ONE Y MARKET! SHARE AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general money market this morning the inquiry has been of a moderate character, and as discounters appear to possess large resources for which there is no immediate call, they are evincir g an anxiety to employ their capital in the current business at i , and, in some cases, per cent. under the official minimum. The general charge, how ever, for first-class short-dated bills is 5i per cent. A call has been made by the New Zealand Bank ing Corporation of £5 per share, payable on the 16th proximo at Messrs. Hankey's bank. The amount of gold withdrawn yesterday from the Bank of England was £90,000 in sovereigns, for shipment to Alexandria. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under :- 1863. 1862.

All the Stock Exchange Markets presented a depressed appearance, in consequence of speculative sales, prompted no doubt by the withdrawal of s overeigns from the Bank of England. The Funds have receded j r , Consols being no better than 92/ 2. for money, and 91/ I, less the dividend, for the ac count.

LAW INTELLIGENCE---This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Nisi Prins, before Lord Chief JusticeCoek• burn and a special jury.) TIIE QUEEN V. ITHITHERST. 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 Shee, with Mr. Sergeant Eallantine, Mr. Pope Hennessy, and Mr. F. H. Lewis, instructed by Lewis awl 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 P Mr. Sergeant Shee said that neither himself nor his learned friend had heard that any one appeared. The Lord Chief Justice—Was any one bound over to prosecute ? if so, the recognisances must be entreated. Mr. Sergeant Shee replied that no one was bound over to prosecute. The Lord Chief Justice then informed the jury 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 1 ) 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 he 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 Bloomfiald 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. 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, I 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 wen t t o Li verpoo l on a v i s i t t o his friends at Manchester and Liverpool. Al 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 wo 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 daughter:met 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 he did not have money to spent, 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 plea 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 o n l y excuse he gave for not coming to Upton Park at Chri s t mas was that he 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 I 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.

This was a meeting for choice of a new assignee under the estate ;of this bankrupt, generally known as Lord Hnntingtower. The bankruptcy took place as fat back as 184 G. The new choice became necessary in consequence of the death of the assignee originally appointed. Lard Hunt ingtower was present, and app eared to take great interest in the proceedings. Mr. Cunningham said that the meeting had become ne cessary in consequence of th e d eatliof the:former assignee, andhealso 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 11Ir. M'ltitchie for a sum of £1,208. It appeared that he had paid £BOO to the holder of an acceptance of Lord Hu ntingtower for £l,OOO in the expectatio n o f realising £2OO in the shape of discount, but was disappointed, and had to bring an action 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 c l a i m might be entered to be expunged, unless turned into a proof within six months from the present date. -,„,There was no discussion on the choice. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE SCHOOLMASTER AND THE STRAWBERRIES AND CREA,74,-11IOSES V. WILLES. This was an action to recover a small amount for goods supplied, plaintiff being a fruiterer of Gracechurch-street, and defendant a schoolmaster of Kelvedon. Mr. Gamma, for the plaintiff, said ho believed that the only item in dispute was that relating to certain straw berries and cream for which plaintiff charged 15s. Defen dant said it was a gift, but that would be denied. Plaintiff was called, and said that in July last defendant and Mrs. Wiles had strawberries and cream to the extent o f 15 s . towards 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 —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 very 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 cream. (Laughter.) Verdict for defendant. . AMERICA (Per the Hecla.) SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 25.

The Richmond Enquirer comments unfavourably upon the late captures by Meade on the Rappahan nock and the Confederate defeat in Western Vir ginia, and says : " The Federals are threatening the railroad at Weldon. They are also reported in force at New port News. Thus the Federals are threatening active operations all round Richmond before winter has blockaded the road." The .Richmond Examiner says the Federals are moving upon York Peninsula, and are reported to be in considerable force on the Williamsburg road, 40 miles east of Richmond.

In the course of last sum mer, some st rangers o f di s ti n ction were induced to visit Rothiemurchus, from the report they hear/ of an "echo" remarkable for the clear and distinct nature of its reverberations. On reaching the spot whence the trial o f its power is usu a lly ma d e , their guide put his hand to the skies of his mouth, and bawled out with the lungs of a Sten tor a salutation in Gaelic, which was repeated with a preci sion that seemed beyond the expectations of the party.

