Pvt. George M. Leland

       Note;
This soldier is included in this study as the records were found in the Maquon Library.   At this time it is unknown how they came to be there or what his connection is with the town of Maquon.   As he is listed with the 53d Ill. Cav. a search of military records is no help as there was no 53d Ill. Cav. during the Civil War.   I have therefore searched the most likely regiments.   I have included these even though I have no proof that they are in fact those listed in the charges.

HEAD QUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE MISSISSIPPI

Corinth, Miss., July 16, 1862

GENERAL ORDERS,   NO. 39

       I.......   At the General Court Martial which convened at Corinth, Mill., pursuant to Specila Field Orders No. 126, and of which Captain Wm. FORD, 53d Illinois Cavalry, is President, were tried:

CHARGE:

"Disobedience of Orders."

SPECIFICATION:   "In this, that Private George M. Leland, 53d Illinois Cvalry, being ordered on the 13th day of June, 1862, at Camp of Major General Halleck's escort, Coringth, Mill., by Captain John S. Foster, commanding escort of Major General Halleck, to report to Captain W. Willard Smith, Acting Assistant Quartermaster, Major General Halleck's staff, for police duty, did, at the time and place aforesaid, refuse to obey said order, thereby disobeying the lawful commnd and order of his commanding officer, the said Cptain John S. Foster, and violating  part of the 9th Article of War."

To which charge and specification the prisoner pleaded "Not guilty."

FINDING OF THE COURT

       The Court finds the prisoner, Private George M. Leland, 53d Illinois Cavalry, "Not huilty" of the charge and specification.
       The findings of the Court in the cases of Privates George M. Leland and John L. Barber, 53d Illinois Cavalry, are not in accordance with the recorded evidence.   The Court grossly neglected its duty in not punishing the parties they proved guilty of disobedience of orders.   Such a course directly encourages mutiny.   Privagtes George M. Leland and John L. Barber will be released frp, arrest amd returned tp duty.
