhere, he him-
self called for, and dared the sentence of a Court Martial. It is
necessary then, when men are not endowed with proper feeling,
that they be taught, at least to respect public opinion. This sen-
tence must be carried into execution. and though lenient, it is to be
hoped it will be sufficient to mark what is expected from a British
officer. (Signed) G. T. WALKER. Licut.-G..n.
The prisoner, Lieut. Deere, is to be released front arrest, and
will return In his duty.
The foregoing Order is to be entered in the General Order
Book, and read at the head of every Regiment in his Majesty's
service in India.

• CALCUTTA.
Head Quarters, Camp near Kburur, April 1.
At an Fairopeat‘ General Court Martial assembled at Meerut,
on the 17th of January, 18e8, of which Lieutenant Colonel F. A.
Western, late of the 35th Regiment, now of the 14th Regiment
Native Infantry, is President, Captain George Brydges Plantage-
net Field, of the 274 Regiment Native Infantry, was arraigned on
,the fit:lowing charges—
. Ist. "In having, in a letter dated the 16th of July, 1827, to the
address of Lieutenant and Adjutant Holmes, of the 234 Regiment
of Native Infantry, falsely stated as follows—' In the first Com-
mittee that sit, my opinion was just as you have stated, not en-
titled unless on the Burmese side of the Naaf river, but Captains
Dunlop and Platt thought otherwise, and carried it against me
and in having further falsely stated in the sante letter, lam sorry
if there was any mistake in the former statement, but it was really
not my fault, as you will perceive by the above account of the
Committee.'
" In having, in a letter dated the 25th of July, 1827, to the
• address of Lieutenant and Adjutant Holmes, of the 23d Regiment
of Native Infantry, falsely stated as follows—' When I was Presi-
dent of the Committee for investigating the claims to pensions,
Captain Dunlop and Lieutenant Platt were members, when the
former lacer. in total rejection of my advice, insisted that the fa-
milks of those men who died on their return to Calcutta were en-
titled to the pension. I pointed out the regimental order was very
shout, clear, and concise; and that it was only those who died on
the, Burmese bide of the Naaf River whose families were entitled
to receive the pension ; but Captain Dunlop thought the General
Orders meant otherwise, and therefore superseded the regimental
one, iu which opinion, I am sorry to say, Lieutenant Plan sided
with; by which means I was overruled, and the statements of
some natives taken that I do not think would be admitted to the
pensinn.'
Whereas, upon the occasion referred to in each of the letters
voted in the foregoing counts, Captain Field did not make any
objection or explanation of the nature alluded to by him, and did
not express his disapproval for the reasons assigned by him, of any
of the claims allowed by Captain Dunlop and Lieutenant Platt,
nor did he, in forwarding the Reports of the Committee (bearing
hie own signature as President) to the head-quarters of the Itegi-
. meat, submit any remark indicative of his dissent from the
members.
" Such false statements as set forth in the foregoing counts,
having been wilfully advanced by Captain Field fur the dishonour-
able purpose of exonerating himself front censure to which he was
justly obnoxious, by falsely and maliciously attributing the whole
blame to Captain Dunlop and Lieutenant Platt."
Upon which charges the Court came to the following decision:
" The Court having duly weighed and considered the evidence
for the prosecution, and what bath been urged by prisoner in his
defence, do find him, Captain G. B. P. Field, of the 234 Regiment
Native Infantry, guilty of the whole of the charges exhibited against
him, with the exception of the word maliciously' in the con-
cluding averment of the charges, of which word they acquit hint.
• " The Court having found the prisoner Guilty of conduct unbe-
coming the character of an Officer and a Gentleman, in having
made false statements for the dishonourable purpose of exonerating
himself from censute to which he was justly obnoxious, by falsely
attributing the whole blame to Captain Dunlop and Lieutenant
Plat, u specified in the charges, do adjudge him, Captain George
Brydges Plantagenet Field, of the 234 Regiment Native Infantry,
to be discharged from the service."
Approved and confirmed,

General, Commander-in. Chief.
