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

upon the manner in which the character of a man Is estimated. ncordinK 
If men recommended as of "good' character are found to be*'*,",*",*"'"*' **'

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

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

bj the commauder of the guard in his guard report, and the 
original charge report, or a copy thereof, is to be foi warded to 
the CO. of tha person in austody. 

442. Attention is also diiected to Section 45 (1) of the Army 
Act, and Eule of Procedure, No. 1, The report therein prescrib- 
ed is to be mndo whether ttie person In custody is a patient in 
hospital or for whatever cause the case is not proceeded with. 
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- 
cer or N.C.O. (not under fientenee) usually moans arrest, but 
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 
any other mess premises. He is not to appear in auy place of 
amuBement or sutortainment, or at public assomblieSj and he is 
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 
command the unit may be.

450. Military custody in the case of a private soldier (not **»^J^^'^ *

in close ariest will be put in confiiomout under charge of a 
guard, piquet, patrol, sentry, or provost-marshal, and will be 
searched and deprived of knives ot other weapons. The ac- 
commodation usually available in burracks for the temporary 
confinement of soldiers iu close arn^st is the guard detentioa

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 '

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

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

NOTE.— Where the soldier coniosses to more than one of-

Officer to award any punishment in addition.

2,^-COXIRTS-MAItTIAL. 

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, 

641. A soldier rejoining from desertion, or discovered to Jtorea, etc., 
have fraudulently enlisted, will not be charged with the value ^^,^^^1^^^ 
of public clothing, stoies, &o., lost on desertion unless he is Can. 47a.

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 
after M.F.B. 220 has bean prepared, this document will be with- 
drawn and A new M.F.B. 220 will he substituted.

as little as possible with parades and other regimental instruc- 
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

and 4 p.m. or 11 a.m. a-nd 5 p.m.^ at such liours as wilt interfere 
as little as possible with parades and other regimental instruct 
tioE. A court-martial should not ordinarily be requiied to sit 
for more than six, or at the most eight, hours during one day* 

556. An accused person for trial is to be examined by a 
medical officer on the mornmg of each day the court is or- 
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 

£57. When an original document, other than M.F. — B. 259, 
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. 
Iiocumentd, the actual appearance of which is material to the 
case (e.g., alleged forgeries), will always be attached in 
originaL / 

658. In cases where it is necessary to prove that a soldier 
was a defaulter at the time of the commission of an oifence for 
which he is to be tried by court*martial, a certified true copy

of eonfinemeat fco barracks, taken from the gu-ard report 
(M.P.B. 237), of the minor offence report (MJ'.B. 224), as the 
case may be, will be produced in evidence before tlie court-

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

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-

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: —

tenced to be placed under stoppages in lespect of the property 
stden, or unlawfully obtaiced, and any sum of money which 
may have been found upon him has been appropriated to the 
above use, he should be placed under stoppages for tke baJamce 
only of the stoppage awarded by the court, 

566. It is the province of a confirming officer, by the exercise "j^^"^^* 
of his powers of commutation or mitigation, to reflate the J^g^JJ^^^j** 
amount of puniahment awarded by courts-martial, and to ensure puaishment. 
that the finding vimA sentenses are legaJ, and that nie sentence. Oan, 496. 
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. 
tial, and the proceedings have been confirmed, but the sentenca 
has been wkolly remitted, the remission does not extend to any 
any penalty or forfeiture consequent on the conviction^ 

570. The proceedings of a G.C.M. are to be sent to th& 
Judge Advocate General, for transmission to the Secretary of 
Stato for confirmation ly His Kxcetleny the Oovernor-Generul 
representing His Majesty" the King. 

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 
cases, however, the promulgation must include the communis 
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 
resulted in a conviction, or for any reason have not been con- 
firmed, will be sent to the Judge Adrocat^ General, 

110 ^ 



In forwarding proceedings which contain statemants made 
in mitigation of punishment, the covering letter should state 
(where necessary), that such statements either have been or 
are being investigated. 

674. If the proceedings of a G.C.M, or D.O.M. have not been 
forwarded to the Judge Aivocate General within one month 
from the date of confirmatbn, a special report of the cause of 
delay is to be made.

any arms, &e., tie court will satisfy itself by evidence that the 
absantee'' was, within a reasonal^le period of the date of absent- 
ing himself, in fossession of tho articles it finds to be deficient. 
Th« court will record the values of the unexpired wear of all

in charge of the ease will then be attached to the soldier's 
medical history sheet (M.F.— B, 313), on which it should be 
recorded whether the man was on duty and whether to blame.

the soldier was en or off duty at the time lie received the injury. 

(d) In cases where for any reason it is desirable tloroughiy 
to investigate tie causes of injury. 

(iy.) When lo evidence as to the ciicumstances attending 
the injury, beyond that of the injured man, is forthcoming, 
it should be so stated in tho proceedings. The court will not 
givo any opinioi, but tho soldier's CO. vrill record hig opinion

the officers and N.C.Os. of the iinit, and of supervising the in- 
struction given by the officers and N.C.Os. to the men. 

In certain cases it may also bo necessary for tho Instruction- 
al Cadre to undertake the elementary training of recruits be- 
fore they join their company, &c., but tho system to be aimed

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* 

f'O" o' >nedaU 1422. In the event of a flischarged soldier losing his medals,

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

worthy of this distinction and who fulfil the conditions pro- 
scribed as requisite for en "exemplary" character. Even when 

a soldier ib eligible both in these respects and by length of

character throughout his career, and to the number and natuie 
of offences recorded in liis conduct slieets, irrespectively of the 
punishnjents which may have been avrarded. Set vice of a soldier 
under 18 years of age may be included in the 18 /ears required

An entry in his regimantal conduct sheet of gallant or distin- j^ q 333 

guished conduct will be considered as diminishing by one the 191a. 
number of entries referred to in (ii.) (a), but will not affect the 
soldier's eligibility or ineligibility for tho medal in any other 
respect. 

1429. A company, &c., commander will bring to the notice Men fulflUing
