§ COLONEL GREVILLEasked the Judge-Advocate, Whether it is true that Dr. Guydir, assistant-surgeon, Royal Longford Rifles, who was tried by a general court-martial on the 1st and 2nd of June last, was placed in arrest on the 10th day of May last, and still remains under arrest and debarred from practising his profession, in consequence of the finding of the Court not having yet been promulgated by the authorities?
MR. HEADLAMsaid, it was perfectly true that Dr. Guydir had, in accordance with the rules of the service, been placed under arrest on the 10th of May, and that some delay had taken place before he had been tried before a court-martial. The trial had, however, come on early in June, and he had subsequently had two audiences of Her Majesty to ascertain her pleasure with respect to the finding of the Court. The matter had eventually been brought under the consideration of the Commander-in-Chief, and he was happy to say that the result was that Dr. Guydir would be released immediately by order of the Lord-Lieutenant of the county.
