MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No alteration has - been made to-day in the Bank of England rate of discount. The events of the past week had so distinctly pointed to the probability of a change that some surprise was occasioned when it transpired that no new measure had been adopted. ne advices from the Continent reporting further increase in the value of money, the withdrawals 'cif gold from the Bank of England, and the v er y except i ona l procee di ngs o f the authorities yesterday in charging t- per cent. more than the Minimum for some first-class bills, all tended to laud the public into the belief that th 9 directors v . ould from these circumstances be forced to further e nhance their official quotations. The bill-brokers ilso very generally participated in this opinion, and 'as a consequence have lately refrained from accept ing anything but short-dated paper. A special general meeting of the shareholders of 'the Bank of Wales was held to-day for the purpose of repealing certain articles of association having - .reference to the annulling of the rule allowing the 'directors to purchase shares on behalf of the conk pany, and also repealing laws respecting th e ap pointment of auditors, the holding of meetings, &c. 3lr. T. N. Daniell occupied the chair, and having proposed the confirmation of the resolutions pre viously agreed upon, the meeting assented, and the proceedings then terminated. About 160,000 sovereigns were drawn from the Bank yesterday for transmission to Alexandria. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : Great Western 1863. 1862. 157,649 £54,138 North-Western South- Western Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire 35,080 32,652 North-Easte rn South-Eastern 18,905 19,179 Brighton Midland Bristol and Exeter Great Eastern Mancheste r , Sheffield, and Lincoln 16,146 14,743 North Briti s h Scottish North-Eastern 4,820 4,577 The returns aro in most instances of a very sa tisfactory character.

Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes. were 67f. 20c. Flat. A very decided change for the better has come Over the aspect of affairs in the Stock Exchange Markets this morning. The circumstance that the Bank of England authorities have not raised their rate of discount has given a great impulse to busi ness, and a perceptible improvement is manifested. In Consols the advance amounts to k per cent., the quotations being 92Z for money, and 912 less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 902 4 ; the Thirty Years' A nnuities, 142 ; and the Red Sea Telegraph, 202; E xchequer Bills are marked Bs. 3s. die;; Bank Stock is 237 ; India Stock, 221 ; the 5 per Cent. L ean, 1081 ; the 54- per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 114 1 ; and the Debentures are 992. The rise has been most perceptible in the Foreign Market where a good business has been transacted. Mexican have risen 2, viz., to 372 38 ; Greek, 2, to 3 0 3 4 ; do., Coupons, 2, to 141 1 ; Spanish Passive, to 34: ; the Certificates, 2, to 1314; but the Confederate Loan has declined to 56 58 ; Turkish 6 Per Cents.,lB62, are 691 70; do., Consolides have V s " 1, to 47 , : ; Portuguese, 1862, are 48i ; and Italian, 701 I. The alterations in the Railway Share Market h ave not been very extensive. Prices, however, have in most instances shown an upward movement. Great Western and Metropolitan have improved £ 1 ; Great Eastern, Brighton, North Eastern (Berwick), 105.; and North Western and South Eastern, ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without Material alteration. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally have also been at slightly enhanced quotations. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Bramwell, Channel', and Pigott.) THE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. SILLIAN AND OTHERS.-THE SEIZURE OF THE ALEXANDRA. Mr. Karslake, Q.C. continued his argument against the rule that there should be a new trial. He contended that;the equipment of the ship should be of a warlike character, in controversion of the view held by the Attorney-General at the trial that even an innocent equipment rendered the ship liable to forfeiture. He continued in support of the view held by Sir H. Cairns, who said that when you look at the word equip, there shall be an equipping in a warlike manner, or that the vessel shall be equipped for war as that she shall be ready to commit hostilities as soon as she leaves the shores. The Attorney-General had said that if the holding of the defendants were good, the Act was useless and might be blotted from the statute book. By no means. There were offences made by the Act which are well provided against. The Lord Chief Baron—Before the passing of this Act there was no distinction between a gun and a ship. You may now order a gun at Birmingham or anywhere else, and say--" This is for one of the belligerents, to be taken to one of their ports, to be sent on board of one of their ships, to be expressly used for the purpose of war with those with whom you are at peace." You may do it, and lam not aware that you could not d• it with a ship. No doubt you may order a gun for a ship. The statute makes that which 'was perfectly lawful before a crime and misdemeanour. Mr. Kerslake proceeded to consider the summ 4 ng up of the learned Lord Chief Baron, which was objected to on the ground that it did not put to