mluuicious publication of u military roster
''At the same time, while congratuiating the
court OH performing its duty with decision and
zeal as military tribunal. the MAJOR General
Commanding cannot bnt.entertan the conyic-
ton that the greatest difference separates the
civilian from the soldier in his ideas of pToprie-
~ or culpability, and in his nowledge Of duty
in matters purely military.
"The circumstance OF sioyalty' and want of
bad intent conspires to mitigate the crime of
the accused in the mind of the authority re-
viewing the sentence.
s1he sentence in the case of d. Turner is re-
mited under the conviction that his energies

practitioners before them 10 take the same oath
OF allegiance administered by Judge Garter in
his court.
