§ MR. EDWARD MORTON (Devonport)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, in the case of the recent court-martial on Sayers, until then a sergeant in the 2nd Royal Berkshire Regiment, the Judge Advocate General was informed that Rule of Procedure 82 was violated at the trial to the detriment of the prisoner's case; and, if not, whether the War Office will lay the facts relating to the violation of Rule of Procedure 82 before the Judge Advocate General, with a view to the rescinding of his decision as to the regularity of the trial?
THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. POWELL-WILLIAMS,) Birmingham, S.The Judge Advocate General, with all the circumstances before him, did not consider that any injustice had been done to the prisoner, and did not feel called upon to advise any interference with the finding and sentence.