the jury the question of " at tempting or endeavouring" to commit the offence. It was unfair on the part of the Crown, after resting the case upon the principal charge, now to come forward and take excep tion to the direction of the learned judge. In common fairness he thought he should have relied upon the first eight counts. Baron Bramwell asked what the learned counsel would say of the ease of a person openly confessing that he was building a ship for one of the belligerents, and fitting her out with an innocent fitting with a view to enabling her to go, say to the coast of Africa? Mr. Karslake—l consider it is no more an offence than if he had sent out the iron plating intended for the arming of the ship, to some foreign port, to be fitted on there. Baron Bramwell—You say it must be an immediate armament to be an offence under the Act? Mr. Karslake—Yes; you must not make one of the ports of this country a port of departure for a warlike ship. Baron Bramwell—But it may be said that you should look not only at the immediate intent, but at the remote intent—at all the intents intended to fellow. Baron Pigott—l think that the section as to the forfei ture may inform us as to the intention of the Legislature. ft says that breaking the law in the case forfeits the ship or vessel with the tackle, together with all the arms, ammuni tion, or stores which may belong to her, or which may be on board. The Act apparently contemplated that there may be none on board. Mr. Kerslake dissented from this. Baron Bramwell—Supposing the armament were brought down to the ship's side, it would not be on board. The learned Baron did not think this was necessarily an argu. ment against Mr. Kerslake. Mr. Karslake—Looking at the whole of the section, the object was apparently that the ports of the kingdom shall not be made ports of departure for hostile purposes—a sta tion of hostilities, That view of the case is supported by the nature of the occasion on which the Act was passed, and by the whole history of legislation on the subject. Mr. Mellish, Q.C., then followed on the same side. H e would not, after the exhaustive arguments of his learned friends, occupy the court by a lengthy address. He held that it was perfectly lawful under the Act forany one Know ingly to build a ship adapted for war, under a contract with one of two belliOrents, and to deliver that ship, and to equip that ship so far as necessary to enable it to sail away to be delivered here or elsewhere to that belligerent in an unharmed state. At the conclusion of th© learned gentleman's argument, The Attorney-General proceeded in reply, and was ad. ressing the Court when their lordships rose. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) HUDSON V. HUDSON. This was a suit for judicial separation, by reason of the husband's cruelty. The marriage was solemnised in 1854, and there was a settlement of £l,OOO upon the wife during her lifetime. Shortly after marriage, according to the statement of the learned counsel, the respondent became addicted to habits of intemperance, and conducted himself in such a cruel manner that she was compelled to leave him in 1862, since which time there had been no cohabitation. The husband denied the allegations contained in the petition. Mrs. Jane Hudson said—l was married in the year 1854. My father was a private gentleman, and my husband's parents were independent people. My husband received £l,OOO on that occasion, and we then went to live at Head corn, in Kent, at Coalbarn Farm, Barringdon. My hus band was very sober for more than 12 months, but after that he became subject to intoxication, and threatened me. His habits of drinking got worse, but we resided till 1859 in Kent. On one occasion he drove me and my daughter to Falerden. As we were returning he drove up a bank, overturned the chaise, and we were all thrown out. My husband said he was sorry my neck was not broke, as he intended to do it. I was confined to bed for a week. One night in the year 1862 he came home very late, and in a state of intoxication, and said he would " do" for me, and after that he told me to go out of the house or he would kick me oat. On another occasion he came home in a different kind of hat to that which he was in the habit of wearing, and when I asked what had become of his hat, he said that was his business, and then he threw a bowl of cold water over me. Ho after that brought two men of a low description home, and made me prepare supper for them. They stayed till two o'clock in the morning, and my husband slept in the chair till four o'clock. I remained up all that time, and when he roused up a little he became violent because I persuaded him to go to bed. I was always afraid to go to bed when he was in toxicated. During one of the hop picking seasons in 1862, which lasted three weeks, he was not sober for a single day. I was finally compelled to leave him in October, 1862. Cross-examined by Dr. Spiaks—l cannot recollect the precise date when' left. I remained in the house about a week after my husband brought the two men home to supper. About that time Mr. Hudson was in difficulties, he out,h e was not hu r t. was losing money every day by the farm, and since the sin chaise Il i e s f e t washim u l p h se a t ve m h y sbehaardhad was thrownenhassoldthe place. but When I am certain he drove up the bank purposely. He said after he had done so that he intended