Eocordlng Couduct and Character of Soldier of Permanent

388. The guiding principle in examining a soldier's conduct informotion
siieets with a view to assessing his character, is to differentiate to bo s'nen in
between a maa's character as a soldier and his character as a "="'^^"'0-
man. *^^^- **"^-
Tho main object of giving a soldier a certificate cf character
is to assist him in obtaining eniploymoat in civil life, and tho
certificate should be so worded that employers of labour can
readily estimate the true worth of tho man. In addition to
recording his character, the certificate should contain any in-
formation whi eh would shoiv what qualification a man passessea
as regards cirilian employment, e.g., 'Hhoroughly sober and
reliable"; "accustomed to the care of horses and a good
groom"; "a good clerk, painstaking and industrious"; also,
if desired by the soldier, *^wife (here Btate Christian name in
full) is a fair, good, ver^ good (washerwoman, needlewoman,
&e.)"; or any other special qualifications which a woman may
possess.
™.„Tf.J^.iirhS" ""^ ^^attgements for providing civil employ- „,ii,imy
mont tor a discharged soldier must, m & great measure, depend oi 0.0. whoa
upon the manner in which the character of a man Is estimated. ncordinK
If men recommended as of "good' character are found to be*'*,",*",*"'"*' **'
untrustworthy or unsteady, the confidence of employers of la- Cau? 888
hour will not be gained. On ttie other hand, if, on account of
comparatively trifling irregularities of a purely military nature,
a man is refused a good character, his stibsequent career in civil
life may be injuriously affected. The lesponsibilityj therefore,
of a CO. in this respect is very great, and his special attentioii
is directed to the subjeet.
390* To ensure uniformity in estimating and recording a Tarms to be
man's character while serving, or on discharge, tho following "*ed when
terms will be etrictly adhered to: — recording
(i.) Exemplary,
(ii.) Vo

ciwes whero the character recorded is < * indifforent, " "bad/'
or '*vory bad," the xcaBon for recording such a character will
bo briefly stated in the ''Proceedings on DiBchF.rge,"'the man's
conduct as a soldier being separated as much as pcsaibl© from
his character as a man, tor example — (i) **condT:et indiffer-
ent, has been guilty of frequent acts cf absence, bat is smart,
willing, and hardworking"; (ii) "conduct indifferent, has be'en
addicted to drink, but is % smart soldier and respectful to his
oBacers^'j jiii) "conduct bad, has been guilty of desertion, but
lias proved a gallant soldier in the field.'* In cases whore the
character is racorded as f«ir, or upwards, the CO. will supple-
ntent it (when in the soldier's interest) by the words: —
(a) No offence in whole service of years;
or,
(b) No offence during tho last years;
and (where applicable)
No instance of drunkenness in whole service of
years.
Any such particulars that can be truthfully recorded in
favour of the soldier should also be inserted in his eortificate
cf character, but tho reason for assessing the character as in-
different, badj &c,, is not to bo inserted in the corti£cate,
392. An "exemplary'* character is the highest that can bo
given to any soldier, and is to be given only to a man whoso
for m exflm- jg^iod of service has enabled his conduct to be thoroughly test-
Eiary charac- ^^ ^^ .^ ^^ ^^ reserved, therefore, for a man who has served
for at least six years, who has not incurred more than the fol-
lowing number of entries in tho regimental conduct sheet, and

When a soldier has become eligible for the award of an ex-

On the receipt of every such report the officer to whom appli-
cation for trifll will be submitted is to satisfy himself as to
the necessity for the continuance of sich person in military
custody.
443. Military custody in the case of an officer, warrant offi-

au officer, warrant officer^ or N.C.O., may, if circumstances re-
quire it, bo placed for custody under the charge of a guard,
piquet, patrol, or sentry, or of a provost-marshal.
444. Arrest is either closu arrest or open arrest. "V^^hen arrest
is not described as open arrest, it means close arrest. Au officer
under close arrest is not to leave his quarters or tent except lo
take such cxoreise under supervision as the Medical Officer con-
siders necessarT. When under open arrest ho may take exercise
at stated periods within defined Umits, which will usually be
the precincts of the barracks or camp of his unit; ttiese limits
may be enlarged at the discretion of the Offieer Ccmnianding
on the spot. An officer under open arrest may^ uider strict
oriers as to his conduct, be directed to proceed from one station
to another, or bo permitted to leave his station for a particular
purpose.
445. An officea* under opeoi arroet ia not to use iiis own or

