On December 28, 1862, the court met for the last time that year. Their army was advancing on Murfreesboro and in a few days the Battle of Stone's River would be fought. Again, the court welcomed a short day by calling one Government witness; 1st Lieutenant Charles Allen of the Third Ohio Volunteers. He worked as an acting commissary of subsistence for his division and was stationed in Nashville in August 31, 1862, as Buell fell back to guard his supply lines and the city against depredations. He was questioned but 11 times, and being shown the reports of shipping, he was asked to supply a breakdown of subsistence on hand for that date; also whether or not any units were bringing in subsistence from the field on foraging expeditions. He answered in the negative on the latter question and pointed out another officer had records he needed, so the court decided to break and return after relocation to Louisville, Kentucky, about January 10, 1863.
When they reconvened after 13 days, 1st Lt. Charles Allen was called again and supplied the court with the necessary information.