to break my neck, and was sorry he had not done so. My husband did not come daily to see me while I was confined to my bed. He sent some wine, but nothing further. When he threw the water over me he said nothing about washing his hands. I never irritated my husband. Mr. John Underhill, surgeon, said he met Mr. Hudson after the accident referred to by Mrs. Hudson. I spoke to him about it, and ha said, " Oh, my wife jawed me, so I turned her over." (Laughter.) I afterwards attended Mrs. Hudson, during which time her husband seemed in quite a frenzied state. I told him if he kept on drinking he'd kill himself. He said he would leave off, and a short time after that I met him, when he told me he was drinking nothing but toast and water. After Mr. Hudson had thrown the water over his wife, I expostulated with him, when he said. " Oh, it's all right, Doctor, when you're married you'll find out all about it." (Laughter.) On another occasion I met Mr. Hudson in a very excited state. I asked him how he was, when he said he should be all right if it was not for his wife. (Laughter.) Cross-examined—l deliberately swear Mr. Hudson told me he upset the chaise intentionally. I don't know that Mrs. Hudson was in the habit of "jawing" her husband. 1 don't know that she " nagged" at him. She always ap peared very resigned. Evidence having been given on the part of the respondent, The Court took time to consider its decision.

MAR LB °ROUGH STREE T. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BREAKING SIR CHARLES EASTLAKE'S WI NDOWS.—George Williams, a respectable looking man, described as a sailinaker, of 14, Evans-street, Poplar, was charged before Mr. Yardley with wilfully breaking two panes of glass of the value of Ss, the property of Sir Charles Eastlake, the president of the Royal Aca demy, residing at No. 7, Fitzroy -square. Nicholas Tucker, butler to Sir Charles Eastlake, said— I got this letter from Sir Charles, and by his desire when prisoner came this morning I gave him into custody, Two windows had been broken, and prisoner admitted he broke them, and said he wished to be given into custody. I have seen the prisoner before, He was at the house some years ago. He then came to see a young person who he was keeping company with, and who was then living in the house. The value of the windows broken is about Ss. Prisoner—l don't wish to put you to any trouble, sir. I have received a deep injury from a relative of Sir Charles Eastlake's. Mr. Yardley —I will at once tell you that, although lam disposed to allow you every latitude, I will hear nothing irrelevant to the charge. You seem to me to have acted like a madman. Prisoner—l have had enough to make me mad. Mr. Yardley (to the butler)—lks there been any com munication with the prisoner and any person in your house during the last 10 years ? The Butler—There has not; the person alluded to is the prisoner's wife. Mr. Yardley —I will not look at the letter. Prisoner—Will you oblige me by looking at it. I admit it is in my handwriting, and I should have thought that any one would have answered the letter instead of putting one to the trouble of doing this. Mr. Yardley, having perused the letter, said—The letter is a threat undeniably, and undoubtedly, and connected with your act it is particularly so. It is a threat to do some indefinite, undefined, unlawful act. Prisoner—l can get no law on my side. I intend no personal violence to any one. Mr. Yardley—you hear from the butler that the person you claim as your wife is not at Sir Charles Eastlake's. For your act I could send you for hard labour ; but as you seem a respectable person, and you may have, or suppose you have, some ground for what you have done, I shall not do that, but the sentence I shall pass is, that you be im prisoned for seven days ; and I do this with some regard for yourself, and I hope you will by that time and on reflec tion be a wiser and better man; but if it occurs again I will send you for hard labour, if not for trial. Prisoner—When I come out will you give me some ad vice how to act _ _ Mr. Yardley—Come to me and I will do so. A BRUTAL SON. —George Jones, a young man, described as a boot-closer, was charged with assaulting his mother, and wilfully destroying a clock. Mr. Elizabeth Clarke (the mother, she being married a second time and being a widow), said—l wish for protec tion. My son came home last night drunk, and acted as if ha was mad. He seized up a chair and smashed a clock. Mr. Yardley —Did he assault you? The Mother —No. Mr. Y ardley—Prisoner, what have you to say? It is evident your foolish mother is suppressing the truth; and if you did not assault her, she has caused the constable to exceed his duty in taking you into custody. Sergeant Harrison, acting inspector—The prosecutrix's mouth was bleeding when the prisoner was charged, and the prisoner has been charged with similar conduct before. Mr. Yardley—Prisoner, I can understand your mother not wishing to press the case. You are a moat brutal fellow. Oliver, 343 A—When I took the prisoner into custody his mother's mouth was bleeding. Mr. Yardley —Mrs. Clarke, was your mouth bleeding? Mrs. Clarke —Yes. Mr. Yardley—Now, on your oath, Mrs. Clarke, and mind your answer, did your son strike you? Mrs. Clarke —No. Mr. Yardley—There, your mother has perjured herself to save you, prisoner. you are a brutal fellow, and I shall commit you for 7 days.