MA.RLBOROUGH,STREET. A SCENE ♦T 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 —Is it anight house, and the resort of die 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--I 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. Mr. Yardley—What are her duties ? Complainant—To do what is required as a servant. Mr. Yardley —Are you a married man ? Complainant—N o . 'Mr. Yardley—Now, does she not sleep with you ? Complainant—Oh, no; not lately. Prisoner —I du, and after being with him he has turned me out without a farthing. Mr. Yardley —You are a pair of profligates, and he gets his living by profligates. I hope the police will keep their eye on the place ; but, at all events, the public peace must not be broken. 1 shall theretore order the prisoner to enter into her recognisances to keep the peace and be of good be haviour. The place kept by 'the complainant is said to be visited mostly by the young prostitutes frequenting the Hay market. WESTMINSTER. WILYTIL DAMAGE AT A TAVERN.—MAII NG A Vow.-- Ellen Lee, a middle-aged woman of dissipated appearance, was charged with whinny breaking a pane of glass, value 305., at the house of Mr. Mainwaring, the Three Tuns, Broadway, Westminster. Complainant 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. Ho then attempted to remove her, when she dashed her fist, with a key in it, through a pane of plate glass. Mr. Arnold— Was she drunk ? Complainant—After she had done the damage she pre tended to be so. me. Arnold—How long had she been in your house ? Complainant—Not above half an hour, and I had not served her with any drink. The very moment that she misconducted herself I requested her to leave, and I should have done so before had I thought her under the influence of liquor. Defendant—Let me go, your worship. I'll pay for the glass at a shilling par week. Do let me vow. I have taken a vow not to drink any more. Dennis, the jailor—She has only been out two or three days from seven days' imprisonment for being drunk and riotous. She said she had taken a vow then. Defendant—Oh I I will keep it now, your worship, if you will let me go. Mr. Arnold—l cannot allow you to go. Publicans are to blame if they allow persons to get intoxicated in their houses, but where they conduct their business properly they are entitled to the fullest protection. Defendant was committed for 14 days to hard labour in the House of Correction. .....•......0.... THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY AND FATAL APPRAY 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 musio hall, Wellclose-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 Wilten's Music-hall, and the prisoner was brought back in half an hour and charged with manslaughter. He cautioned the 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 bietvoastle-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, wh o was present with his wife and was not sober, lifted tip 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, and attacked the deceased, and hit him about the neck and shoulders. Much bustle and consternation ery durin sorry g for his whatp professional had asionoacic career urred, ensued among the audience, in the m id st of which the prisoner got upon the stage , again attempted to make a s a peec that h,a ainttdtwesaasipdtth to e o hew fir st that anything of the kind made hadw m taken words, but eT hweasprisoner a sv speak a time few serious had anything gard the man hsvlßlpopyewMnae:d.slutVrunoteiolklraylnveahhs—odulerawdaa.fstenrwotaradwsa, rwehaneny - Michael Harris, a traveller, gave similar evidence.

W I3 t h i t e n r e s e s— vi d i e a d c i d e n w o a t s , s g i a r n. e into, and it appeared deceased was very disorderly, and challenged the prisoner to leave the stage and fight him, and that he died almost imme diately after he was struck. Mr. James Sequeria, surgeon, of Munsell-streat, White - 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 ' back of the head. It was more the result of a blew tkan anything else. He could not state what was the cause of the death. Mr. Lewis, jun., said he had many witnesses to call who would prove the riotous and provoking cenduct 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 h ave 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 wore upwards of 1,200 persons in the hall. It was a benefit night. He could not resist a remand, but he hoped bail would be taken, Mr. Woolyrch remanded the prisoner until Monday, and said at this stage of the investigation he would not take bail.