never to appear outsitle hie quarters or tent dressed otherwise
than in uniform. An officer when under arrest will not wear
sash, swore], belt, or spurs.
446. It is not desirable, except when it appears that the
arrest has beeii made throngh error, that an officer should be
released from arrest by the officer who ordered the airest, with-
out the sanction of the highest authority to whom the case may
have been referred.
447. An officer may be placed under arrest by a competent
authority, witlout previous investigation, when circumstances
80 require; but a 0.0. on receiving a complaint, or learning of
circumstances tending to incriminate an officer, will not ordin-
arily place him under arrest until he has satisfied himself by
iuijuiry that it will bo necessary to proceed with the case, and
report it to superior authority. He will invariably place under
arrest an officer against whom he prefers charges. When an
oJBcer is placed under arrest, whether afterwards leleased or
not, the CO. ytlii report the case without delay to tUe General
or other senior officer resfonsible for discipline under whoso

height, age, &c., at the time of his absenting himself, and the
fullest information possible. When there is good ground for
supposing an absentee to have deserted, the report should be
rendered within 24 hours after his absence has beeji discovered,
but in no case should it be delayed beyond five days. Up to
21 days the man should not be returned as a doeerter, unless
there is ground for supposing that he has desertei. After 2.1
Jays every absentee without leave sliould, pendiig inveetiga-
tion, be considered as a deserter. In the case of a recruit who
absconds on route to join, a note shoild be made of this fact '
on the repoit.

his number, name, corps and date and place of absenting him-
aelf, and will ascertain, by telegram if necessary, whether the
confession is true. If the confession is true, the CO. will, if
the man is a de>*ertor, apply to the man's unit for an escort to
be sent to conduct him back to his corps, and wilt detain him
in military custody, pendiug the arrival of the escort; or, if an

imprisonment or detention to the CO. «f his former corps, who
vrill arrange f[>r the removal of the man at the expiration of his
suutonce. The relegation to the former corps will take effect
from the date of committal.
505. The CO of the unit to which a soldior may ho relegated,
or, if the relegation bo not ordered, the CO. of the unit in
which the soldie^r is serving, will comiiiunicato to any units in
which sucli soldier may have jjreviously served, tie result of
the trial, or tie manner in wliich his case has been disposed of.
506. The regulations laid down in ijaras. 507 to 51 a will be
observed in respect of an escort despatched for deserters, which
will invariably take with it the route issued for the journey.
507. When a notification is received that a person appre-
hended on suspicion of being a deserter has been committed
U prison to await an escort, a CO. will, where the man named
18 traced as being illegally absent, and evidence as to identity
ie available, despatch an escort (consisting if possible of sol-
diors eapablo *f idejitlfyin^ tlio deaertor) to bring the dosertw

as a deserter or absentee {nut an absconded recruit) from the
unit, despatch flh escort with a view to the alleged deserter
being, if identifed, taken over at the court, instead of being
committed to piison; if an escort can be sent so a^ to be at
the court before the case is disposed of, the police ahotild bs

a d<}serter, or absentee without leave, will be provided with
an order for the removal of the man. The order wiU be given
up to the governor, magistrate, police officer, or chief officer of
the prison. When a "deserter route" is issued, this order,
which forms part of it, will be detached aad similarly given up

be has been guilty of fraudulent enlistment (Sec. 13 of the
Army Act), and it is not considef^ed desirable that th» soldior
should be tried for his offence, application will be made to the
D.O.O. in, or under, whose command the soldier is serving, who
may dispense with the soldier's trial by Eourt-martial for de-
sertion or fraudulent enlistment, and mak« an order as to for-