CAMPBELL IN HIS LATE PUBLISHED ACCOUNT OF HIS TWELVE• MONTHS' RESIDENCE IN KHONDISTAN. In the Maliahs (hill tracts) of Goomsur the sacri fice is offered annually to Tado Pennor, the earth god, under the effigy of a peacock, with the view of propitiating the deity to grant favourable crops. The Zani, or priest, who may be of any caste, officiates at the sacrifice, but he performs the " Pooga" (offering of flowers, incense, &c.) to the idol, through the medium of the Zoomba, who must be a Knond boy under seven years of age, and who is fed and clothed at the public expense, eats alone, and is subjected to no act deemed impure. For a month prior to the sacrifice, there is much feasting, intoxication, and dancing round the Meriah (victim), who is adorned with garlands, &c. Oa the day before the performance of the barbarous rite, he is stupefied with toddy, and is made to sit, or is bound at the bottom of a post, bearing the effigy above described. The assembled multitude then dance round to music, and addressing the earth, say, " 0 God, we offer this sacrifice to you ; give us good crops, seasons, and health ;" after which they address the victim. " We bought you with a price, and did not seize you ; now we sacrifice you according to custom, and no sin rests with us." On the f o ll ow i ng d ay, t h e M eriah b e ing again intoxicated, and anointed with oil, each individual present touches the anointed part, and wipes the oil on his own head. All then march in procession round the village and its boundaries, preceded by music, bearing the victim in their arms. On returning to the post, Which i s always placed n ear the village i dol, called Zacari Penoo, repre sented by three stones, a hog is killed in sacrifice, and the blood being allowed to flow into a pit pre pared for the purpose, the Meriah, who has been previously made senseless from intoxication, is seized and thrown in, and his face pressed down till he is suffocated in the bloody mire. The Zuni then cuts a piece of flesh from the body, and buries it near the village idol, as an off3ring to the earth. All the people then follow his example, but carry the bloody prize to their own villages, where part of the flesh is buried near the village idol, and part u n on the boundaries of the vill age . The head of the victim s remains ated, and with th e b are b bloody pit. A ter this horrid ce remony has been complet e d, a buffalo calf is b ro ught to the post, and, hi s f our feet having been on i s buried in m the cut off, is left there till the following day. Women, dressed in ma le attire and armed as men, then drink, dance, and sing round the spot; the calf is killed and eaten, and the Zani dismissed with a present of rice, and a hog or calf. Of the many ways in which the unhappy v i ctim is destroyed, that just described is perhaps th e l east cruel, as in some places the flesh is cut off while the unfortunate creature is still alive. THAMES, A DOCK Rumax.—William Murphy, a well-known blackguard and ruffian, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting Mr. Henry Redly, a transporting pilot, on board the ship Candidate, in the Shadwell basin of the London Dock, The complainant stated that yesterday evening, between 4 and 5 o'clock, the prisoner came on board the Candidate with a passenger, of whom he demanded money. The pas senger said he had not employed the prisoner, but he had notwithstanding given him 6d., and he would give him no more. The prisoner made a great disturbance, and said he would not go without more money. He requssted the prisoner to leave the ship, which he refused to do, and threatened him. The prisoner was re peatedly desired to leave the vessel, and would not, and said to witness, "You b--, I will let you have it when you come on shore," and at the same time struck him a violent blow with his fist. He closed with the pri soner, who endeavoured to force him into the dock basin, and would have succeeded if assistance had not been at hand. The prisoner had threatened hire before, and he was one of the•greatest ruffians in the port of London. The prisoner, in defence, said a passenger came down to the London Dook in a cab, and said he wanted the ship Candidate. He guided him to the vessel, and only re ceived 6d. Mr. Partri d ge — How long were you engaged with the passenger ? The prisoner —About half an hour. Mr. Partridge—You were very well paid. Win. Hine, 184 H, said the prisoner was convicted in May last for committing a violent assault on police-constable Carr, 40 H, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner had been for a long time hanging about the London and St. Katherine' Docks, forcing his services on passengers, seamen, and sailor boys. If he found any one with a parcel he took it from them, and then demanded extravagant remuneration for his ser vices. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner ought not to be permitted to hang about the docks, as he was a dangerous character. He fined the prisoner 405., Which was paid. MARKETS —This Day, 35/ARK:LANE.

