Yesterday morning a Russian Lancer of the Harovsky Regiment came over with horse and arms. He was conducted to the cavalry camp, where he became, as you may easily imagine, an object of curiosity and interest. After the Colonel of the regiment which had been the night on outpost duty and which brought him in had examined him, he was taken to the tents of the soldiers, where each vied in showing hospitality to the new comer. Russian deserters are on our side of the Crimea rare birds, but rarer even are Turkish deserters. During the time that the Turkish troops were here not more than one deserted. I mentioned it at the time. He had chosen his time well : it was during an armistice, while a conference was taking place between the Russian and Turkish Commanders of outposts about the exchange of prisoners. He was supposed at first to be a Tartar, but afterwards found to be an Egyptian officer. Yesterday, the weather being unfavourable for practical exercise, the superior officers, from the major upwards, were called together for a theore tical lesson. I ani afraid theory will never mend things, for the Turks are not a theoretical people ; and however well they may arrange the longer and shorter pieces of wood representing squadrons and pelotons on the table, they will only be bewildered if they have to apply knowledge thus acquired to real squadrons and pelotons. Most of the officers work on theory alone, and knowing nothing of practical difficulties, they fall into absurdities. For instance, the other day at a manoeuvre the question arose which would be the best way to retire aft6r a charge. Some were for "threes or fours about," others for turning by pelotons. Now, whoever saw a good cavalry charge in reality must only smile at • this. Let any one who made the cavalry charge at Bajaklava be asked how he returned, and he will answer "As best I could." In such a mo ment of maddening excitement all that can be done is to collect again the men and make them form around a common centre, which is usually the standard guard which does not charge, or else, as the Russians do, or, at least, as they are ordered to do, to charge through and form on the other side. I think the best—at any rate, the most practical— instructions for the Turkish cavalry when charging, would be one in the style of the answer which, during the late Hungarian war, an old hussar gave to a recruit going through the sword exercise, who, after having learnt all the cuts, asked how he had to parry the cuts of the enemy, and to whom the old hussar answered, "Never mind the parry ing ; only you cut, and let the other parry." So the instruction for the Turkish cavalry ought to be, " Never mind about returning ; only you charge, and make the others turn." - 100 - 102 1 - ••• 1:34 - IL6 0 - 109 12 - 13 23 -- 24 114 - 24 - 2i 7 6 par ip 57 t.)9 130 133 74 - 3 - ' - 33 91 - 93 "CE STIARgf-! 100 - 102 ,90 -92 ii :9i 98 - 100 ••• - ••• 34 - 4 - 6i i - 1 i - 1 13 -13 i But, instead of following a few such simple and clear rules, which would be easily understood by every one, the poor Turkish cavalry, men and horses, are made to perform all the numerous evo lutions prescribed by their cavalry manual. This manual is a translation of an old French hand book, made for heavy European horses, entirely different from the small but fiery Turkish horses. They are excellent riders so far as sticking on goes, and falling from or with the horse, without which scarcely any great cavalry manoativre takes place in Europe, is unheard of in the Turkish cavalry. In order to get up full speed he pokes his rusty spurs into the sides of his steed and throws him back on his haunches by pulling as hard as he can on the heavy bit, by which he pro duces a forced irregular jumping, and drives the spirited horse to a degree of excitement quite in credible, then he leans forward with his body and goes off madly. They are all entire horses, most of them young, and nearly all with a good deal of Arab blood in their veins. Quiet as sheep when they are along, they get fearfully excited in company, and fall immediately into a kind of jogging walk. Under these circumstances, a regular trot becomes impossible even for the best rider. Regular move ments, as European cavalry understand them, would be only possible by breaking the ardour of the horses, and what would these small-sized horses then , do in a charge against weighty Dragoon horses ? Their only chance is in the celerity and violence of the impetus ; take that away, and they become baggage ponies. The people who formed the Turkish cavalry seem not to have known themselves whether they would form a light or a heavy cavalry. The Turkish cavalry is neither one nor the other. It has not celerity enough for the first and not weight enough for the second. The horses are, indeed, fleet and enduring enough for the best light cavalry in the world ; but on the backs of those horses are tall, strapping fellows, heavily armed, and drilled like French Chasseurs and Lancers. The idea seems to have been, Lancers and Chasseurs in France form the light cavalry ; consequently, if we organise them as they are we shall have a light cavalry. They are, indeed, light cavalry in comparison with Dra goons- and Cuirassiers, but, in comparison with Turkish horses, their horses are heavy. If, instead of adopting the heavy, unwieldy lance of European Lancers, which they do not know bow to wield, and which is rather an encumbrance than a weapon, they had kept the light cane lance from the banks of the Tigris, with which the Arabs hit the run ning bare and the fleetgazelle—if, instead ofimitating the European sabre and arming themselves with that nondescript toy -like weapon called a Turkish ca valry sabre, they had stuck to their scimitars, which they knew how to handle—if instead of try ing to stretch their legs and to balance the stirrup they had sat down in their saddles as their fathers did—if, instead of learning to trot or to retire en echelon, they had been taught to make the most of the speed and agility of their horses—if they had been accustomed to scour the enemy's country with that marvellous celerity which seemed to im part to the old Spahis the character of übiquity— if they had confided their evolutions to bold skir mishing, to rapid forming and charging at any point of the line of the enemy—then the Turkish cavalry would be what it ought to be—one of the most formidable cavalries in the world. 