I General Instructloiis.
521. Under the Army Aet, the jurisdictioii of counts-martial juriBdiction.
in respect of tike trial of ditfcrent offenses is unrestricted, and Can. 453.
it will be observed that, except whero a particular course is
prescribed by the regulations, it is not imperative to try any
ofience by court-martial.
622. A superior officer to whom a case is referred may deal P«wer of
with it as follows:— XVr
(i.) He may refer the case to a superior officer; or Oan. 454.
(ii.) He may direct the disposal of the case summarilyi
or by R.O.M,; or
(iii.) If he has power to convene a D.C.M., ho may con-
veae a D.C.H. lo try it; or
(iv.) If he has the power to conv^ene a G.C.M., he may
eoAvene either a G.C.M. or i D.C.M, to try it.
623. The oiUcer referred to in para. 522 as a "superior
officer,'' is not more clearly defined, as his position and rank
depend upon the varying conditions of service. It rests with
tha Militia Council to determine to wliom charges should be
referred which should not be disposed of without reference to
higher authority.
When the superior offieor is the CO. of the accused or an
officer who has investigated the case, he cannot eaerciso the
powers detailed in para. 622 (ii) to (iv) inclusive.
624. When an officer to whom a charge is submitted is of
opinion that delay is inexpedient, he may dispose of the case
without any roference to higher authority. , In such case he
must immediately report his action, and his reasons for it^ to
tho officer to whom he would otherwise have referred the case.
626. If a soldier has beea tried by an inferior court without
the authority herein prescribed, the valijity of the proceedings
is not affecteil therebyi nnd the coaviction, if otherwise
sustainable, will hold good (see para. ^12).
626. In deciding as to the description of court before which
a charge shall be tried* geaeral and other officers iu superior
command will bear in mind that there are few offences which
cannot effectually be dealt with by D.CM. In cases^ however,
of very aggravated offences, when the etate of discipline in a
district, garrison, or corps, tenders a serious example expedient,
or when the olfender bears a bad character, a G.C.K. may be
convened.
527, When a soldier is to be tried for an offence in relation
to enlistment, the particulars of his character and of former
convictions when serving under previous attestations will be
obtained, both for the information of the convening officer
and for the purpose of being given in evidence before the
court-martial. Civil convictions for offences while in a state
of absence or ^«sertio<n should be given in evidence after the
finding. Trial should not be unduly delayed if difficulty occurs
in procuring documeiuta, in relation to any previous service,
wliich can be dispeneed with.