" JOHN PARRY'S MANUAL OP MUSICAL TERMS," published by Mr. M'Lean, Haymarket, is funnily contrived to teach and i m p ress upon the memory of a young musical pupil the meaning of terms used in music. Among other evidences of the whimsicality of the notion here carried out, we may indicate—from its pages —that we have a vista of a street, the sewer beneath the roadway is put for basso, a well expresses basso profondo, baritone is the ground-floor of one of the houses, tenor the first floor, alto the garret, contralto the same of the house opposite to that bearing the other inscriptions ; soprano suggests a sweep in a chimney pot, assauto a man on the summit of a steeple. in another place non molls Origanto stands as a rusiilight-shade. ACONITE AND ACONITINA. pretty well kn own broughtfwi o u erAmedicalhave e thought it expedient to (From the Medical Circul ar.) vaeltnhootu gbeenh p ps o ruu s b e cs s tti o ae f en: p eh o s i a' sonin g, and as they have been much employed offer a few remarks into prominent notice by a recent event, upon these very powerful agents. A conite, or mon kshood, is a well known and orna mental plant in gardens, and is indigenous in Europe. The whole of the plant possesses poisonous properties, but the root, especially after the leaves have fallen, is the most poisonous part, and has sometimes proved fatal from being eaten in mistake for horse-radiah. The medicinal preparation is the tincture of the root, but the fluid known as Fleming's tincture, whi c h was probably employed in the late case of suicidal poisoning, is by far the most poisonous preparation, b e ing about as strong as prussic acid. The effects of ac onite are due to the presence of an alkaloid, named aconitina, bat the properties of thi s latter vary much according to the condition o f t h e root from which it is obtained, the locality in which th e plant is grown, the period when it is gathered, and other circumstances. In offering the present remarks upon aconite and aconitina, we have availed our selves of the information kindly supplied to us by Mr. Morson, the principal, and we believe the only manufacturer of aconitina in this country, who has allowed us to inspect the various costly specimens of aconitina in his possession. Aconitina possesses in a concentrated degree the properties of aconite; and is used in medicine chiefly as an external pre paration. Its dose for internal administration is not very accurately fixed, but it may perhaps be stated at between the 1-100 and 1.50 of a grain. The amount of a poisonous and fatal dose in the human subject is not exactly known, but it is probably about one-tenth of a grain. We have heard of a case in which a highly respectable pharmacutist was re quested to make up a grain of aconitina into twelve pills, and on remonstrating upon the great ness of the dose, he was informed that the patient had often taken the same pills before. The latter, however, was induced to have the grain of aconi tina divided into 24 doses, and the first dose, which probably contained :the alkaloid in a purer form than he had previously taken, produced very well marked toxical symptoms, and the dose was there fore subsequently further divided into the 48th of a grain. To remove any misapprehensions that may arise upon the subject, we may state that the opi nion expressed by the medical witness at the recent inquest on the body of the man Hunt, that .one fiftieth of a grain of aconitina was a fatal dose is incorrect. Dr. Puckle, the witness alluded to, is also reported to have stated that he discovered the presence of aconitina in the contents of the stomach by the application of sulphuric acid and the bi chromate of potash. These reagents acting upon aconitina will come a green colour, owing to the development of the green oxide of chromium, but the test is by no means characteristic of the pre sence of aconitina, as morphia, and probably other alkaloids, produce the same reaction. If, also, Dr. Puckle has observed this test in a small quantity of the tincture of aconite, mixed with the contents of the stomach, he is we believe the first toxic olo g ist who has succeeded in doing so, and it is to be hoped process he that he will publish the details of the employs. The only test for aconite i n which, hitherto, any reliance can be placed is t he r physiolo gical one of applying a small portion of the tincture of aconite, or aconitina, on the to n gue , sen sation of numbness and tingling is pro when a produced. There is hydrated and s the mo rn are two forms:of aconitina w hich are p re p ared—one is crystalised, and the othe r un crystalised, and the lat ter i re active of the Aconitina is a more p owerf ul poison than two. s tbe former. trYelinia'part4' owing to the greater solubili ty of Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

