Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cashiering and Dismissal
Hough, in his work on the Practice of courts-martial, (1825) takes the opposite ground from that maintained in the opinion just quoted, but occasionally loses sight of it, showing how diflieult it was to adapt the advocated theory to the facts. Thus, in speaking of reduction, (p. 388 -9) he says: If an oflieer of the rank of colonel, lieutenant-colonel, major, captain or lieu tenant, were to be reduced in rank, and made the youngest ensign of his regiment, such a sentence would, in eflect, amount to his being cashiered, dismissed. Or discharged, and the im mediately granting him a new commission. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