523. In tho case of offences against a superior, an ofifen«e
having relation to tlie office teld bj the superior is of greater
gravity than an offence against the individual apart from the
duties of his office, and^ especially in the less serious classes
of this offanee, tho lonrer tho rank of the tuperior officer
against whom the offence is committed, the lees will usually
be tho gravity of the offence.
529. Any oOieor oi soldier who, when in tho prosenee
.of the enemy, displays a white flag or other symbol in
anticipatioa, or in tokea, of surrender, will bo tiiod by G.G.M.
In cases whore the ovidance is not Buffieiont to justify a charge
under Sections 4 or 5 of tho Army Act, the charge will bo laid
under Section 40 of that Act.
630. Theft from a comrade should, unless there are pa-
culiarly complicated circumstances, be dealt with by court-
martial in preference to trial by the civil power, and the
charge is to be framed under Section 18 (4) Array Act. Where
there is no evidence of theft, and a soldier is charged with
improper possession of a comrade's property^ tha charge is to
bo laid under Section 40.
631. When a pay sergeant is uaable to account satisfaa-
torily for public monoy entrusted to him, and it is proposed to
try him by court-martial for an offence involving fraud, under
Sections 17 or 18 of the Army Act, if there is ony reasonable
ground for believing: that the deficiency may Lave been the
result -of n&gligence only, an alternative charge under Section
40 of tho Army Act should be added to the charge sheet, the
particulars of which should contain the allegation that he so
negligently performed his duties as to cause a loss to the
public of ttie sum unaccounted for.
632. Applications foi District Courts-Martial are to be ae*
companied by a return showing the number of qualified
officers available to be detailed as members of the court.
If officers attached to the Permanent Porco for instruction
are detailed aa members of courts-martial, thej are entitlccl
to seniority according to their militia rank.
533. When an officer of the rank of captain is not avail-
ible as president of a b.C.M., the power of eonvening the
court should not be ejcercised except when sueli a course is
absolutely accessary, and when the case cannot convenientlj'
be referred to the Militia OouncU.
634. The proper autlority to convene a R.O.H. is the C.u.
of tho pere&n charged, and although an officer atIio is author-
ized to convene a G.C.M. or a D.O.M., or an officer in com-
mand of a mixed force, baa this power, ho should, when ha
orders a case to be disposed of by R.C.M., direct the CO. to
convene the court instead of couvcEing it himadf, unless tho
CO. is unable to form a court from the officers under his
command.
636. Jn framing charges for offences in the cases of sol-
diers employed in talcing care of hoisea and stables, it will bp
borne in mind that the sections of the Army Act referring to
sentries do not apply to "stablemen," which latter expression
applies only when the orders regarding the posting and relief'
of sentries are hot strictly carried out; but whea a soldier of
a stable guard or piquet is posted over horses oi otherwise as
100
a sentry, and is regularly relieved as such, he is to be regarded
in every respect as a sentry, notwithstanding that he may
have been posted witkout arms.
636. When a soldier is to be tried by court-martial for an Court-martlil
offence under Seotioii 13 of the Army Act, and the evidence '^^'^cSn^^MB
appears to disclose that by committing such offence he has
obtained a free kit to which he was not entitled, the words
** thereby obtaining a free kit, value " should be added
to the particulars of the charge^ the value being assessed
according to the Clothing Begulations. If the soldier is con*
victed of the offence^ the court, after satisfying themselves
that colnpensation for such free kiit is due to the public,
should invariably award a sentence of stoppages for the value
thereof as stated in the charge.
637. In framing charges under Section 24 of the Army Ast, Framing
the following rule will be observed: — charges under
In tho absence of evidence of aome positive act of pawn- ^'oan^^BS
^ing or selling arms, equipment, elothing, &;o.] a charge of
''making away with" should not be preferred. When, theie-
fore, articles of this description are found to be deficient
through the cutpabilit.r of a eoldiar under the above condi-
tions, it will be sufficient to prefer a charge u'nder Sub-section
(2).
638. Tho value of any article in respect of which it is de- Value to be
sired that the court shall sentence the offender to stoppages "^^'J?^ P^
should be stated in Ihe *' particulars " of tie charge aad * oan*." 470.
proved in evidence. This applies only to articles the value ' ' .
of which has to be made good to the public. Except as pio-
vided in para. 536, it wilt be unnecessary to set forth the
vahies of necessaries and personal clothing that are the pio-
perty of the soldier, tha specificatioa of which ii required only
to acquaint the soldier with the particular articles he is
charged with making sway with, or losing by legleet, and to
enable him to answer to tho charge. Any deficiency of neces-
saries and personal clothing (except as provided in ttie
Clothing Regulations for returned deserters) > his to be made
good by the soldier as a matter of account between him aad
his captain (subject to his right cf complaint under Section
43 of the Army Act).
639. A court-martial in passing sentence will not, except Can. 4T1.
as provided in para. 536, award stoppages in respect of
articles of necessaries and personal clething.
640. ThB values of articles of government property stated to be actual
in the particulars of a charge are to be the actual values, vatnes.
whenever such actual values can be accurately determined *'"- *^3.
according to regulation. When this computation cannot ho
effected, and values in excess of the sum subsequently found
to be required to make good tho expenses, Ioes, damage, or
destruction^ are necessiirily stated in the charge, and corres-
ponding deductions have been included in the sentence of the
court, regard must be had to proviso (b) of Section 138 of
the Army Act in making the deductions from the soldier's
pay. Clothing,

