GENERAL ORDERS, 
No. 91. 
WAR DEPARTMENT, 
Adjutant General’s Office, 
Washington, April 7, 1863. 
The Proceedings of a Military Commission, convened at Memphis, 
Tennessee, on the 28th November, by virtue of Special Orders, No. 3, 
dated November 28, and No. 8, dated December 3, 1862, from the 
Headquarters, District Memphis, and before which was tried Private 
William Solers, of Bissell’s Engineer Regiment, have been submitted 
to the Secretary of War. 
It does not appear from the record that the Commission or Judge 
Advocate were sworn. The exceeding irregularity of the proceedings 
in this case cannot be overlooked, and the sentence is reversed and 
set aside. 
By order of the Secretary of War: 
E. D. TOWNSEND, 
Assistant Adjutant General.
