pointing the Court and submitted to the Major-General
Commanding the Department, for his action thereon.
The Army Regulations require, that ail persons of
whatever rank in the service observe respect towards
sentinels. Capt. Toplauyi’s conduct is aggravated by
the fact, that he had no authority over the sentinels,
and that the language he employed was such as no
provocation could excuse in an officer and gentleman.
In consideration, however, of the zeal which Capt.
Toplanyt has shown in maintaining the discipline of
his command, the Commanding General allows him
an opportunity to retrieve hts reputation, and miti
gatesthe sentence to 1 forfeiture for six mouths of all
pay and allowances, except the allowance for one
ration.
