Convict Notes
https://archive.org/stream/recordsofindianc00napi/recordsofindianc00napi_djvu.txt Private Thomas Sallone, H. M. 9th Lancers. Tried by General Court Martial at Wuzeerabad, 2nd November 1849. Charges. — 1st. Being drunk when on inlying picquet; 2nd, Having made away with or lost regimental clothing and necessaries ; 3rd, Having offered violence to his superior Officer, Brevet Major R. A. Yule, H. M. 9th Lancers, by throwing his cap at him, he being in the execution of his duty ; 4th, Having made use of highly insubordinate and threatening language towards Brevet Major R. A. Yule, saying " that he could punch his head," or words to that effect. Finding. — Guilty. Sentence. — (Previous convictions and general bad character taken into consideration) Transportation for life. Revised. — I think the sentence is too severe. — Head Quarters, 18th November 1849. Court adheres to its former sentence. — Confirmed. Remarks by His Excellency the Commander in Chief. — I remit that portion of the sentence which exceeds seven (7) years. The extreme youth of the criminal, and the most ill-timed and injudicious remarks made upon the prisoner in presence of his, Major Yule's, superior Officer, provoked the crime for which he has been justly condemned. The Court ought not to have called on Major Yule for the prisoner's character. — Head Quarters, Camp Lahore, 10th December 1849.