58 - 62 116 - 118 110 - 111 101 - 103 ip 6 - 97 - '9 90 - 92 op 94 10 - 11 17 - 17 10i 10-i 73 -75 19i - 20 9 - 10 14 -15 137 139 ••• •• 21 -• 3 i 13i - 13 - IP - 139 9r - !-t8 41 - EAIL , Tt TY, Bedford and Metellley Buckdtamsh.

It transpired in evidence given at an adjourned in quest, on Thursday last, that deceased, who was fifty years old, lived with his daughter, aged twenty, and two sons, aged seventeen and fourteen respectively, in one of the most 'wild ani dreary spots in Wales, upon the moun tains bet ween the villages of Llandegai and Llanddei niolen. About five mouths ago, the wife of the deceased, who was reputed a witch, died under somewhat suspi cious circumstances, and since then the family, who are very poor aid leplorably ignorant, have been greatly isolated, and have held little intercourse with the few cottagers in their vicinity. Suspicion of foul play having been awakened in consequence of the sudden illness of deceased, who evinced all the usual symptoms of having taken poison, a post mortem examination took place and Dr. Mu-pratt, of Liverpool, to whom the stomach of deceased was sent for analysis, has detected therein the presence of a large quantity of arsenic, more than suffi cient to cause death. The prisoner, Dorothy Williams, deposed that the day before her father's death he remained in bed complaining - of being chilly ; that in the evening, on the return of her brothers from the quarry, he rose and partook with the rest of some boiled bread and buttermilk. He then asked for some treacle, which she reached, and he put a table spoonful into his cup. He ate little and vomited it directly. She ate what remained in his cup. She had previously that day made him a treacle and buttermilk posset ; and at his request again made one, collecting some camomile flowers that were scattered in a drawer, and boiling them in it. During the night he complained of great pain, and vomited constantly. He died about the forenoon next day. She sent her eldest brother for assistance, but he could not obtain any until too late. The evidence given by David Williams, the son, dif fered considerably from that of his sister, and was given in a dubious and unsatisfactory manner. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of wilful murder against Dorothy Williams. It is ex pected that the body of the deceased's wife will be exhumed. As a proof of the lamentable ignorance which pre vailed in the family, we may notice the fact that the prisoner produced a large piece of parchment covered with jumbled characters and letters, forming no words whatever, which had been obtained as a charm against other parties obtaining possession of their cottage. AUST RALASIAN PACIFIC MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY. An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, to consider the recommendation of the directors for the amount of compensation to be given to the officers of the company, on the winding up of its affairs, in compliance with a resolution of the annual meeting of February last, The. CHAIRMAN (Mr. G. Hibbert) read a short report of the bcard, in which it was stated that, after carefully considering the services and merits of the parties in terested, the board had determined to recommend that the sum of 2,362/. should he divided amongst them, and apportioned as follows :—A. testimonial of the value of 250 guineas to Mr. Currie : 1,2001., the amount of two years' salary, to the secretary, Mr. Wetton ; 5001. to Captain Small ; and 2001. each to Mr. Saunders, the accountant, and Mr. Beardmore, the chief clerk of the company. As regarded the general position of affairs, the chairman added that there were still some claims pending between the company and the government, but every effort was being made to arrive at a speedy settle ment. He concluded by moving that the distribution which he had read should ba carried out. The motion having been seconded, a long discussion ensued as to the amount which ought to be awarded, several proprietors contending that the proposal of the directors was profuse ; and an amendment was moved by Mr. SPURT and seconded by Mr. WEBSTER to reduce the amount to 1,2001., exclusive of the testimonial to Mr. Currie. Mr. HOLLAND addressed the meeting, in opposition to the motion, on behalf of a number of Liverpool share holden, and contended that legally there could be no gratuities at all. The amendment, on being put to a show of hands, was supported by only five persons, and was rejected by a large majority. The original motion was then car ried, there being 21 hands in favour of and 12 against it. After the division Mr. Holland handed in a protest against the payment of the money. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. M NEWS-(TIIIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. The show of wheat in to-day's market was hut moderate, and almost wholly the refuse of Monday's supply.

