Horse Guards, August 26, 1806. Lieutenant-general the Right Hon. Thomas Maitland, &c. &c. &c. Sir, Having laid before the king the proceedings of a general courtmarial, held at Colombo, in the island of Ceylon, on the 30th January, 1806, and continued by adjournments to the 10th February, for the trial of major Robert Hopner, of the 19th regiment of foot, who was arraigned on the following charges, viz.

1st. For behaving in a manner unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having stated to captain Madge, of the 19th regiment, in the month of December last, that major-general Maitland, at a conference granted to major Honner, for the specific purpose of stating the reason why he could not be recommended for promotion, had promised to him (Major Honner) that if he would withdraw his name for purchase, he (the major-general) would consider himself bound in honour to protect him, and would provide for and promote him at some future opportunity;" or words to that effect, such statements being a falsehood, derogatory to the character, and subversive of the authority of the commander of the forces, and a breach of the rules and articles of war.

2d. For behaviour derogatory to the character, and subversive of the authority, of the said major Honner, as commanding officer of his majesty's 19th regiment, in having, on or about the 13th of September last, given one or more bows or shoves to captain Lawrence, of the 9th regiment in the mess-room of the said egiment, and in presence of officers and men of that corps, being a breach of the rules and articles of war.

3d. For having, in breach of the rules, and articles of war, given, on about the 25th of August, 1804, when

senior captain of his majesty's 19th regiment in the mess-room of that corps, one or more blows or shoves, to captain (then lieutenant) Robson, of the said regiment, for which conduct an apology was made by major (then captain) Honner, to captain (then lieut.) Robson, in presence of the greater part of the officers composing the garrison of Trincomalle, assembled for the purpose of hearing it read, and which was couched in the following term or terms to this effect.

Officers of the garrison of Trincomalle, I now beg leave thus publicly to express my sincere concern, at having, a few evenings since, been guilty, in this mess-room, of highly improper conduct, and disturbing the society of those present, for which I now apologize, with an assurance of avoiding, in future, a repetition of any thing of the like nature. But you, Lieutenant Robson, in particular, I address myself, and request, you will receive this acknow ledgment of a full sense of my unpardonabłebehaviour, at that time to you, which I hope will be buried in oblivion, and also declare, that I entertain the most perfect respect for your character, both as an officer and a gentleman.

The court having found the prisoner guilty of the first charge, as also of the second, but they are of opinion, that, in so acting, major Honner had no intention to insult captain Lawrence, and was not actuated by anger towards him.

And the court having found the prisoner, major Honner, guilty, as above, of breaches of the rules and articles of war, have adjudged him to be cashiered.

I am to acquaint you, that his majesty has approved of the sentence of the court-martial, but, in consideration of recommendation of the court, in the letter addressed to the governor, and under all theircumstances of the case, major Honner having a wife and large family at Ceylon, and the wife being the daughter of an old and deserving officer, who fell fighting in his majesty's service, his majesty has been graciously pleased to direct that a majority of nautry shall be disposed of, for the benefit of the wife and family of the said major Honner.

I have, therefore, to desire, that you will be pleased to make the necessary communication to major Honner, and acquaint

acquaint me with the day on which the sentence shall be made known to him, as, from that day, he will cease to receive pay in his majesty's service. I am, Sir, your's, (Signed) FREDERICK, Commander in Chief. In absence of the Deputy adjutantgeneral.

(Signed) C. M. EDWARDS,
