was

A. Brooke of his office of a judge of the Provincial Court of Appeal for the division of Benares, Mr. Brooke continuing to retain charge of the office of agent to the Governor-general at Benares. On the occasion of Mr. Brooke's resignation of his judicial functions, his Lordship in Council deems it incumbent upon him to express the high sense he entertains of his official character. During a period of more than sixty years' excellent service, Mr. Brooke has enjoyed the uninterrupted approbation of the Government, and he has earned the respect and affection of the whole community, both European and native.

COURT-MARTIAL,

ASSIST. SURGEON C. GRIFFITHS.

Head-Quarters, Calcutta, April 15, 1833. At a European General CourtMartial, held at Cawnpore on the 15th March 1833, of which Col. F. J. T. Johnston, of the 8th L. C. was president, Assist. Surg. Charles Griffiths, late of the 70th N.I, was arraigned on the following charge:

Charge." Assist. Surg. Charles Griffiths, late of the 70th regt. N.I., placed in arrest by order of his Exc. the Commander-in-chief, on the following charge: "Having, in contempt of military order and subordination, addressed to Captain Douglas, deputy assistant adjutant general of the Saugor division of the a army, letter dated the 1st Jan. 1833, containing assertions regarding Lieut, Col. Aubert, com. manding the 70th regiment, his late com. manding officer, which are false and groundless, and injurious and degrading to the character of Lieut. Col. Aubert."

Upon which charge the court came to the following decision :

Finding and Sentence." The court is of opinion that the prisoner is guilty of the whole charge alleged against him, and sentences him to be suspended from rank and pay for the period of six months." Approved and confirmed, (Signed) E. BARNES, Commander-in-chief.

The Commander-in-chief remarks, that much irrelevant matter has been intro

duced into the proceedings on the trial of Mr. Assist. Surg. Griffiths.

However necessary it may have been to go into evidence to prove the fact of a want of confidence on the part of the mar. ried officers of the 70th N.I. in Mr. Griffiths' professional abilities, it was not correct in the court (and it was the court itself that forced the inquiry) to enter into an examination of Mr. Griffiths' skill and practice, thereby making themselves judges of the same, in order to determine whether there were or not sufficient grounds for such want of confidence.

The evidence of Serg. Major Walton ought not to have been permitted, as it related to a fact totally unconnected with the case before the court, and to a circumstance which took place in 1830, which is two years before Mr. Griffiths's complaint against his commanding officer of alarming patients in hospital by his inquiries after their health; and the fact of Serg. Major Walton being alarmed by the kindness of Lieut. Col. Aubert, in recommending him, when ill with fever, to go out into the district for change of air, and offering him a tent and elephant for his accommodation, is altogether absurd. But the court was still more in error in allowing Mr. Griffiths to introduce such language as the following extract exhibits, into his defence, viz. "Can Colonel Aubert deny that he attempted to practise a very unwarrantable experiment upon the Sergeant Major? I think not: and his artfully omitting to inform me of his own part in this transaction shows he was aware that his conduct was not what it ought to have been. I aver that he is chargeable with duplicity."

Much indulgence is always allowed to a prisoner in making his defence, but he should be restrained from using unbecoming language, and advancing actual charges in the course thereof.

There are many other parts of Mr. Griffith's defence highly objectionable, and which ought to have been put a stop to by the court.

The suspension from rank and pay of Assist. Surg. Griffiths is to commence from the date on which this order may be published at Cawnpore.
