Here is a case which will show the difference between our style and the Imperial style of dealing with Offenders –

I dont know exactly what branch of the service, the offender belonged to, but fancy 'twas either – A.S.C or Transport – However he went before his Commanding Officer; a Commanding Officers powers are limited to 28 days Field Punishment No.1. (ie.)
1) may be tied to a Gun wheel etc
2) made to do hard labor & fatigues etc
3) pay stopped for the period.

Unfortunately for him – president and members of the Court were Imperial Officers – He was sentenced to two years
