IT is hereby enacted, that in cases in which an offender, being a soldier,
is punishable under Act No. XXIII. of 1839, any offender amenable
to any Articles of War for the East-India Company's native forces, not
being a commissioned officer, shall be punishable according to that Act,
as well as otherwise according to law; and Act No. II. of 1840 shall be
applicable to offenders imprisoned under this Act.
* All camp-followers were declared amenable to this Act by Act XII. 1842. The provi-
sions of this Act may perhaps be held to be superseded by the Articles of War in Act XIX.

suit or appeal shall be dismissed ; and it shall not be necessary to give the (
plaintiff or appellant any notice previous to dismissing his suit or appeal, j
The suit or appeal shall be dismissed as of course after the expiration of ^
six weeks, without any proceeding on the part of the court, or of the i
defendant, or otherwise, or assignment of any reasons, unless the plaintiff j
or appellant, or his representative in case of his death, upon special appli-
cation, shall have previously satisfied the court of the propriety of
allowing further time. The court shall record upon the proceedings the
reasons at large for allowing further time in all cases in which further
time may be allowed ; but it shall not be necessary to specify the reasons for
refusing any application for further time.
