LAW INTELLIGENCE---This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. :Sittings in Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice Cock- burn and a special jury.) THE QUEEN Y, V/HITHURST. This case, which created considerable interest some time ago, it will be recollected, was an indictment preferred by a gentleman named Rogers, a cornet in the Dragoons, against Mr. Whithurst, a solicitor at the West end, charging him with writing and sending a letter of an extremely disgusting nature, and making an appointment to meet him at the archway in the Green Park, when, the prosecutor having communicated with the police, the result was the present proceedings. An indictment was preferred against him at the Central Criminal Court, but it was re moved by certiorari into this court, and at the sitting after last term the special jury summoned were in attendance for eight days, but the case was not mentioned until the ter mination of the sitting, and it was made a remanet until after this term. The defendant appeared in pursuance of his recog nisances. Mr. Sergeant Shea, with Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Pope Hennessy, and Mr. F. H. Lewis, instructed by Lewis and Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the defendant. On the jury having been sworn, No prosecutor appearing or counsel for him, The Lord Chief Justice asked where the prosecutor was, and whether he was not represented by counsel ? Mr. Sergeant Shee said that neither himself nor his learned friend had heard that any ono appeared. The Lord Chief Justice—Was any one bound over to prosecute ? if so, the recognisances must be estreated. Mr. Sergeant Shee replied that so one was bound over to prosecute. The Lord Chief Justice then informed the jary that there was no case to be proceeded with, and the defendant must be acquitted. The foreman of the jury complained that they had been in attendance for eight days, at the last sitting uselessly. The Lord Chief Justice asked whose the jury was ? Mr. Sergeant Shee said the defendant's, and they would be paid accordingly. The defendant then left the court with the party of friends by whom ho was surrounded. DIVORCE COURT. (Before the Judge Ordinary,) BENNETT V. BENNETT. This was a suit instituted by the wife, formerly a Miss Fletcher, the daughter of a lady of fortune, formerly resid ing at Upton Park, Slough, against Mr. Robert Barker Bennett, a gentleman of independent means, for dissolution of marriage, by reason of his adultery and desertion. There was no appearance, or denial of either the adultery or desertion. Dr. Spinks said the present was a case of a very cruel description. ' The marriage took place in 1856, and the parties afterwards went to Leamington, St. Leonard's, and Brighton, and on their return to town he took his wife to lodgings in Conduit-street, although his residence was at Bloomfield Lodge, Notting-hill, Bayswater. They resided together until the end of 1857, and then the last she saw of him was in February, 1858, except over in Paris, in 1860. He should be able to prove the respondent had all along been residing with another female, by whom he had two children, of 15s. I owards the close of last year plaintiff sent him to order some oranges and nuts. Cross-examined by Mr. Butler Rigby, for defendant— All the other goods are booked. The strawberries and cream are not. I never had grapes for the nuts and oranges. Defendant sued me for an account for fruit supplied to me - . Miss Alexander, attendant in plaintiff's shop, said that plaintiff and his wife were invited to take some strawberries and cream, but it was intended to charge for them. Mr. Rigby then called his client, who deposed to having personally delivered certain grapes at plaintiff's shop. Did not include them in the fruit account because it was a small affair, and he considered it settled by the oranges and nuts. As to the strawberries and cream, it arose in this wa) —when defendant used to call to get a settlement of his account, plaintiff used to say, "All right, my dear sir, sit down and have some strawberries and cream." (Great laughter.) _ His Honour—lt was a ♦ery agreeable kind of bribery. (Renewed laughter.) Mr, Rigby—A very agreeable and seasonable kind on July. (Great laughter.) His Honour was bound to believe defendant's version when he found everything booked but these items, and he should find for defendant. Mr. Rigby—Now, sir, I apply for costs. His Honour—Oh no. You have had your strawberries and crown. (Laughter.) Verdict for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE AT A NIGHT DEN IN THE HAYMARKET.— Catherine Harrison, a young woman, was charged with assaulting Thomas Howard, the keeper of a night refresh ment house at 51, Haymarket. The complainant said—l keep a refreshment house at 51, Haymarket. The prisoner has been in my service, but in consequence of her conduct I discharged her, after paying her her wages, and last night she assaulted me. Nathan Leech, 324 A, said—At half•past eight last night I was called to the house— Mr. Yardley—ls it a night house, and the resort of dis orderly prostitutes ? Leech—lt is, sir. The complainant and the prisoner were fighting, he having hold of her hands, and she having hold of his hair. The prisoner tried to strike the com plainant and to scratch him. At an earlier hour last even ing I had been called to the place to separate the com plainant and the prisoner when they were engaged fighting. There was a large mob round the door, and the same scenes have been going on nightly between the complainant and the prisoner for a fortnight past. Prisoner—l lived with him, and when I came out of pri son he came after me and took me home with him, and I lived with him for five weeks. Complainant—The other night, notwithstanding that she promised to behave herself, and I was actuated by the desire to save her, she threatened to thrash us all, and she did so to rights. I then got rid of her. I afterwards went out for a walk and then met her, and she asked me to take her back, and I did so. AMERICA. (Per the Heels.) SOUTHAMPTON, NOV. 25.

