General Orders
Headquarters, Cape Town, Jan.27 1847
At a General Court Martial held at Fort Peddie, ceded Territory, of the Cape of Good Hope, on the 4th June 1846, and subsequent days, Capt. Colin CAMPBELL, 91st Regt, was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, viz:
1st: For conduct unbecoming an officer on the morning of the 21st May 1846, when in command of a detachment of troops escorting wagons from Trompetter's Drift to Fort Peddie, ceded Territory, Cape of Good Hope, in not supporting Lt. DICKSON, 91st Regt, nor making himself personally acquainted with the situation of that officer, during about two hours that he, Lieut. DICKSON, continued engaged with the enemy, with the advanced guard under his orders, on the occasion set forth in this charge.
2nd: For having shamefully abandoned, on the morning of the 21st May, a certain number of wagons, containing public stores and supplies, of which he had charge for the purpose of escorting to Fort Peddie.
Sentence of the Court
The Court having found the prisoner guilty of part of the first charge, and also guilty of the whole of the second charge preferred against him, which being in breach of the Articles of War, do now sentence him, the prisoner, Capt. Colin CAMPBELL of the 91st Regt. to be cashiered from H.M. Service.
Recommendation of the Court
The Court having performed a painful duty in sentencing the prisoner, Capt. C. CAMPBELL, 91st Regt, to be cashiered, feel themselves called upon strongly to recommend him to H.M. most gracious clemency, it appearing from the prisoner's having made two attempts to reach the front, after the attack on the wagons by the enemy had commenced, there does not appear to have been any want of personal courage, but the Court attribute his having so hastily abandoned the wagons to want of judgement, the novelty of the position in which he found himself placed in charge of a large convoy of 43 wagons through a dense wood, and his ignorance of the character of the enemy with whom he had to contend...
