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 di?ieult it was to adapt the advocated theory to the facts. Thus, in speaking of reduction, (p. 388 -9) he says: If an o?ieer 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 e?ect, amount to his being cashiered, dismissed. Or discharged, and the im mediately granting him a new commission.