THE CRAWLEY COURT MARTIAL. EIGHTH DAY. [The following appeared in the Third Edition of Th c , Sun" of last evening] : ALDERSHOT, Wednesday. The proceedings were resumed this morning, the members being all present with the exception of Lieut.-Col. Lodder, of the 59th Regiment, who was certified to be suffering from an attack of lumbago, which confined him to bed, and would prevent his resuming his duties at the court martial proceedings. Sergeant Major Lilley had not been in confinement, are you aware of any medical reason for supposing that he would have died where he did ? Colonel Crawley objected to the unfairness of the ques. tion as it had been put. Colonel Sir A. Horsford—l will put another form. In your opinion were there any predisposing causes for the heat apoplexy ? Witness—Sergeant Major Lilley was an enormously stout man, and predisposed to congestion. Examination continued—Witness made a medical report of Sergeant Major Lilley's case to Dr. Turnbull. (The report was read, and stated that Sergeant Major Lilley was 37 years and 4 months old, had been in the service 18 years and 4 months. Disease apoplexy. A strong muscular man, who always previously enjoyed good health.) Witness also made a detailed medical report of the case in conjunc.. tion with Dr. Turnbull. Mr. Syms recalled and produced the copy of the report— The last paragraph stated that the excessive heat at this period of the year, and the constitutional predisposition of the deceased to congestion, the peculiar and painful circumstances of his position, the serious illness of his wife occasioning depression of spirits, together with bilious and nervous derangement, induced by a sedentary foohsequent upon c l ose arrest in a man of the sergeant major'se active habits, prob a bl y acted as an exciting cause l t i oprouce the complaint from which he died.

WIIMUL DAMAGE AT A TAVERN.—MAKING A Vow.— Ellen Lee, a middle-aged woman of dissipated appearance, was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of glass, value 305., at the house of Mr. Mainwaring, the Thrae Tuns, Broadway, Westminster. Coraplainant said that the defendant came to his house last evening, and having made use of most indecent lan guage he ordered her to leave the house, but she continued her misconduct and refused.

THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY AND FATAL AFFRAY AT WILTON'S MUSIC HALL.—Peter Melly, a professional singer, who has been for some time one of the leading men at Wilton's large music hall, Wellelose-square, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with manslaughter, in killing and slay ing Thomas Bunn, a North Sea pilot. The case excited a considerable amount of interest, and nearly the whole of the corps dramatique of the music hall, with the proprietor and manager, were in attendance. _ Mr. Lewis, jun. (firm Lewis and Lewis) attended for the prisoner, who was very ill and agitated, and at the request of the solicitor he was accommodated with a seat, into which he had to be supported by the officers near him. The widow of the deceased was led into court in a fainting condition. She was sobbing loudly, and was also accom modated with a seat near the witness-box. Police-Sergeant Prior, No. 2 H, said that last night at half-past 11 o'clock a man came to the station-house in Leman-street and made a statement which induced him to send a police-constable to Witten's Music-hall, and the pr loner was brought back in half an hour and chat ged with manslaughter. He cautionedthe prisoner, and told him he was charged with causing the death of a min. The prisoner made no reply. _ _ Mr. Barnett Salomon, cigar maker, of Newcastle-place, Whitechapel, was in Wilton's Music Hall last night at 15 minutes past 10 o'clock. He was stationed