Should a military officer be denied court martial for misconduct
The author argues it would be dangerous and unequal to deny a court martial to any officer accused of offences. They warn a general in chief could misuse power to dismiss or ruin officers without trial, especially in a British army mixed with foreign mercenaries, unless a formal court martial is guaranteed. The piece discusses constitutional limits and fears of ministerial manipulation in trial outcomes.