642. In all cases of fraud, the charge and summarf of 6vt-
denue will be submitted to the Judge-Advocate-Genenl before
trial is ordered.
This does not lipply to simple cases of theft,
643. Every cEiarge preferred against an officer oi soldier,
und the circumstances on wlich it is founded, are to be care-
fully oxaciiucd by the ofllcei under whose authority the order
for trial is issuod, and the Qvidcnee shoald be in hii opinion
BufUcJont to justify the arraignment of the accused before a
CO iit-mnrtift!. He must satifify himself that the charge is for
an offence under the Army Act, and properly framed ia accord-
ance with the Rules of Procedure and these Kegulationa,
644. When a soldier is to be arraigned on a serious charge,
and charges for minor offences, are pending against him, or
the circumstances of the serious offence disclose minor of-'
fences, tho convening ofBcer may use his discretion in striking
out any minor cffoucc, and directing that it shall not be pro-
ceciied with. Special provision is made for the case «f simple
drunkenness in para. 494< As a rule, a charge should not
be hrought to trial as an addition to a serious charge if It
would not otherwise have been tried by court-martial.
646. If, in the opinion of a convening officer, a court-mar-
tial could more conveuientl.y bo held at a place other than
that whore the accused is, he may cause the court te be con-
vened at any place within bis command. If it is desired to
hold the trial in any place beyond his command, application
will be made to the Secretary of the Militia Council with an
explanation of the reasons for this course, A saving of expense
owiag to transit of witnessee or members would be a suHicieut
reason, but no change of place is to be made when it appears
that the accused is likely to be prejudiced in bis defence by
the change. When the cose is to be tried in another command,
the court will be convened under the orders and on the respou'
sibility of the o^cer to whose command the accused is removed.
646. When an officer or soldier is required as a witness before
a court-martial, and is not serving in the District in vrhich the
court is to be held, application for his attendance is to be made
to the Secretary of tho Militia Council. The probable day of
the assembly of the court should be stated in such application.
647. An officer will be required on first joining to att(*n.i
all Eegimental Courts-Martial for iustruetion, and such other
courts-martial as the Officer Commanding the station may direct,
for at least one year from tho d^te of Lis joining; and be is
jnot to be nominated a member of a court-martial, even if
qualified to sit, until his CO. deems him competent to perform
BO important a d&ty, nor, when it can be avoided, unless he has
previously attended as supernumerary at least ten times. i
548. In a difiicult case the convening oflcer will select a
specially qualified officer to act as prosecutor. If such an
officer ie not available, he should apply &s soon as possible to
superior authority for the services of one.

649. An Officer Commanding a Military District is to obtain Engagement
the sanction of Militia Headquarters before counsel is engaged **' can* «6.
to appear on behalf of a prosecutor. The assistance of counsel
at courts-martlaJ should be applied for only in cases of an
exceptionally difficult or complicated nature, and this course
should be very rarely necessary when the offences are of a
purely military character.
650. Wlion an application is submitted to Militia Head- ^PPll<^*t^o"
quarters for permission to engage counsel to appear on behalf "a^ol^iaV—
of a prosecutor, the honr, date and place of assembly fixed for igib.
the court-martial, with the name of tho officer who will act as
prosecutor, should be atated, and a copy of the approved
charges and of the summary of evidence should invariably ac-
company and application, togetheir with a statemenit setting out
the reasons for considering the employment of counsel necessaiy.
If any alteration is subsequently made in the charges, a
copy of the amended charges will be at once forwarded to
Militia Headquarters.
551. It is the duty of a prosecutor to hr'ing all the facts Duties of
of a case fully before a court in evidence, and to take caie, pro<ecutor.
especially when the accused is not assisted ii his dofoiwo, ^^°* * . *
that no material fact in oonnectiott with the offence charged
is omitted which would, if given ii evidence, tall in favor of
the accused. Drunkenness is no excuse for the commission of
an offence, but if the charges against a soldier do not allege
drunkeanees, and he was drunk at the time he committed an
offence with which he is charged, the prosecutor should bring
out this fact in evidence.
652. For D.C.M. and B.C.M. the legal minimum number af Number of
members will ordinarily be sufficioot to form- Uie court; but raemberB to
if necessaiy, a larger number may be detailed, and waiting ''*(jj[5j**'ij52-
members jirovided. For the trial of doubtful or complicated
cases a D.C.M. should, when poB8i1)le^ consist of five officers.
When the minimum number is detailed not more than one
meuibor sliDuId be a subaltern.
663. The president of a court-martial must be named in the prescribed
order for the assembly of the court The members and the '^^"^ o'
waiting members may be mentioned by name or the number *''jJq^|JJ;_
and ranks and the unit to which they belong may alone be iei2.
named.
When the composition of a court-martial differs from the oan. 483.
normal, in respect either of the description or of the rank of
the officers ordered to form the court, or on account of the
suspension of the operation of a rule, tho prescribed form of
the order convening tho court must be strictly followed^ as
the legalitr of the trial may depend on the correct wording of
the order.
It is essential that M.F.B. 220 ehould be free from altera- imp^ 577^
tions or erasures as repards the portion relating to the officers
appointed and detailed to compose the court. Wlere alterations
in the composition of the court are necessary at any time