at the end of the hall near the stair. The prisoner was on the stage singing an encore song. The deceased, who was present with his wife and was not sober, lifted up his hand and said "shut up." The prisoner appeared much annoyed at the inter ruption, and deceased again called out shut up. The pri soner threw his hat at the deceased, who made some insult ing observations. The prisoner then jumped off the stage, an d attacked the deceased, and hit him about the nec k and shoulders. Much bustle and consternation taken place. Th e prisoner his prof ess i ona l career that ensued a n m er gotong the audience, i n the m i dst of which upon the stage, ag a i n attempted to make a s peech, and said he w as v er y sor ry for what had occurred, and made an attempt to s p eak a few more words, but was unable to do so. that it anything time o t f he th fi e rs in t .ndhad d d ur ta in By Mr. Woolrych —l was not aware an y t hing serious had happened until an hour afterwards, when I heard the man who was struck was dea d . Michael Harris, a traveller, gave similar evidenc e . H e saw the prisoner leave the stage and strike the dec ease d, who was sent home in a c ab, and died on the way there. Mr. Lewis, jun.—Did you hear the observations made by the deceased ? Witness—l did not, si r . Other evidence was go ne into, and it appeared deceased was very disorderly, an d challenged the prisoner to leave the stage and fight him, an d that he died almost imme diately after he was struck. Mr. James Sequeria, surgeon, of Munsell-street, White - Mr. chapel, went to the deceased's house in St. Mark-street, Whitechapel, last night, and found him dead. There was a little puffiness about the Lbs.& of the head. It was more the result o f abl than anything else. Re ow could not state what wa s the cause of the death. Mr. Lewis, jun., said he had many witnesses to call who would prove the riotous and provoking conduct of the de ceased and his insulting observations. No one could be more sorry for what had happened than the prisoner. Mr. Wilton also regretted very much such a thing should have happened. Mr. Wilton had been in the chair near the stage for three hours and a half, and had only just retired when this melancholy affair happened, There were upwards of 1,200 persons in t he hall. It was a benefit night. He could not resist a re mand, but he hoped bail would be taken. Mr. Woolyrch remanded the prisoner until Monday, and said at this stage of t h e investigation he would not take bail. The deceased was 49 years of age, of a full habit of body, and u p to the period of his visit to the hall last night was in tolerably good health.

General Meade's report of the battle of Gettys burg has been published. He capturned 3 guns, 13,000 prisoners. The Federal loss amounted to 23,000 killed, wounded, and missing. The majority of the judges of the Supreme Court of p onmy l van ia has declared the Conscription Act unconstitutional. NEW YORK, Nov. 14 (Morning). Advices from Gen. Meade, dated yesterday, state that the Confederates were shell ing Kilpatrick's camp, near Stevensburg, showing that Lee has forces north of the Rapidan. Official advices from Chattanooga and Knoxville to the 13th inst. report all quiet. The information received concerning General Burnside's position is said to be favourable. Bragg has granted 30 days ' furlough to the far mers of the State of Georgia who are in the army, to allow them to sow their wheat. Confederate despatches from Europe, lately cap tured, are said to represent the Confederate pro spects in Europe as unfavourable. A Federal agent has left for Canada to investi gate the Confederate conspiracy just discovered there. A large military force and a gunboat has been sent to defend Fort Johnson in case of attack.

