Revised Finding. With much deference to the opinion of the Commander-in-Chief, the court beg to observe, with regard to their finding, that it appears, the prisoner broke from his escort voilently struck his superior officer, Sergeant Fitzgerald, threat ening, that he would take his life, and declaring, that the ser geant was the whole canse of his being in so much trouble.' The act, therefore, in the opinion of the court was one of extreme in subordination directed against Sergeant Fitzgerald, intentionally in his capacity of the prisoner's superior officer, whose vigilance on duty had caused him annoyance, and it appears to the court to bear a highly mutinous tendency, short only of the actual offence of mutiny by the circumstance of the sergeant not having been on duty at the time. The conrt therefore repectfully adhere to their finding.

REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.

nature of the prisoner's offence, and as to the punishment he
deserves, and I would gladly have approved the first sentence

I cannot assent to the distinction the court desire to draw be-
tween mutiny and mutinous conduct, and therefore I am of opi
nion, that the court has erred in adhering to its original flading.
