The Duties of Judge Advocates. Compiled from Her Majesty's and the Hon. East-India Company's Military Regulations, and from the Works of various Writers on Military Law. By CAPTAIN R. M. HUGHES, 12th Regiment Bombay Army, Deputy Judge Advocate General, Scinde Field Force. London, 1845. Smith, Elder, and Co. 66 We were rather startled by meeting on an early page of this volume the following dictum of Sir Charles Napier quoted with approbation, That the business of courts-martial is not to discuss points of law, but to get at the truth by all the means in their power." Now surely it is one among the duties of a courtmartial to discuss points of military law when necessity requires; if it be not, it it quite obvious that Captain Hughes has misspent his time and labour in the preparation of this book. The gallant general seems to have given utterance to the quoted sentence without attaching any precise meaning to the terms which he employed, as is evident from the confusion which he makes of law and fact. Courts-martial, like all other courts, have to deal with both, and if they defy or disregard law in a pretended zeal for truth, they forget their duty. It is remarkable that such a person as Sir Charles Napier should have fallen into the vulgar error of despising principles of law and rules of evidence, as if they were upheld for their own sake, and not because they are essential to the very objects for which some seek to sacrifice them-justice and truth. Not less remarkable is it that such error should be even casually countenanced by the author of this work, seeing that in his twelfth chapter he has shewn most fully, most ably, and most conclusively, the necessity for a judgeadvocate possessing not only an accurate and comprehensive knowledge of military law, but some degree of acquaintance with the common law of England. Passing over the little lapse which, on account of its mischievous tendency, we have felt bound to notice, we have great pleasure in acknowledging the value of Captain Hughes's manual. It will furnish a young judge-advocate with the best course of elementary instruction extant-indeed, the only course specially devoted to his duties-and guide him judiciously in his search for more extended information on military law. It has apparently been compiled with great care, and we wish it an extended circulation. India and Lord Ellenborough. Fourth edition. London, 1844, Dalton. THE period of Lord Ellenborough's administration of Indian affairs was unusually brief, but it seems likely to give rise to controversies neither brief, nor few, nor cold. Cut short in his career by the stern mandate of the Court of Directors, his lordship's recal affords a theme upon which both his friends and his opponents might be expected to expatiate; and the event justifies the expectation. The writer of the pamphlet, entitled "India and Lord Ellenborough," belongs to the latter class. The main points upon which he assails the ex- Governor-General are connected with his conduct in regard to Affghanistan and Sinde. Taking up the papers which have been laid before Parliament and the Proprietors of East-India Stock, he enters upon an elaborate examination of the proceedings of Lord Ellenborough, as therein developed, and comments upon them with extraordinary severity. No weapon of controversy is permitted to be idle. Solid argument, grave sarcasm, and sportive humour are all put in requisition; and the result of the whole is to leave on the mind of the reader a strong conviction that Lord Ellenborough was an unsafe Governor-General, and that the Court of Directors did well in recalling him. The author seems to have studied the history of the East-India Company with much care, and his observations on the importance of India to this country are deserving of all attention. From some remarks scattered through the pamphlet, but more especially from those with which it is closed, this fierce assault upon the political character of Lord Ellenborough seems to have been provoked by the foolish conduct of some injudicious friends of his lordship, in throwing out intimations in Parliament, and in various periodicals, that it would be proper to take away, or to limit, the power of recal by the Court. If this be so, Lord Ellenborough, beyond most men, has a right to exclaim," Save me from my friends!" The suggestions of those indiscreet friends were probably only idle bravadoes, but they have called forth a punishment which will not soon be forgotten. The author of this pamphlet castigates his adversaries with an unsparing hand, strenuously asserts the necessity of maintaining to the Court the power of recal unimpaired, and vigorously defends its exercise in the particular instance under examination. His arguments are, in our judgment, conclusive, and, at all events, it is quite certain that the popularity of Lord Ellenborough