The Court sat at a quarter past eleven. Paym as t er Smales was present during the day. Col. Crawley wished to put slew more questions to Major Champion. The Court assented. Major Champion recalled—l was in constant communi cation with Col. Crawley during the time of the arrest of Sergeant Major Lilley and the other two sergeant majors. I never remarked the existence of a vindictive and mali cious feeling on the part of Col. Crawley towards them. After the death of Sergeant Major Lilley, Major General Farrell wade an address to Sergeant Major Wakefield, at which I was present. The address was in my hand writing, and the adjutant of the regiment took it round to the officers to be read to Sergeant Duval. The address, it dated at all, was read out on the 6th of Tune, and I have it in my possession, The address was then read as follows : " Colonel Crawley, officers, and non-commissioned officers. " His Excellency the Commander• in-Chief desired me, in a letter dated the 6th of May, to dispose of the cases of the late Sergeant Major Lilley and Troop Sergeant Majors j Wakefield and Duval when the general court martial should have finally closed its proceedings. The ob. ject of your being here assembled this morn ing is to hear read to you those instructions, and also a dispatch which reached me yesterday evening from the Commander -in- C hief. The Assistant-Ad j utant- General will now read, first, a memorandum dated June 2, and second, a letter, No. 13,747, May 6." (Read accord ingly.) "Sergeants Wakefield and Duval, you are now released from arrest and from the consequences of your folly. Circumstances over which I had no control have lengthened the period of your arrest and confinement, and by the will of the Almighty, your comrade, Sergeant Major Lilley, has been taken away from among you, and I deeply deplore his sudden death, and that he cannot, have the consolation of forgiveness granted him in your - presence. All of you must bear this in mind, and re member it to the last day of your service that subordination to the authorities placed over you is the golden rule of conduct of all soldiers serving her graeious Majesty. The late transactions, so clandestine and im proper, so closely resembling mutiny towards your com mander, have brought all this sorrow and trouble upon you. The consequences of such conduct were inevitable ; and I trust you will hereafter show, by your conduct, that you have seen your fault in its true light, and strive to regain the confidence of your commanding officer. To the rest of you I have to say that discipline and your own honour and happiness can only he maintained by your individual conduct iu right feeling and subordi nation." Witness continued—Sergeant Major Wakefield was pre sent, and apparently in good health, at the reading of that address. He did not seem to me to be a raving maniac. By Sir A. Horsford (the proeecutor)—Since Sergeant Major Wakefield was released, has he been placed in any position of responsibility in the regiment ? Witness—l think ho returned to his duty as a sergeant, and, to the best of my knowledge, took his discharge about a year subsequently, on the completion of his service. Sir A. Horaford—Were any other quarters occupie by Dibble (referred to yesterday) than those which had een occupied by Lilley ? Witness—l forgot to mention yesterday, and lam glad of the opportunity of saying that Quartermaster Sergeant Dibble, to the best of my belief, had additional accommoda tion on the north side of the quarters in whicJi Lilley died, and also another room of similar dimensions. By the President—l sin sure that Major General Farrell's address was delivered on the Gth of June. Colonel Crawley—Have you any means of proving that the address was not delivered on the ith of June ? Witness (after referring to certain memorandums handed to him) I find on refreshing my memory that I have made a mistake. Major General Farrell's address was read out on the morning of the 17th of June. By the Court—You stated in your evidence yesterday that the height of the wall in Sergeant Major Lilley's second bungalow was 121 feet in height. The plan shows tbat it was 9 feet 9 inches. Which is correct ? Witness—l find that it was a sloping wall. Tho mea surement of the inside was upwards of 10 feet by scale, on the outside about 9. The height mentioned from memory by me of 12 feet 6 inches was therefore inaccurate. I do not remember myself ever having occupied Government quarters in India. I have lived in smaller rooms and worse ventilated private bungalows than those last occupied by the late Sergeant. Major Lilley. The