The Indemnity, from Melbourne, anchored, and did not tow through, as stated last night. The amount received by the Government as pro ceeds of the new loan is 5,000,0001. Of this sum 4,000,0001. consists of the 10 per cent, deposit and the subsequent instalment of 15 per cent., and 1,00"),0001. has been derived from holders who have paid up all the instalments in anticipation, so as to be enabled to meet the demand for stock which has prevailed during the past three or four weeks, THE RUSSIANS IN THE CRIMEA. Without falling into the fond error of underrat ing a newly-defeated adversary one may entertain the conviction that after all that we have lately heard of the efficiency of the Russian army in the Crimea, and after months of downright strenuous exertion on the part of the Czar and his generals, that army is in no better condition to encounter the battalions of France and England under the ordinary conditions of warfare than when it first encountered them on the Alma. Possibly the pro-Russian journals of Germany may not exaggerate when they state that Prince Gort schakoff disposes of 150,000 fighting menin the Crimea, but the information which reaches us of the state of feeling in the Russian ranks is of more im portance than the evidence of ten thousand human machines, more or less under the orders of the Rus sian general. It appears by letters from Sebasto pol, which have reached Vienna, that the services of the spies, of which Prince Gortschakoff makes so much use, are not an unmixed advantage. The Tar tars, Croats, and Greeks, who contrive to pass be tween the camps, tell others besides the General of the abundance of our resources, the facility of our provisionment, the certain approach of reinforce ments, and the calm confidence of our soldiers. These, thanks to Prince Gortschakoff, aro matter of stealthy depressing conversation among the Russian common soldiers, with whom after all the defence of the Crimea must rest. The march of the Allies on the Tchernaya transpires as the sub ject of expectation in private letters from the Rus sian camp, as early as the 7th inst. The return of the first expedition from Kertch we learn, in the same way, did not raise th e s pi r it of the Russians in proportion to the .depression which it wrought in our men, for the trip was regarded as a demon stration of our superabunda nce o f f orce, as well as of the ease with which the Russian territory could be menaced. The preparations made for the interior and ultimate defence of Sebastopol have produced an unfavourable impression upon the garrison. Until these last few weeks the troops believed their officers, who assured them that the French and English, hemmed in on all sides, and weakened by privation and disease, were really the be siege d , and were destine 1, upon the arrival of enormous reinforcements from Pere kop, to be driven into the sea. The renewed bom bardment, and the infantry attacks in front of the Central and Quarantine Bastions, as well as the near approach of the French to the Flagstaff Bas tion, have dissipated this delusion, and the mass of the troops have lapsed into moody sullenness and distrust. This temper may not disqualify them for offering a dogged resistance when hard pressed; the severe Russiatt discipline may domina ite t as long as the men are kept in line, even under fire, but rooted distrust knows no elan, and is fatal to that moral as cen d anc y which, in close encounters, asserts itself by victory.—Morning paper. ADULTERATION OF BEER.-At the Exeter Guildhall, on Thursday, before a bench of magistrates, a complaint was preferred against a publican named Keetb, of the Three Tuns, by the Board of Excise , , for adulterating his beer with grains of paradise, camomile flowers, and gentian. The defendant had offered to pay 2001.. to compromise the matter, but the Board of Excise eec sidered that it ought to be brought publicly before the magistrates, although they did not press for the full penalty of 4001. and the forfeiture of all his plaut,which, according to the act, they were entitled to do. , A miti gated penalty of 2001. was inflicted. THE LATE MILITARY ",TOKINC."