FRANKFORT, Nov. 25.—Emphatic denial from a reliable source is given to the statement of the Vienna papers, that Prussia and Austria had sent identical instructions to their representatives at the Federal Diet, that, as the offspring of a morganatic marriage, Duke Frederick of Augustenburg had no hereditary claim to the Duchies. The marriage having been proved, Mrs. Marian Fletcher, the mother of the petitioner, said —I knew the respondent in the spring of the year before his marriage with my daughter. He was a gentleman of independent means, and resided at Bloomfield Lodge, Not ting-hill. I and my daughter had visited there before the marriage. After the wedding my daughter and her hus band commenced a tour. They went to Cheltenham, Leamington, St. Leonard's, and Brighton, from thence they returned to town, and 'went to reside at Mr. Payne's, in Conduit-street. They were absent I should think about a month. I received a letter from Brighton to meet my daughter and Mr. Barker Bennett at Bloomfield Lodge with luggage. .1 went there, but was refused admittance by the housekeeper, Mrs. North, and the luggage was turned from the door. I then went to the hotel and met my daughter, Mr. Bennett and my daughter went to reside at Bloomfield Lodge, and remained there until September, when they went to reside in St, George's square, Pimlico, and resided there until the autumn in the following year, 1857, when Mr. Bennett sold off the furni ture, left the place, and went to Liverpool on a visit to his friends at Manchester and Liverpool. At the Christmas of that year I invited Mr. Bennett and my daughter to spend the holidays with me at Upton Park. My daughter came, but Mr. Bennett did not come until February, and then he made the excuse that he could not leave his son, we believing at that time that it was a child by a former wife. Mr. Ben nett's manner was strange and rambling, and made no allu sion as to his wife's future residence, in fact we could get no satisfactory answer from him ; and, after being there about half an hour, he left, merely bowing. He did not shake hands with me or my daughter, and we did not see him again until I went, in 1860, with my daughter, from something we had heard, to Paris, :and there saw Mr. Bennett and his son at a boarding-house. We spoke to him, but he merely replied, "You are on the wrong scent in expecting to find the woman I was living with in London in September, 1862." I and my daughterlmet him at the Spa at Scarborough. My daughter did not speak to him, but he spoke to me, and said he had no desire to disguise the manner he was living. In July last Mr. Bennett came to my house in Welbeck-street, and behaved in a very low and vulgar manner, and said if ho did not have money to speni, and that if I did not give him £5OO he would have my life. His conduct was very violent and his language coarse. I ordered him to leave the house, and I did not see him again until I saw him at the police court, where he was bound over by Mr. Arnold to keep the peace. By the Judge—When Mr. Bennett came to my house in February, 1858, he gave no reason whatever for his con duct, or what he was going to do for his wife. Mr. Alfred Collinson, surgeon, of Notting-hill, proved attending a lady in her confinement in 1860, at 310, Mary lebene-road ; a Mrs. North appeared to be the housekeeper. He saw a gentleman, whom he supposed was the father ; when he called on him he gave the name of Bennett, the lady's name he understood was Berkeley. The petitioner was not the lady he attended. Several witnesses were called to prove the respondent had been living with another lady at Hampton-wick, and other places. Mrs. Bennett, the petitioner, was called to prove the pleu of desertion. She said—l first became acquainted with the respondent in 1856, in which year I was married to him. We went to Cheltenham for a week after the ceremony, and from there to St. Leonard's. When we came to London we went to Bloomfield Lodge, and stayed there about a month. I found no one in the house but a gardener, and I then went to live in St. George's-square, and from thence I went to my mother's house at Slough for the Christmas holidays. 1 travelled alone. By the Judge—The only excuse he gave for not aoming to Upton Park at Christmas was that ho was engaged at home with his son, and that he would not have me at home with the boy. He only remained an hour, and when I askedhim where he was going, he said to London, and that I must remain with my mother. He gave me no address, and the only letter 1 ever had was one enclosing a £5 note for the payment of a small bill. At the time I married him I believed Mr. Bennett to be a widower. The reason I did not reside with him in London was because he always refused to allow me to come where his boy was. I then became fearful that his first wife might be alive. He wrote a number of letters aboat the mother of his son, but they invariably contradicted each other. I recollect the address of one of the letters was Marylebone-toad. He told me in one of the communi cations that he positively would not have me under the same roof as his child. He absented himself until February in the following year, when he came down to Slough, and after stopping about half an hour, he left with out taking the slightest notice about ,my returning home I never saw my husband again until I saw him in Paris and Scarborough. The court granted a decree nisi with costa. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) RE W. L. T. TOLLEMACHE. This was a. meeting for choice of a new assignee under the estate (of this bankrupt, generally known as Lord Huntingtower. The bankruptcy took place as fat back as 1846. The new choice became necessary in consequence of the death of the assignee originally appointed. Lord Hunt ingtower was present, and appeared to take great interest in the proceedings. Mr. Cunningham said that the meeting had become ne cessary in consequence of the death of the:former assignee, and he also stated that there was a prospect of a dividend shortly. „ His Honour—" Shortly I" That is a word of somewhat doubtful signification in this court. Mr. Chidley tendered a proof on behalf of Mr. M‘Ritchie for a sum of £1,208. It appeared that be had paid £BOO to the holder of an acceptance of Lord Huntingtower for £l,OOO in the expectation of realising £2OO in the shape of dit.count, but was disappointed, and had to bring an act i on and recovered judgment for £ 1,028, for which sum he now claimed to prove. His Honour was of opinion that the judgment must be received before the proof could be admitted, but a claim might be entered to be expunged, unless turned into proof within six months from the present date. ;There was no discussion on the choice.

