_Horse Guards, 9th September, 1815._ At a General Court-martial, held at _Montreal_, in Upper Canada, on the 21st December, 1814, and continued by adjournments to the 28th January, 1815, _Major-General Henry Procter_, Lieutenant-Colonel of the 41st Regiment, was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, viz. _1st, "That the said_ Major-General Procter, _being entrusted with the Command of the Right Division of the Army serving in the Canadas, and the retreat of the said Division from the Western Parts of Upper Canada having become unavoidable from the loss of the Fleet on Lake Erie, on the 10th September, 1813, did not, immediately after the loss of the Fleet was known by him, make the Military arrangements best calculated for promptly effecting such retreat, and unnecessarily delayed to commence the same until the Evening of the 27th of the said Month, on which Day the Enemy had landed in considerable force within a short distance of Sandwich, the Head-Quarters of the said Division, such Conduct on the part of the said_ Major-General Procter, _endangering the safety of the Troops under his Command, by exposing them to be attacked by a force far superior to them, being contrary to his Duty as an Officer, prejudicial to good Order and Military Discipline, and contrary to the Articles of War_." _2d. "That the said_ Major-General Procter, _after commencing the retreat of the said Division on the said 27th September, although he had reason to believe that the Enemy would immediately follow it with very superior numbers, and endeavour to harass and impede its March, did not use due expedition, or take the proper measures for conducting the said Retreat, having encumbered the said Division with large quantities of useless Baggage, having unnecessarily halted the Troops for several whole Days, and having omitted to destroy the Bridges over which the Enemy would be obliged to pass, thereby affording them the opportunity to come up with the said Division, such conduct betraying great professional incapacity on the part of the said_ Major-General Procter, _being contrary to his Duty as an Officer, prejudicial to good Order and Military Discipline, and contrary to the Articles of War_."
