HC Deb 08 March 1864 vol 173 cc1648-9
COLONEL NORTH

said, he rose to ask the Judge Advocate General, If it is his intention to make any alterations in the 162nd and other Clauses of the Mutiny Act; and, if so, if he will state the nature of such alterations?

MR. HEADLAM

, in reply, said, the Mutiny Bill would be committed that night, and he would only state that it was not his intention to propose any alteration in the clauses referred to.

COLONEL NORTH

Then I give notice, when the Mutiny Bill is in Committee, that I shall move a clause to the effect, that it shall be unlawful for the Judge Advocate General, or the Deputy Judge Advocate, to take a part in proceedings of a court-martial, similar to the part taken by the Deputy Judge Advocate during the recent trial of Lieutenant Colonel Crawley.