tion. A court-martial should not ordinarily be rcquiied to sit
tor more than sisr^ or at tho most eight, hours during one day,
566. An accused porson for trial is to be oxamited by a
medical officer on tho morning of each day the coirt is or-
dered to sit, and a CO. is losponsible that no accused person
is brought before a court-martial if, in the opinion of the
mescal officor, ha is uniit to undergo his traal. An accused
person brought before a court-martial will, if he is tin ofllcer^

having him in custody, or, if of lower rank, by an escort. The
officer or N.CO. in charge will be responsible for his safe con-
duct, but will obey the directions of the court while th9 accused
is la court. An accused person will not be handcuffed, unless
this is absolutely necessary for tho purpose of preventing his
escape or rescue, or of restraining his violent conduct
657. When an original document, other than M,F,— B. 259,
is furnished to tlio ptosecutor to be produced in evidence be-
fore a court- martial, it will rarely bo necessary to annex it to

dered to sit, anl a CO. is lesponsible tlat no accused person
is brought before a court-martial if, in the opinion of the
mediool officer, he is unfit to undorgo his tmal. An accused
periou brought boforo a court-martial will^ if he is an officer,
warrant officer, or N.C.O., b« attended by an officer or N.C.O.
having him in custody, or, if of lower rank, by an escort. The
officer or N.C.O. in charge will be responsible for his safe con<
duct, but will obey the directions of the court while th9 accused
is in court. An accused person will not be handcuffed, unless
this is absolutely necessary for the purpose of preveating his
esc&pe or rescue, or of restraining his violent conduct

is furnished to tlio prosecutor to be produced in evidence be*
fore a court-martial, it will rarely be necessary to annex it to
the proceedings. A certified copy should be produced to the
court, together uritb the original, the former being attached to
the proceedings, and the latter returned to its proper custodian.

case (e.g., alleged forgeries), will always be attached in

Sentences of Oouxt^MartfaL
V 661. When passing sentence, a court*martial will have-
regard not only to the nature and degree of the offence and the S^V^i^"""
previous character of the accused, as proved in avidence, butjy rourti
also to the nature and amount of any such consequences which, ^^^- 490,
by virtue of any statute, warrant, oider or regulation, are in-
volved in tOieir finding, oi entailed by their sentence, in additioc
to the punishment awarded by the court.
562. (i) All convictions, whether by courts-majtial or by «.„ ^o.
civil courts, except as provided in para. 1696 (ui), for offencef
committed by a soldier since his first enlistment, including any
time passed in a state ;of desertion, will be given in evidence
against him. The court will' consider if any circumstances have
been disclosed by the evidence in extenuation or aggravation
of the offeuEe. In awarding imprisonment or detention they
will keep in view the locality and climate in which the accused

