'''Courts Martial''' could be General Courts Martial held for major offences or Regimental Courts Martial conducted by a commanding officer when offences were more minor. Commissioned officers were always subject to General Courts Martial.
==Records==
For Bengal, you can probably obtain a summary of the Court Martial proceedings in the General Orders by C-in-C Bengal in the L/MIL/17/2 series at the British Library, and similarly for the other Presidencies. (Unfortunately, these have not been microfilmed)
[[British Army]] Records of Courts Martial held at [[The National Archives]].
* WO71, = Records relating to Individual Trials of Officers.
* WO91 & W092 Records relating to General Court Martial Reports. (1806-1960)
* WO93/1A = Index to WO91 & WO92. (1806-1833)
* WO93/1B= Index to Trials of Officers (1830-1904)
* WO88 = Registers of General courts martial in India 1878-1945.
(There are no similar records for minor offences handled by regimental courts martial – but mention of these may be found on a soldier’s record of service).
