MILITARY JUSTICE

[Real Orden:] [Begins: 'Al Coronel de Reales Guardias Walonas Principe de Castelfranco, comunico con esta fecha la Real órden siguiente']. [Madrid] [1798].

Royal order sent to the Principe de Castelfranco, Colonel of the Reales Guardias Walonas, following a complaint from Guillermo O'Moore, the chaplain, that Nicolas Coutz, sentenced to death for desertion, could not have his confession heard because he could only speak Polish, which the chaplain could not understand. Although there was deemed to be nothing in law to protect him, Coutz did have his sentence commuted to a long imprisonment.