(yf).
has ta undergo his sonteacft. Sentences must vary aceordiug
to the requlremantB of disciplme, but in ordinary circumBtanees,
and for the firet offence, a Bontence should be light. Care must
be taken to discriminate between offences due to youth, temi>er,
sudden temptatiojif or unaccustomed surroundings, &nd those
due to premeditated misconduct
If the accused has elected to be tried by a D.C.M. instead
of submitting to the jurisdietion of hi> CO., his punishment
should not on that ground bo incroasod. In ordinary ciri-um-
stances the court should not award a heavier sentence thau that
which the CO. had power to award.
(ii). A soldier who is convicted by a court-martial of an
offance under Ssctions 17, 18(4) or (5), cr 41 of the A.rmy Aet,
ought, unless in the opinion of the court there are special
reasons to the contrary, to be sentenced to imprisonment, and
undergo his sentence in a civil prison, hut in cases where the
confimumg o£Boeir does U'ot consider tJbe soldier shoutil be dis-
chaJ'ged from tlie force as & consequence of his conviction,^ he
may commute tlie sentence of imprisonment to one of deteutiou.
These offences should not ba dealt wtih by a eourt-raartial in-
ferior to a B.CJJ.
(iii.) Except as provided in the prec&ding sub-paiagraph, a
Boldior wntencod by a couit-majtial to imprisonment with or
without discharge with ignominy, will ha committed to a civil
prison to undergo his sentence,
(iv.) Detention has been introduced into the scale of punish-
ments in order that soldiers who are convicted of offences which
do not warrant discharge should not, as a rule, be subjected to
the stigma attached to imprisonmeast. The latter punish tne at
oughit as a rule, to be reeorved for men convicted of serious
offences, or of grave military offences, which in the opinion of
tho court render thoir disebarge with ignominy advisable.
(v.) Where, therefore, a Boldier hae, for a pure!/ military
offence, been seateneed by a court-martial to imprisonment with-
out discharge with ignominy, the confirming officer, or other
superior authority, should, except under very special eircum-
stances, commube the sentence to a sentenco of detention.
(vi.) When a sentence of imprisonment is commuted into
one of detention, the term of detention must in no case exceed ■
the terra of imprisonment originally awarded.
(vii.) A sentence of detention, being lower in the scale
of punishmenta than imprisonmenti cannot be commuted into
ouQ of imprisonment.
(viii.) Where a soldier laa been sentenced to imprisonment
and to be discliarged with ignominy, and a confirming officer,
or other superior authoritr, commutes the imprisonment to
detention, he will, in such a case, remit the discharge with
ignominy, as such a discharge cannot accompany a sentence of
detention. Th* converse will also hold good, that is,/ when a
confirming officer, or other superior authcrity^ remits a discharge
with ignominy, he will at the same time commute the sentence
of imprisonmeit to orie of detention.
(ix.) A Boiaier who is convicted b.T a court-martial of a
purely military offence and v^ho, at the expiration of his sen-
106
Courts-Uartial
Para. 662
tence, will rejoin his unit, should not ordinarily bo sentenced
to imprisonment.
(x.) The powers of a E.CM., and of a CC^ do not extend
to the award of impriaonment. A R.CM. or a O.O. may award
detention and a soldier awarded detention will undergo his
sentence in a detention barrack, or a branch detention bar-
rack. He cannot be sent to prison for that purpose, but a soldier
sentenced to imprisonment may undergo his sentence in a deten-
tion barrack if no civil prison is available.
(xi.) The following general instructions are issued for the
guidance of courts-martial, but notliiog contained in thorn must
be construed as limiting the discretion of the court to pass &ny
legal sentence, whethor in accordance with these instructions
or not, if, in their opinion, there ie good reasom for doing so: —

is tieavier than the interests of discipline and the merits of the
particular case require. In exercising the powers of commuta-
tion OT mitigation the confirmfng oflicer will be guided by the
iuBtructioDs in para. 562 in order that, having due regard to the
soldier's character, &c., no great disparity may exist between
sentences awarded for similur offences.
667. A confirming authority, when tae proceedins^s require pemarka and
confirmation, may confirm or refuse condrmation, or may send
ba<^k the finding and sentence, or either of them, for revision
unoe, but not more tlhon once, and whore the finding only is sen*
back for revision, the court have power, without any direction,
to revise the sentence also.
When the confirming authority finds it neeessarjr to com-
ment upon the proceedings of such a court-martial, whether ori-
ginal or revised, his remarlts will be separate from and form
no part of the proceedings. They will be communicated in a
separate minute to the members of the court, or, in exceptional
cases where in the interests of disciplinea more public instruc-
tion is required, they will be made known in the orders of the
command. In no case will tie comment upon a finding of "not
guilty" or upon the inadecjuaey of a sentence, and great care
is to be taken not to interfere unduly with the discretion with
which the court is vested in the exercise of its judicial functions.
Where statements made by an accused, in mitigation of pun-
ishment, reveal facts which might infiuonce confirming officers
in determining the proper sentence, or contain matter which
m^ht call for disciplinary action, investigation into the truth
or otherwise of such statements should he made by the confirm-
injr ofiicer, if practicable, prior to confimiation.
(f such inquiry is likely to cause substantial delay in confirm-
ation, confirmirg officers may confirm the proceedings forthwith,
and make investigation with a view to subsequent reconsider-
ation. They will use their own discretion whether they will re-
'tain the proceedings or will forward them at once to the Judge
Advocate General; in the tatter case the outcome of the inves*
tigation will b» communicated to the Judge Advocate General
subsequently. •