is not so great as to render important and delicate changes, having reference to nothing but his gratification, safe, or even practicable. Recollections of the First Campaign West of the Indus, and of the subsequent Operations of the Candahar Force under Major-General Sir W. Nott, G.C.B. By a Bengal Officer. London, 1845. Smith, Elder, and Co. THE chief incidents of the campaigns traced by the "Bengal Officer" have been so fully brought before the public in more elaborate personal narratives as well as in official papers, that it could not reasonably be expected that his " Recollections" should contain much that is new. But though they present little of novelty, they are not undeserving of praise. The reader who desires a very brief summary of the progress and proceedings of the armies of Lord Keane and Sir William Nott will here find that which ought to satisfy him. The style is admirable; it is plain, simple and transparently clear; totally free from affectation or any attempt at display; and but for one drawback which we shall immediately notice, it would be what Cobbett would have called "a nice little book." That of which we have to complain is the disposition which Pope had in view when he wrote these lines: A judge is just, a chancellor juster still, A gownsman learn'd, a bishop what you will. More wise, more learn'd, more just, more every thing. The" Bengal Officer" has a great tendency to admire men in high station-there are a few persons of note who do not enjoy the full measure of his admiration, but though some of them are or have been occupants of high places, those places were not the highest. For Governors General and Commanders-in-Chief he appears to entertain the same unmixed reverence which Charles Lamb declared that he felt for old benchers of the temple. Lord Keane comes in for a large share of praise, and even the merit of the capture of Ghuznee is ascribed to him. After some very encomiastic remarks upon his lordship, the author naïvely informs us in a note that they were written before the General's death-an intimation scarcely required. The Bengal officer is the champion of Lord Ellenborough as well as of Lord Keane, but his advocacy is more zealous than consistent. Thus, at page 65, a soldierly and patriotic feeling leads him to speak with just indignation of the danger of evacuating Affghanistan without rescuing the prisoners; and again, at page 67, he gives the honour of suggesting a contrary course where it is justly due. The confident tone adopted both by General Pollock and Nott at last induced the government to suspend the order for evacuating Affghanistan. Who after reading this could expect to meet with the following passage : The party feeling which would deprive the late ruler of India of all credit for the successful termination of affairs west of the Indus cannot be too strongly condemned. Loro Ellenborough, on assuming the reins of government, found our Eastern possessions in a most critical position, and those from whom he had reason to expect assistance and counsel seized with an unaccauntable panic. Who were they? Not the two Generals commanding in Affghanistan-not the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Jasper Nicolls, who was with difficulty prevailed upon to issue orders commanding General Pollock, except under certain circumstances, to retreat-not Mr. George Clark, the able representative of the British Government at the Court of the Sikhs-not, it is shrewdly suspected, the members of the Council of India, from whom, however, the Governor-General always managed to separate himself as much as possible-nor in short any of the military or civil officers, to whom his lordship might naturally look for counsel and support. Panic there might be somewhere-there was; with whom it most prevailed we abstain from stating. The Bengal Officer" goes on : Thrown on his own resources, his lordship displayed a strength of mind and wisdom which secured India from impending ruin ! This is so satisfactory, that we can proceed no further with either quotation or remark. We feel that we have had enough. The last short extract is the parting glass of sherry which closes the rites of the dinner table and prepares us for the lighter refreshments of the drawing-room. Anglo-Indian and Colonial Almanack, and Civil, Military, and Commercial Directory for 1845. London, Smith, Elder & Co. THE value of an Almanack, or a Directory, must depend altogether on its accuracy. The present work appears to have been compiled in much haste, and we have observed several errors. The title page presents a very extraordinary typographical blunder, the date assigned to the publication being 1854. This, however, is a trifling matter-the errors to which we have above alluded are errors of fact. DAYABHAGA (Part of),-Sanscrit, in Bengali character, and also in Bengali verse. 8vo. 5s.