President—As Assistant-Adjutant -General to the division of the Bombay army at Mhow, will you be pleased to define close arrest as carried out in that Presidency ? Witness—l define close arrest to mean the fact that a sentry must be over the quarters in which the prisoner livea, and that it is a mode of arrest resorted to where serious crimes are charged against a prisoner. There are no local orders as to close arrest iu the Bombay Presidency. It is a discretionary matter altogether. The President—What do you mean by quarters ? Witness—l moan wherever the prisoner is confined. The Court—Are you aware whether Major General Farrell's definition of close confixement agrees with that of Colonel Crawley, as stated by Lieutenant Fitzsimons, " that the sentry should not lose sight of his prisoner night or day ?- Witness—l tan not aware of the definition Major General Farrell would give, but in the case of Sergeant Major Lilley it was necessary to prevent communication with outside parties. The Court —Was Major General Farrell aware that at any time a sentry was placed in the same room with Ser geant Major Lilley and his wife? witness —To the best of my belief, he was not aware of any such occurrence.

Was it a bombproof r building Witness—l dthink ha s been given tbe description which given of it is true. Colonel Crawley—Could those quarters be called unfit for human habitation—is that statement true or false. Witness—l consider they were fit for habitation, but not comfortable. Colonel Crawley—Could they be called unfit for human habitation ? Witness—No, not unfit. Colonel Crawley—Could. they b e called injurious to health —is that true or false? is opinion, t h a t they could not have been healthy, because it was very warm there. My opi n i on i s that they were injurious to health. Colonel Crawley—How. many families of the Inniskilling Dragoons occupied similar quarters while you were acting as adjutant to that regiment? Witness—l cannot state the number, but the greater part of the families of the 7 egiment, Colonel Crawley—Do I understand you to say that ,the greater part of the families of the Inniskilling Dragoons• occupied quarters that were injurious to health? Witness—l think so. 'I here were continual complaints about them, Colonel Crawley—By whom, and to whom? Witness—By both men and women of the regiment complaints have been made to me. Col. Crawley—Were the quarters in which Sergeant Major Lilley was last confined the quarters provided by Government for the use of the regiment ? Witness —Yes. Col. Crawley —Was it in your opinion the fault of Col. Crawley that the quarters in which the greater part of the families resided were injurious to health ? Witnes s—No. Col. Crawley—Have you ever heard of the misrepresen tations which you admit to be untrue as to the building in which Sergeant Major Lilley was confined, namely, that it wa N s v b i t o n m e s b s _.... p r o i otfhainnkd I u n h t i a t v f e o r h h e human t h i anbti the a e t i on papers.? not recollect h av i ng heard of it elsewhere. , I do Col. Crawley—Will you swear that you have never any where heard such a representation ? Witness—As I have stated, Ido not recollect having heard it elsewhere. Colonel Crawley—Allow me, Mr. President. Will the witness swear to it ? Colonel Pipon (officiating Judge Advocate)—He is on his oath, and whatever he says is under the sanction of that oath. Colonel Crawley—Have you any knowledge or idea from what quarter such misrepresentations originated ? Witness—No. Colonel Crawley—Have you taken any steps, as an officer of the Inniskilling Dragoons, to correct a misrepre sentation so injurious to the honour of yolk commanding officer ? Witness—l did not take steps. Colonel Crawley—Have you, since your return to Eng land, been in communication with Mr. Smales? Witness—He has called on me at my hotel twice or three times. Otherwise not. I one day met him in the streets in London, and once here in the ccurt martial room. Colonel Crawley—On the occasion on which you saw Mr. Smales, did you converse with him on the subject of this trial ? Witness—l did. Colonel Crawley—When did you last converse with Mr. Smales on the subject of this trial ? Witness—The day before yesterday in the court martial room. Colonel Crawley—How came you to cease to be adjutant of the Inniskilling Dragoons ? Witness—l was suspended in consequence of my com mending officer reporting me. Colonel Crawley—For what did your commanding officer suspend you ? Witness --I believe that it was for having partaken of the paymaster's hospitality, and he also seated that I was incompetent to p er f orm the duties of adjutant. I have in my possession the correspondence relating to it. Colonel Crawley —On what Lccasion did you partake of the paymaster's hospitality when your conduct in that respect was complained of. Witness—l do not recollect at what date, but it was when the paymaster was under arrest at Mhow. Colonel Crawley—Was Mr. Sutales tried for insubordi nation to ? Colonel Crawley, as commanding officer of the regiment Witness—Yes. Colonel Crawley—Do you regard the adjutant of a regi ment as the confidential and right hand man of his com manding officer ? Witness—Decidedly. Colonel Crawley—Do you think it consistent with the duty of a person in such a position to be living on terms of intimacy with a person standing in such a relation to the commanding officer as Mr. Smales then did P Witness---I consider that having known : Captain Smales and his family for a long time—since they came to the re giment—and having always been on terms of intimacy with him, I was not wrong in partaking of his hospitality. Colonel Crawley—Was your removal from the adjutancy , confirmed and approved by General Sir William Mans field? Witness—l sent in my resignation, and it was approved and confirmed. Colonel Crawley—Look at that letter, and see whether it is the letter of Sir William Mansfield, in which your resig nation was approved. _ _ _ . The witness said at first he thought it was the letter, but was not sure, but on the letter being produced, signed by defendant's adjutant general, the witness said that, seeing tho signature to the letter, he supposed it must be the letter. The letter was then read, and expressed the opinion of the Commander-in-Chief that Lieut. Fitzsimons had been guilty of indiscretion in visiting the paymaster while a court martial on him was in progress, especially looking at the state of the regiment (Gth Dragoons) at that time, and further saying that it was fortunate for Lieut. Fitzsimons that he had been permitted to tender his resignation. Colonel Crau ley—Were you censured by the court mar tial at Mhow for the evasive character of your evidence on that occasion 2 Witness—l was censured by the Commander in Chief. I don't remember that I was censured by the Court. Colonel Crawley said that if the witness were ordered to withdraw he would put the Court in possession of the facts. Witness was requested to withdraw, and Colonel Crawley said it was impossible for him to conduct his dbfence if the questions put to the witness were discussed by the Court in his presence, and he was aware of their bearing. The witness then returned. Colonel Crawley—Do you not know that the court martial at Mhow thought it right to reflect upon the eva sive character of your testimony ? Witness—l really cannot at present say whether thd court martial made any remarks to me or not. I did not road the report of the court martial through. I read chiefly my own evidence in it. Colonel Crawley—ls it possible thst an officer can receive a censure from a court martial before which he is witness for giving evasive evidence, and yet forget the circum stance Witness—l have already stated that 1 don't recollect it. arac you were a towriting of Colonel Crawley — C a n y ou recollect co nversations in the or d er ly room, and even oaths which you have uttered, an d no remembert thea censure u ecnosurrt martial e o n 3,' u before r wn ch tercommitted which witness. Witness—l can. To the best of my recollection when the remarks of the Court were made I was away on leave. On my return when I saw the remarks of the Commander in. Chief it was the only thing I paid attention to. Col. Crawley—Look at page 92 of the blue book (upon court martial on Senates), and see whether you have before read that passage which animadverts on your evidence be fore that court martial ? Witness—To the best of my belief I have read that pas 4 sage before, but I did not recollect my name being men d tioned in it. Colonel Crawley—Did the Commander in Chief, after perusing your evidence on the court martial at Mhow, pro nounce it to be evasive and unsatisfactory, and such as showed your entire ineffieiency for the adjutancy 2 Witness—lle did pronounce it as such. Colonel Crawley you have said that I gave you a writs ten order on the 26th April for the arrest of the eergeants• Was any one present on that occasion ? Witness —I really cannot say. Colonel Crawley —You have stated the names of all the persons you allege to have been present when the second re order was issued. Why cannot you equally state who we present on the first occasion? that the was in reference to the second occasion n io ir n the C ommander in Chief remarked on the positiont'he time, the sentries were posted, and, as I understood r :,_ n o f the 'to write a letter of explanation for the indfoorf ' /lumber s Of Commander in Chief.