- LIEUT. WEBSTER'S DEFENCE. (From the South-Eastern Gazette.) Another chapter in the "disgraceful proceedings" that have rendered the Canterbury depot of the Ist Royals and the Inniskilling Dragoons notorious ! Lieutenant Webster has "rushed into print." In the absence of more exciting occupation, the ex•a'ljutant takes up the cudgels in self-defence. Why shoult: he be maligned ? did he not concoct the duel? did he not urge Baumgarten to "call Evans out ?" did he not with his own hands write the challenge ? did he not enact the character of second to the insulted cornet in the farce ? did he not order the poor sergeant (Brodie) under arrest ? did he not press the charge against him with the utmost per tinacity ? And did not Lieut. Webster do this with the best intentions ? But let the modest unassuming gen tleman tell his ow❑ tale. After three weeks' considera tion, the gallant lieutenant has ventured an exculpatory letter, in reply to the strictures to which he has been subjected, more especially those contained in a leading article in the Daily News of April 30th. This letter appeared in that paper on Wednesday last, and, after denying all knowledge of the ",practical jokes," or that he made "any set at Baumgarten, on his joining the depot, and expressing his opinion that "in assisting that officer to obtain that satisfaction which the annoyances he received justified, he did nothing deserving the title of ungentlemanly conduct,'" Lieutenant Webster pro ceeds : " I now come to a part of your article which is par ticularly painful to pie to contradict, as I cannot well do so without appearing to cast a slur upon a man who has gained sorre notoriety for his conduct on the morning in question (of the duel). I will, however, in justice to myself, give a brief outline of what occurred. On my first meeting Sergeant Brodie I asked him quietly what he was doing there, and received such insolent and in subordinate replies that I felt it my duty to order him into arrest. This he refused to submit to, accompanying the refusal with more insolent remarks, and started off across the fields at a run. I procured a file of the gnarl and followed. A person then came to me and advised me to be cautious, as Sergeant Brodie had armed himself with a large bill-hook, and declared he would cut down the first man that approached him. I then cautioned the guard of this, and on app roac hi ng Sergeant Broiie I told th em , should he resist, to use the butt-end of their carbines. Sergeant Brodie did not give himself up a prisoner, but stood with one hand behind him, which I imagined to contain the hook. I then told the guard to take him; and again ordered them, should h e resist, to knock him d own w i t h the butt -end of their carbines. I then saw that he had previously dropped the hook, and he was marched to the guard-room. I have refrained from giving the language he made use of then, as I at tributed it to intoxication. Previously to marching off he stated to Lieut. Hartopp, in my hearing, that he was intoxicated the previous night."

At about 2 a.m. of the 29th, the ship going over the ground at the rate of 14 miles per hour, pointed for the passage and apparently clear of the reef off Quicara, as laid down upon the captain's charts, she struck full and fair. The captain was on deck himself, speaking with Mr. Aspinwall, as indeed he had been all night, and doing all that a skilful and prudent navigator could to guide his ship in safety. The sea was calm and smooth, without any appearance or indication of hidden danger. Instantly, upon striking, an immense volume of water rushed into her forward ; the pumps were all put in im mediate requisition, boats cleared away, &c. In five minutes the engineer reported the water ri.ing with great sapidity, utterly beyond all efforts of the pumps. At this time we bad 15 feet forward and 17 fathoms aft and amidships. The captain's first intention of landing his passengers was instantly frustrated by the rapidity of the rise of the water in the hold, and her setting aft from the depth of water amidships and aft, which cir cumstance rendered it imperative to drive full length on the reef. At this instant she rolled heavily, and her bow fell off the reef or rock. Having a good head of steam, Watkins deter m i ne d t o run on a little fur ther or the mainreef, which he knew lay a short distance ahead. Upon starting, she rolled heavily from side to side, and steered wildly. coming -to too much, and striking a second time. He backed her off, keeping her stem clear, and again went ahead, running along the reef, delaying his purpose of beaching her so long as he had steam to force her ahead until he should find a spot offering the best chance of saving his passengers. Of course, time flew, and thus passed another five minutes, the water up to the furnaces of the port boiler, and above those of the starbcard one—all the fires of the latter out. She still had steam in the boilers—the engineers and firemen up to their necks in water in the fire-room. A few hundred yards ahead we could make out a small cove, beyond the point of the island, bighted apparently with a sandbeach. The steamer still went on, under com mand of ler helm, the water still gaining above the pumps, bailing, &c. Another five minutes, and the balance of the fires were out. We had about 100 yards yet to go to our cove, which we were now nearly abreast of. The captain put his helm bard aport, and headed right on the beach—the water along the side continued deep, and the engine turned