This was an action to recover a small amount for goods supplied, plaintiff being a fruiterer of Gracechurch•street , and defendant a schoolmaster of lielvetion. Mr. Gammun, for the plaintiff, said he believed that the only item in dispute was that relating to certain straw berries and cream for which plaintiff charged 15s.

A LEARNED E CHO . In the course o f l as t sum mer, some strangers of distinction were induced to visit Rothiemurchus, from the report they hears of an " echo" remarkable for the clear and distinct nature of its reverberations. On reaching the spot whence the trial of its power is usually made, their guide put his hand to the sides of his mouth, and bawled out wi th the lun g s of a Ste tor a salutation in Gaelic, wh i c h was repeated with a preci sion that seemed beyon d the ex pectations of the party. O ne of the gentlemen, by wa y of trying t h e str ength of his voice, put his hands to the side of his ow far mouth in the same manner as the guide, and ca lled out, H are we from h ome r' These words, much to the astonishment of their conductor ' were also repeate d. Then poor Donald, with a sim p licity w hi c h brought a smile over the natty, said—'" Y ou may think it strang e, g entlemen, but this is the first time Iheard the echo speak English. She must be well instructed." As further proof of the increasing interest of France in German art and literature, the latest number of the Revue des Deus; Itlondes contains • an article by Charles de Remusat, of the Institute, " Munich, l' Art par la Cri tique," and anothe r b y Emile Montegut, "The Philosophy of Goethe's Meister.' " The following evidence was taken Sergeant John Gibson recalled and cross-examined by Col. Crawley—My wife attended Mrs. Lilley in her last illness, and gave her both brandy and medicine. She also rubbed liniment into Mrs. Lilley's chest and shoulders. My wife is not here. Colonel Sir Alfred Horsford, official prosecutor, requested that the cross-examination of Private Reynolds, yesterday, might be read over, and Colonel Pipon, officiating Judge advocate, read it aloud accordingly. Mr. E. G. Syms, confidential clerk in the Adjutant General's office, Horse Guards, produced a letter from Col. Crawley, which was read as follows : (Immediate.) Mhow, 4th June, 1862. From Lieut. Col, Crawley, Commanding 6th Dragoons, to the Assistant Adjutant General, M.B.A. Sir,—With reference to the telegram received this day on the subject of which the major general commanding has called for explanation, I have the honour to state that the three sergeant majors of the Inniskilling Dragoons were placed in close arrest with the sanction of the major general, which was afterwards confirmed by his Excellency the Commander in Chief ; that in consequence of the impossi bility of preventing communication being held with the prisoners by parties in the interest of the prisoner (Pay masterSmales) it was deemed advisable to place the sentries in the room with the prisoners —not only to avoid the expo sure of the sentries to the rain and hot winds, but to prevent the witnesses being tampered with during the remainder of the trial. In the case of the regimental sergeant major (the late Sergeant Major Lilley) who was a married man, there were, I believe, three or four rooms in the house where he was quartered, and there was no necessity whatever that the sentry placed o ver hi m should in any way interfere with his domestic arr angements, or that his wits should have been annoyed by the presence of the sentry. I learned a few days after the sergeant major had been placed in arrest, that the sentry had been moved injudiciously by Lieut. Fitzsimons so as to give cause of annoyance to the sergeant himself major's wile, to immediately sent Mr. Fitz simonsw the s en t ry from the w i a t la n d dra I pre sence of Mrs. Lilley, and to place him where he could do his duty with equally good effect without giving annoyance to her. Notwithstand ing the precaution of placing a sentry in the room with Sergeant Major Lilley, it did actually occur that through the neglect or connivance of some of these sen tries a communication was opened iththe on Sergt.the t M ernit' - r Immediately w by a woman of the regiment. nation of the defence by Paymaster Smales, on the 24th inst., I addressed a letter, as y ou are aware, to y o u to re quest the major general's permission to enlarge the arrest of the three sergeant majors from close to open arrest, as the necessity for continuing the close arrest no longer existed. This permission I received on the following day, and I acted upon it forthwith. Unfortunately Sergeant Major Lilley died of a sudden attack of apoplexy at four a.m., on the 25th'of May, and thus has