    3. >From The Cork Examiner, 30 May 1865 - A SCANDAL AT MHOW.--In the Hurkaru of the 1st instant we casually mentioned that a short time ago, an officer in the 15th Native Infantry, stationed at Mhow, had been suspended, and that a court of inquiry had been convened to inquire into the charge preferred against him. The result has been that a general courtmartial will shortly assemble for his trial. He stands charged with having falsely accused his commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Stanley, of having ridden down and wounded a sepoy of his regiment. Colonel Stanley denies the fact, which his subordinate officer has undertaken to prove by several witnesses. A man, said to have been cut down, was admitted into hospital suffering from a sword wound received during a brigade parade. Of that there is no question. By whom and how the wound was caused remains to be proved.--Bengal Hurkaru. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