over very slowly. On we went, sounding ten fathoms, six fathoms, and finally she stopped, her bow within 30 feet of the shore, but so slow was she moving that no one felt the stop. We had 17 feet all round. The boilers had only steam enough left to make some two or three revolutions. After our first feeling of gratitude to Almighty God for our deliverance from a sudden and fearful danger—from the Arctic's fate—we paid a tribute in admiration to Watkins for his admirable coolness, presence of mind and great efficiency, quick thought., and prompt action. The reef or rock on which she struck could not, in my opinian, have had more than a foot less water on it than the steamer drew, so that a little less draught of water, or a full tide, would have taken her all clear. It appears to me to be a sunken rock or reef, lying off the main reef, which makes out from the north-west point of Quicara. So far as can be ascertained the only injury is forward, the scarf of stem and keel being the spot. The wood ends here are doubtless stove in. Watkins has had large pumps constructed, being, of course, unable to work any of those attached to the engine by steam. He got a sail around the bows, but as yet has been unable to get it under her from her taking in the sand. Last night he tried his full force of pumps, those he had con structed, together with that worked by the " donkey" engine, for which there is a separate boiler. The result showed that the rise of the water with the tide was only one-half of the rise when no pumps were employed. Hence by discharging double the quantity of water he is now able to do he can free her entirely, float her, and secure the sail under her bottom properly—all this he proposes to do ; also the constructi on o f a co ff er d am , which will, perhaps, enable him to plug up and copper over the hole. Thus the chances are good for his saving the shit,. He certainly will leave no stone unturned."— Panama Herald of May 2. IMPORTANT OMNIBUS QUESTION. At the Efarnrnersmith Police-court, yesterday, Mr. Alfred Evans, of the Ravenscourt Arias, West-end, Hammersmith, appeared before Mr. Paynter to answer a summons for refusing to pay a.. omnibus fare under the following circum-tances :—William Finch, conductor of one of th e R ed or Hammersmith omnibuses, deposed : —That on th e n i ght in omnibus near liensingt l o u n e -a st (iir°en, t : h u e , d d e f upon enda nh his he ail en te d r i h n i g s the vehicle with a friend witness told him that the omni busit was the last omnibus runnins. did not go any further than the Broadway upon the road, passengers alighted, and and he had received instructions from %the proprietor always to finish the journey at the Broadway. On reaching that place ad the witness told the d e f en d ant that they were at the Broadway. He got ou t an d refused to ply the fare unless witness took him t o th e White Ham, opposite Scott's Park, in Hammersmith, about three-quarters of a mile further. Witness told him that he h a d previously acquainted hi m w ith th e f ac t that their last journey finished at the Broadway. The defendant then went away refusing to pay his own fare and that of his friend.—De fendantsaid he had hrougl t this matter forward upon pub lic grounds. He did not complain of this omnibus in parti cular, but of the others. Their starting-place was from the White Hart, and be contended that they were bound to finish their journey at that place; but instead of doing so they were in the habit of finishing some of their jour neys at the Broad way, and refusing to go any further. If the omnibus contained ladies who lived iu the neighbour hood of the White Hart, they were compelled to walk the remainder of the distance, and very often got wet through in consequence. • His friend had been served in that manner several times. Mr. Paynter wished to know if the defendant lived near the White Hart ? The Defendant paid he lived near Scott's Park, which was not far from the White Hart. Mr. Alfred Cloud, one of the proprietorrnethe Hammersmith Omnibus As sociation, said there had been a general order of the proprietors for several years that the journey of the last omnibus should finish at the Broadway. His omnibus did not reach the Broadway until a quarter past one o'clock in the morning, and his stables were in Fulham ; it was inconsistent to wish his men to be up half the night, which would he the case if the omnibus had to go to the White Hart, for it would have to return again to the Broadway on its way to the stables. He argued that if a passenger was told before entering where the omnibus would stop be could not say he was deceived, and that the con ductor was not bound to take him any further hthan the place he h a d men ti one d.