given a handle for the un founded statements contained in the newspapers as to the penal character of the arrest of these non-commis sioned officers. I regret that owing to the variety and quan tity of official business placed upon my hands in reference to the robbery of the books, &c., of Paymaster Smales, the examination before a magistrate of private Walshe, the trumpet major, and his wife, and other regimental business, which can only be attended to by the officers actually in command, I have been unable to proceed with my reply to the prisoner's defence as early as I could have desired, and therefore his excellency's instructions relative to the final release from arrestof the sergeant majors have not yet been carried out, pending the final adjournment of the court.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, T. R. CRAWLEY, Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding 6th Dragoons. Cornet W. T. Snell, examined by Sir A. Horsford, said that he was adjutant of the 6th Dragoons during a portion of Sergeant Major Lilley'a arrest—from about the 4th till the Bth of May, 1862. During that period Col. Crawley sent for him to the mess room. He thought it was on the 7th of May, the day on which Sergeant Major Lilley gave his evidence in court. On his arrival at the mess Colonel Crawley said, "Mr. Snell, Sergeant Major Lilley has com plained in court of the manner of his arrest." He thought the colonel said that the sergeant major had said that the sentry was within two feet of his wife's bed. The colonel asked whether this was true, and witness replied that the sentry was on the bungalow next to Mrs. Lilley's bedroom. The colonel then asked who gave the order. Witness re plied " I understood it was you, sir." The colonel said he hed ordered close arrest, and inquired if his orders were not carried out. He added "Do you know what close ar rest is, Mr. Snell?" Witness answered he thought he did. Colonel Crawley then said " Go and see that my orders are properly carried out." Witness then left the mess. After that he went and saw Sergeant Major Lilley's bungalow, and changed the position of the sentry, placing him in the lobby or small room next to the dining room. It was the room known as the servants' room. There was an order that he was in no way to interefere with Mrs. Lilley, but not to lose sight of Sergeant Major Lilley except he went into Mrs. Lilley's bedroom. On the same day after the court martial on Paymaster Smales had adjourned he went to Colonel Crawley's bun galow with regimental papers. When the colonel had seen these, witness handed him a written copy of the orders he had given to the sentry over Sergeant Major Lilley. Colonel Crawley passed it back without reading it, saying, " Do you think, Mr. Snell, that lam a lance corporal, to write out orders for a guard ?" He had only done the duty of an acting adjutant a few days, and he had not liked on his own responsibility to change an order which was in force when he entered upon that daty. lie did not know what had become of those orders. Upon the witness being questioned as to the substance of the orders, Colonel Crawley objected, on the ground that the orders might be in existence, and that secondary evi dence was therefore inadmissible. After some discussion, the witness repeated that the orders were the same, except that he was not to interfere with Mrs. Lilley, but to keep Sergeant Major Lilley in sight, except he went into his wife's bedroom. Witness had some communication with Colonel Crawley next morn , ing upon taking the regimental papers as usual, and he ordered witness to issue a morning order, that Lieutenant Davies was to perform the duties of acting adjutant, and that witness was to resume his duty. During the time I was acting as adjutant, before the 7th, Sergeant Major and Mrs. Lilley were in the office, or No. 2 room. On that morning witness altered them as he had stated. Witness remembered the sentry giving up his orders to him several times while he was acting adjutant. Witness could not remember the exact words of the order, but it was to the effect that the sentry was to keep the prisoner in sight. Colonel Crawley objected on the ground that the orders were in writing, and should therefore be produced. The court overruled the objection. Examination continued—Witness was orderly o fficer on or about the 10th, 16th, and 22d, when inal Sergeant Major Lilley was under arrest, He did n ot remember the orders on the 10th, but on the 16th and 22d they were the orig orders that the sentry was not to lose sight of theme p medical risoner, nor to allow anyone into the bungalow excep officer, and he had a slight recollection of one native ser vant being mentioned.
