pointing the Court aud submitted to the Major-General
Commanding the Department, for his action thereon.
The Army Regulations require, that all persons of
whatever runk in the service observe respect towards
sentinels. Capt. Topianyl’s conduct is agguravated by
the fact, that he had no authority over ihe seutinelt*
and that the language he employed was such as no
f revocation could excuso in an officer and gentleman,
n consideration, however, of the zeal which Capt.
Toplanyi has shown in maintaining the discipline of
his command, the Commanding General allows him
an opportunity to retrieve his reputation, and miti
gates the sentence to forfeiture for six months of all
pay and allowances, except the allowance for one
ration.