—M r. P aynter sa i d was satisfied th a t no d r i ver or con d uctor could but whether a proprietor b a d th e p ower th at was an bra ak the journey an d fi n i s h it w h ere h e p l eased, other question. What he bad to d ec id e was w h et h er an omnibus proprietor, who had en t ere d i n t o a contract with the public to run a certain distance, could enter into a fresh one by finishing the journey at another P• lace If that were so they cou ld fi n i s h t h e j ourney at any place upon the road ; but he could not see, if the Excise allowed them to run as many journeys as they thought proper, why they should be allowed to run part of a journey. It was a very doubtful question, and he should like to have time to consider it.—The summons was then adjourned fcr a week. THE LATE CHARGIf OF INHUMANITY AGAINST A PARISH OFFICER. Yesterday, at a general meeting o the Board of Di rectors and Guardians of the Poor of St. Pancras, held in the Vestry-hall, King's-road, Camden-town, Benj. J. E. Wright, Esq., in the chair, Mr. Cook, the clerk to the board, read the following communication from the Poor-law Board : 1 "Poor-law Board, Whitehall, Nay 23, 1855. " Sir ,—I am directed by the Poor-law Board to trans mit to you, for the consideration of the directors of the poor of the parish of St. Pancras, the enclosed report, ex tracted from the _Daily Naas of the 22nd inst., of an in quest held on the body of John Dewdnoy, decear.ed ; and I am directed to request that the board may be furnished 1 with any observaliJta which the directors may be desirous of making thereon.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " COURTENAT, Secretary." Mr. Stockton moved that the letter be acknowledged, and that the Poor-law bor.rd be informed that the ques tion had been referred to the vestry for its consideration. Mr. Turner could not consent to such a course as this. There wt-ii a very serious charge made against an officer who was entrusted with administering relief to the poor. The question had been originally brought under the no tice of the board of directors, and he bad moved for a copy of the shorthand writer's notes of the evidence ; that evidence had been printed, and was in the hands of every member of the board ; he therefore did hope that some notice would be taken of the matter which was agitating the whole parish. Mr. Cook, the clerk, produced the minutes of evidence, as furnished by the shorthand writer, a copy of which had been sent to each director and vestryman. After a few observations from Mr. Wilby, it was re solved, upon the motion of Mr. Howlett, that the mat ter be referred to the vestry. CARDIGAN FISHERIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. Cardigan, May 28, 1855. Sir{,--I am again under the disdgreeable necessity of bringing to your notice, and that. of the public at large, the jealousy and bad blood still existing amongst .the lower orders in this neighbourhood, especially amongst the fishermen of St. Darnell's, the most drunken and demoralised set in this country, being worse off every winter when they have a good fishing than when they have a bad one. This mulch I have heard from the ma gistrates and guardians of the Veion-hoUse, that they consider the fishery to the St. Degmell's men a curse rather than a*blassing—spending their money as they do, ' after a good day's fishing, in drink, then fighting a n d swearing for the rest of the day, an d the winter throw• ing their families on the Union. Anything like improve. ment in this part can never be carried on, especially by Scotchmen, Irishmen, or Englishmen, for all but Welsh men are called adventurers and abused. I have now to bring to your knowledge another plan the cowardly con federates have hit upon to annoy Mr. Ewen, of Gobert, whose property was cut away only a few weeks since— that of Failing through his nets with smacks constantly trading between this port and Milford with limestone.

Mftwrin.........-- _ Joseph Quantril, farm bailiff to •'Messrs. Collard, at Old Park Farm, deposed—On the morning the duel was to take place I was near the grq,vel pit, looking at my brother, James Quantril, and Job,' Lines, at work in the pit. Sergeant Brodie came up to the bank, and said. "Men come here." I laughed at him at first. He repeated it, and added, "Men, come here, you don't know the consequences." I said to the men, "He wants one of you —he doesn't want me." Brodie then said, "Here are two men going to kill o ne anoth e r ; th ey are going to commit murder ; if you don't stop it we shall all be pulled up and transported." I then went to the sergeant ; he was as sober as a judge. I looked carefully at him. No man could be any soberer. Brown, a woodman, was present, and when Serge an t B ro die asked us to take the officer (Baumgarten) he took the bill out of the woodman's hand, saying, " You had better let me have the bill or you may injure yourselves with it if there is a scuffle."
