Court-Martial Hours.

THE CURIOUS REASON WHY THE COURTS ARR
OBLIGED TO ADJOURN AT THREE O'CLOCK.
An amendment to the army appropriation bill
recently passed by the House chang the present
law, which requires courts-martial to adjourn at
p. m daily except In time Of war. so as to allow
the court to fix It's hours. The law as it stands
imposes great burden on officers who are de-
talled on cOurtmartial and are obliged when
away from home to pay their expenses without
extra compensation. Col Asa Bird Gardiner
Judge advocate of the Swain court-martial In q
letter to memberOf the House OF Represe natives
gives the following curious and interesting state
ment as TO the original reason for fixing the limit
OF daily sessions at q. m:
InlS limitation has come into our statutes from
Cne BritlSh articles OF war, In force in 175 which
our continental Congress adopted for our army. 1t
took its rise In the nrst mutiny act first William
ana Mary, cap 81 enacted by parliament in 1859.
IN Wnlch, by section TO- such proceedings OF trials
could only be held 'betWee7 the hours of In the
morning and in the afternoon The reason of
tnis Was because O'Clock p. m. was the fashion,
aDe dining hour, and no English officer or private
gentleman was expected to be sober after that
nour. Later, the fashionable dining hour became
. O'Clock during the reign OF the earlier Georges
and the time for sessions of the court was ex,
tended 10 that hour. The American revolution
came on when that was the hour, and our Com
gresses, down to and including the Revised Stat

cauon IL contains. while In the British service 1t