568. If an oHicer who would liave confirmed tJie findiug auJ
sentence of a court, had tlie trial resulted in a conTietiou, think*
it necessary to remark upon the proceedings in a case whera
the accused has been acquitted, he will not anner his observa-
tions to the proceedings, but 'n-ill embody them in a letter fqr
the information of superior authority, who will give such orders
as may be necessary.
569. If it appears to a confirmini^ oflScer that the proceed-
ings of a court-martial are illegal, or involve subitantial iujus-
tico to the accused, and he has not confirmed the finding and
sentence, he will withhold his confirniation; if he has confirmed
the finding and sentence, he will direct the record of the convic-
tion to be removed, and the soldier to be relieved from all con-
sequences of his trial. If he is in doutbt, be may refer the cast
for the opinion of superior authority. When the circumstances
of the case admit of reference without undue delay the proceed-
ings of courts-martial that have been confirmed will not bu
quashed without reference to the Judge Advpcata General. IC
the proceedings can be legally sustained, and there is no sub-
stantial injustice, but an irregularity has occurred, the convic-
tion may take effect, but the confiiming ofiicor will consider
what reduction of the sentence (if tny) is due lo the eoldiei.
The same rule will npplj when the proceedings of a court-mar-
tial, after confirmation, come under the review of any other
authority competent to ileal with them. Except as above pro-
vided, when a soldier has been tried and sentenced by court-mai.

has been wkolly remitted, the remission does not extend to any
any penalty or forfeiture consequent on the conviction^

571. The proceedings of courts-martial, includiag the charge,
finding, sentence, and confirmation, will bo promulgated when-
ever practicable by being read out on parade, or in such other
manner as may be directed for the particular occasion; in all

cation of the foregoing particulars to the accused. The data
of promulgation will, when practicable, bo recorded upon the
proceedings, and in cases where the confirmatioi is given hy
the Governor-General for His Majesty, the date will be report-
ed to Militia Headquarters.
672. All proceedings of courts-martial, whether transmitted
before or after promulgation, are to be accompaniad by a lettef
specifying the nature ot the contents.
573» The proceedings of a D.C.M. will, when promulgated,
bo returned to the D.O.C, who will make necessary communica-
tion respecting them to the president and judge advocate (if
any) for their informstion. The D.O.C will then transmit
them to the Judge Advocate Genera] without delay.
The proceedings of any G.C.M. or D.C.M. wlieh have not

Medals and Decorations
For this reason it is Beldom that medals can be pormitted
to be replaced at the public expense. Such replacement ia
confined to cases in which the loss of the medal was due
eEtirely to unavoidable circumstanceSi such as shipTrreck, fire,
&t. In interpreting this rule, care should be takei to differ-
entiate between such accidental losses as might ordinarily be
incurred in private life and those which are incurred solely
^ through the oiigencies of the service. Thus: — ^Loss by theft,
burglary, loss of baggage while travailing, or loss due to
defective fastenings, &c., aie such as might be incurred by any
individual and are not, therefore, to bo considered as fair
charges against the public.
In cases under (iii.) tlio soldier will be dealt with under
Section 24 of the Army Act, and, if ccnvictod, he must serve
three years cloar of an entry in the regimental conduct book
before he can be recommeEded for the grant of a new medal,
on paying the -value thereof. If sentenced to imprisonment
or detention, the three years will reckon from termination of
such imprisbnntent or detention.
' In all cases where the clasps are not lost a new medal
only is to bo applied for*

m&dals at his own expense, submitting with such application
a statutory declaration setting forth the eircumstancea A regard
to the loss, and showing that the Iobb was unavoidable and
occurred through no fault of his own. )few medals will not bo
issued until sis months have elapsed frcm the date of the loss.
1423. When a medal or clasps issued by Canada require to
be replaced at the expense of the man, the value thereof, $1.83
for the medal, and 3G cents for eaoh clasp, must be deposited
in the usual way in some authorized bank in the locality, to
tha credit of the Eeceiver-General, and the depojit receipt
tharefore must be seat to Militia Headijuartors with tiio applica-
tion for issue. The charge for a ribbon will be 5 cents. '

mendations for a medal with annuity ihould, in addition, be
