lly to
disband, and probably adopted from the Dutch in the 16th century. The
word in various forms is used in the same sense in most European
languages. It is now used in English for the dismissal of a commissioned
officer from the army and navy for particularly serious offences, in the
words of the Army Act, 1881, s. 16, for "behaving in a scandalous
manner unbecoming an officer and a gentleman." "Cashiering" involves not
merely the loss of the commission, but also a permanent disqualification
from serving the state in any capacity.

CASH REGISTER, a species of calculating machine adapted for use in
connexion with the cash-tills of shops, in order to provide a record of
the money received. Such machines are made in great variety and widely
used. Sometimes the records are constituted by holes punched in a roll
of paper; in other cases they are shown on dials by the aid of adding
mechanism. A common form has a number of keys, each representing a
particular sum and each attached to a counting mechanism which records
how many times it has been used. By pressing appropriate combinations of
these keys the amount of any purchase can be registered, and the
combined records of all the counting mechanism give the total that has
been passed through the machine in any selected period. Each key when
pressed also raises an indicator which informs the customer how much he
has to pay. In their more elaborate forms these cash registers may have
a separate money-drawer for each assistant employed in the shop, thus
enabling the proprietor to ascertain how many customers each man has
served and how much money he has taken, and also to fix responsibility
for mistakes, bad money, &c. The machines are also made to deliver a
printed receipt for each purchase, showing the amount, date and
assistant concerned, and they may be arranged to keep separate records
of credit sales, money received on account, and money paid out.

CASILINUM (mod. _Capua_), an ancient city of Campania, Italy, 3 m. N.W.
of the ancient Capua. Its position at the point of junction of the Via
Appia and Via Latina, and at their crossing of the river Volturnus by a
three-arched bridge, which still exists, gave it considerable importance
under the Roman republic; and while the original pre-Roman town, which
was doubtless dependent on the neighbouring Capua, stood entirely on the
left (S.) bank, surrounded on three sides by the river, the Roman city
extended to the
