This at about the hour of one o’clock in the

nel, stationed in front of the Provost Marshal’s

Specification : “In this, that he, Captain A. S. Top
lanyi, Cos. F, 3d U. S. C TANARUS., approached a senti
nel stationed in front of the Provost Marshal’s
Office in a quarrelsome manner, using abusive

11. The proceedings, findings and sentence in the
foregoing case having been approved by the officer ap
pointing the Court and submitted to the Major-General
Commanding the Department, for his action thereon.
The Armv Regulations require, that all persons of
whatever rank hi the service observe respect towards
sentinels. Capt. Toplauri’s conduct is aggaravated by
the fact, that lie had no authority over the sentinels,
und that the language he employed was such as no
provocation could excuse in an officer and gentleman,
lu consideration, however, of the zeal which Capt.
Toplanyi has shown in maintaining the discipline of
his command, the Commanding General allows him
nn opportunity to retrieve his reputation, and miti
gates the sentence to forfeiture for six months of all
pay and allowances, except the allowance for one
ration.