THE CRAWLEY COURT MA.RTIAL. EIGHTH DAY. [The following appeared in the Third Edition of " The 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 htm to bed, and would prevent his resuming his duties at the court martial proceedings. 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 : (Immediat2.). Mhw, 4th Jae, 162 From Lieut. Col, Crawl e y, Commanding 6th Dr n agoo B ns,. to the Assistant Adjutant General, M.D.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 o f th e impossi bility of preventing communication being held with the prisoners by parties in the interest of the prisoner (Pay masterSnaales) 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 placedic anodve therehimwasshno late Sergeant M a j or Lilley) who was a married man, there were, I believe, th ree or four rooms in the house where he w th a w w h a a y tev in e t r er t f h er a e t o uld ne i c n ess a i n ty y e s sen with his tr d y quartered, omest arrangements, or that his wife 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 major's wife, and I immediately sent Mr. Fitz simons himself to withdraw the sentry from the pre sence of Mrs. Lilley, and to place him where he could do his duty with equally good effect w ith ou t 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 sea tries a communication was opened with the Sergt. Major by a woman of the regiment. Immediately on the termi - nation of•the defence by Paymaster Smales, on the 24th inst., I addressed a letter, as you are aware, to you 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 quart. tity of official business placed upon my hands in reference to the robbery of th e 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 in s t ruct i ons relative to the final release from arrest of 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's arrest—trom 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 thmight he did. Colonel Crawley then said " Go and see that my orders are properly carried out." Witness then left the mess. After that ha 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 Cre.wley passed it back without reading it, saying, " Do you think, Mr. Snell, that I am a lance corporal, to write out orders for a guard Ps' 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 duty. He did not know what had become of those orders. Upon the witness being questioned as to the substance o the orders, Colonel Crawley objected, on the ground that the orders nog • ht be in existence, and that secondary ev dente was therefore inadmissible. After same discussion, the witness repeated that the next Witness andh e orders were the same, except that he was not t o i nterfere with Mrs. Lilley, but to keep Sergeant M a j or L illey in sight, except he went ainimtoenColonell papers histawifep'e Crawley srbsedarsouosmu.al i h n a g d u s p o o m n e c t o a m ki m ng un t i h c e at r io e n with morn ordered witness to issue a morning order that Lieutenant Davies was to perform th e d ut i es of acting adjutant, and to ut resumeat, before his the he duty. h, During t was hat acting witness wasaadsjntzitei On that e Sergeant Major e m r and Mrs. Lilley wer e i n th e off i ce, or No. 2 room. 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 officer on or about the 10th, 16th, and 22d, when Sergeant Major Lilley was under arrest. He did not remember the orders on the 10th, but on the 16th and 22d they were the original orders that the sentry was not to lose sight of his prisoner, nor to allow anyone into the bungalow except the medical officer, and he had a slight recollection of one native ser vant being mentioned. Colonel Crawley—l beg most respectfully to repeat my protest against the reception of this evidence, and upon the same ground. The President—The court has already decided. Sergeant George Bernard of the 6th Dragoons, examined by Colonel Sir Alfred Horsford, the official prosecutor—l knew Sergeant Major Lilley for about eight years. He was always a very sober steady man. I remember being in the orderly-room very early in May, when I heard Lieutenant Colonel Crawley call on Sergeant Major Cotton, and check him for some irregularity in posting the sentries. I heard Sergeant Maj or Cotton tell Colo ne l C raw l ey the sentry was placed inside the house, and that Mrs.Lilley w as Very sick, and t h a t Sergeant Major Lilley was a married man. The colonel sa id he di d not care, an order W as would have it obeyed. I afterward s all o r d e r, and he heard either Mr. Fitzsimons or Quartermaster Wooden say that Mrs. Lilly was very sick, and that she was obliged to have applied to her shoulder or chest. liniment The Colonel said he did not care a d—, those were the orders, wou ld have them carried out. and he gm .

From No. 2 the sentry could see into Mrs. Lilley's room, and also hear the conversation. Ho was painfully impressed with the fact of the sentry b e i ng pl ace d over Sergeant Lill e y, whom he had knownthat so long, He consi dered the position of the Mr. and Mrs. Lilley, sentry was an annoyance to who was fo seriously l ill. Mrs. Lil:ey generally consumed three or u id r er g in ass t e h s e of brandy daily, on his r ecommendation. Cons Lilley's complaint, and her extreme g debility, ' she ure ofml‘iirlasi have taken three, four, or five glasses of brandy daily g with out producing any prejudicial effect. Lilley was a sober steady man. Witness never saw any appearance about Lilley of drinking, either before or during his arrest. He was allowed to take exercise about the 30th of April, and towards the end of May allowed to sit in the verandah. Witness could not say how long before his death. On the morning of the 19th June Colonel Crawley said to witness as they were riding towards the parade• ground, that Sergeant Major Lilley drank, while under arrest, 23 bottles of brandy, and 12 pints of ale, a bottle of port wi ne , an d s ome gin' When the parade was over, witness waited upon Colonel Crawley and asked him if he wished any sedition to be made to the report of the sergeant major's case in reference to the quantity of liquor suppli e d to hip, during his arrest. The colonel said no, and that he had done it, or that he would do it in his report. That was the only con versation witness had with Col. Crawley about Sergeant Maj 'n. Lilley, and he (witness) repeated the substance of it to Dr. Turnbull. A poet mortem examination showed that death resulted from heat apoplexy. By the official prosecutor (Col. Sir A.
