RULES To be observed in tke Navy of tke United States in relation to Paroles. 1. .Paroling must always take place by the interchange of signed duplicates of a written document, in which the names and rank of the persons paroled are correctly and distinctly stated. Any one who intentionally misstates his rank fcrfeits the benefit of his parole, and is liable to.punishment. 2. None but commissioned officers can give the parole for them- selves and their command, and no inferior officer can give a parole without the authority of his superior, if within reach. 3. No paroling of entire bodies of men after a battle or capture, and no dismissal of large numbers of prisoners with a general declaration that they are paroled, is permitted, or will be considered of any value. 4. An officer who shall give a parole for himself or his command without referring to his superior, when it is in his power to do so, will be considered as giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and may be considered as a deserter, and be punished accordingly. 5. For the officer, the pledging of his parole is an individual act; and no wholesale paroling by an officer for a number of inferiors in rank, in violation of Article 1, is permitted, or will be considered valid. 6. No non-commissioned or warranted officer, or seaman, or private marine, or other person belonging to the Navy, can give his parole except through an officer. Individual paroles not given through an officer are not only void, but make the individuals giving them amenable to punishment as deserters. The only admissible exception is when individuals, properly separated from their commanders, have suffered long confinement without the possibility of being paroled through an officer.
