the uniform good character of the accused, and the
conflicting testimony of the witnesses for the prosecu
tion.
11. The findings In the ca.e of Private Benson, are
approved. Private Benson, will be released from ar
rest and restored to duty.
In the case cf Sergeant Alberts, the finding on the
f n.tti specification is dis ,pproved. The findings on
all tne oiher specifications and the charge are approv
ed. The sentence is confirmed aud will lie executed.
in the rase ot Littlt. Hawkes, the findings on the
flr-t charge aud its first specification, and on the second
charge and its specification arc approved, Ibe find,
iugs c the second, tuirrt und fourth specifications of
the first charge are disapproved. The Commanding
General cannot bat think, that the Court has been ul
dnly iefiuenced by the degraded character of the
offeade s : who have been placed in the iron collar at
Beaufort an. uno has not sufficiently considered, that
ic concerns the hOaor of the service, that no want of
sympathy for the suffeieis should cause the introduc
tion of such ii practices to be overlooked.
Ail pumsbmei ts, eularly those inflicted without
sanction,sh. uld be strictly confined to those authorised
0\ the customs o, tuu service. It need not he said
that the punishment indicted at Beaufort jail is not
among these, and is more su.ted to the old use of the
jaii a* u slave pen, than to a military prison of die
United States. Besides no officer ordering a puui-h
uieut should, by his autwive language or conduct, give
reason to suppose that person ,! feeling influences his
proceeding. If tie does, tne punishment loses all good
{■fleet anu becomes h source of positive evil. But
