Was there a surgeon present ?—I believe there was a surgeon present; I was told afterwards there was a sur geon present; I had never observed the surgeon there. Nobody interferes as a surgeon to prevent the continua tion of punishment ?—Nobody ; there was nothing further passed there in any hearing; I was then taken away to the hospital. Does that comprise the substance of what is stated as far as you saw ?—Yes, that is all the evidence that I can positively say did pass; all other things that I know of are what I have heard from others. I shall perhaps have something to state, the Court will know when it is proper I should do so, of what passed between myself and some of the other patients in the hospital ; I believe there are two of them here as witnesses, not on my side of the case. Are they here at all ?—Yes. By the COURT—You are understood, on being taken down, that the remainder of the he nten ce was remitted ? Yes ; I knew very well I would not get the other part of t. I understood that unless it was by the orders of a s , rzeon I wAs taken down, I should not get the other part of it. No other part of the s2ntence has been carried into exe cution ?—No. Cross-examined by Major WYNDUAMI What was the age of the horse you mounted ?—I never heard the horse's age mentioned. By the COURT—Was he an old horse, as you believe ? No. Was the horse a quiet horse ?—I do not know how the horse is in regard to being quiet in the stable, I never had kept the horse in the stable; but he was a very rough horse to ride. I had heard that from other people who had been in the habit of riding him. What do you mean, rough to ride or rough to manage ? —I mean rough to ride, rough in trotting, or in any other pace; he was rough at any pace when riding. Was he unsteady or unmanageable ?—I cannot say he was unmanageable for a man who was perfectly skilled in riding, but he was unmanageable for me who had had very little experience in riding. How long had you been riding in the school, since you joined, from the period when this occurred ?—Wheu I first went to the school it was about the 17th or 18th of March ; that was the first day I ever went into the school, and that was the 28th of May that I was riding. What class of riding were you in ?—ln the first class; I mean to be understood by that, that it was the youngest class of recruits that I was in ; Ido not know how the classes may be numbered. Did you ever ride the horse again after that day?.— Yes, once ; I rode the horse one time afterwards. How long after ?—I cannot be sure how long it was, it was after I came out of the hospital, I should think about three weeks. Was it not two days after you left the hospital ?—I can not say whether it was or not; I know it was after I left the hospital; I cannot give a positive answer to that. Cannot you say whereabouts ?—I may now be allowed to give a more decided answer to that last question ; by Lieutenant Gillies' orders, I was not at the school at all for ten days after I left the hospital, so it could not be two days after. Did you not come cut of the 1 o pital on the Month y, and ride the horse on the Wednesday following?—No, I did not. Did you not take a lesson, or part, on Wednesday, and did not Lieutenant Gillies excuse your taking the n mainder ?--Ne, I was not in the school on Wednesday. _ . Did you not ask Lieutenant Gillies to excuse you the remainder of the ride on Wednesday, being very unwell? —Not the Wednesday after I came out of the hospital. I once asked that of Lieutenant Gillies, but that was a few weeks after. Not the following week after your coming out of tl e hospital ?--It was not the following week ; it was the work before I left Birmingham for Coventry that I tok(.d that of Lieutenant Gillies. What horse did you ride the day you acknowledge to have ridden after you came out of the hospital ?—I rode the horse which I formerly had ridden at the school always, which was No. 3 of D troop. _ . _ . _ Was it the same horse that bad tome I out of the ranks with you ?—No, the horse I had usually ridden in the school. At what date did you leave Birmingham for Coventry ? —I think it was the 21st June. I think it was there abouts ; I cannot positively say. What date did you attend the sergeant's funeral at St. Phillip's church ?-1 do not recollect what day it was. I think it was either the Saturday after I came out of the hospital, or the Saturday following ; I cannot positively say which it was ; it was on a Saturday. Did you say that I used the expression that you was getting sulky on their hands ?—Yes. Did I not say that you had committed a crime which could not be overlooked before I read the newspaper ?—I cannot be sure whether Major Wyndham said that or not ; I have already stated, in my first evidence, that some words passed which I could not be sure of ; I believe Major Wyndham did make some allusion to the crime in the rifling-school; but I understood at once when Major Wyndham said I was getting sulky, that that was the crime in the riding-school, for I immediately answered it. Are you sure that I made use of the following expres sions :—When I look at your conduct yesterday, that is, the day before, in the riding school, and writing these letters, I think you have been guilty of a very great crime, and I am fully convinced you will never wake a good soldier.y—Yes. Examined by the Couar —Had the horse you were ordered to ride on the 28th of May been before ridden by recruits of your standing and class ?—Not that I know of; I am not aware of its ever having been ridden by any re cruit of my class. When you rode the same horse, after coming out of the hospital, did you find him more gentle and manage able than on the 28th of May, and had you a saddle with stirrups on the latter occasion ?—Yes ; I rode with stir rups on the latter occasion, which accounted for the horse being more manageable. Who is the civilian that had been in the habit of riding the horse you rode at the school on the 28th, and why did he ride a troop horse ?—That is a question I cannot answer ; I never knew his name, or how it was he made the horse. Did the gentleman who rode the horse you were called on to ride on the 28th, ride with the same saddle and hi idle that you did ?—Yes, I think he did ; the gentleman did not ride the horse that day at all. He rode in the same manner as you did ?—Yes, in the same way; the horse was accoutred in the same way as it was the day that I rode it. Were you riding with a saddle or without one on the 29th of May ?—I was riding with a saddle, but without stirrups. _ Were you riding with a bit or a snaffle on the 28th of 111ay?—With a bit and snaffle bridle. You say that the horse gave way in one place, and that he stopped the ride in another : which is right ?—I mean that the horse giving way he stopped the ride ; the horse giving way and turning round with his head inwards to the school, stopped the ride coining up. You said that Lieutenant Gillies observed the horse had no feeling in the side for the leg ; had you spurs on ?—I had not spurs on. Did you try to force hint on ?—Yes I did. Did you, upon being enlisted, take the oath directed by the Mutiny Act to be taken by a recruit when enlisting* ? —I believe it was to the same effect as that ; I have not the least doubt that is the oath. Do you not know that this oath is permanently bind ing on all persons enlisting during the year commencing the 18th of March, 1831, whilst they receive p a y 7— . Yes ; I always understood the oath to be permanently binding until the soldier was lawfully discharged. How do you reconcile your duty, as therein described, with your definition? The witness,: under the advice of his legal adviser, de clined answering the question. Have you often heard the Articles of War read ?—I was never present when they were read but once, and I did not hear them all out. I beg to submit to the Court, that that was a part of my defence whe❑ before the regimental court-martial. I was once present whe❑ they were read. Do you know the 121st section of the Articles of War, —namely, the mode of obtaining redress ? (The same was here handed to the witness.)—l do not know it as it stands there. I never heard them distinctly read. All 1 know was from having heard some of my comrades speak of it. I knew of these words of vexatious appeal, and I did not know how these words might be construed. If you felt aggrieved by your commanding officer, did you not know there was a military mode of snaking your grievance known; and if you fancied Major Wyndham had ill-used you, did you not know you could make a corn- • " OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.

Bentley, New Burlington- IN SOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-AUG. 27. William Greenhill was opposed by Mr. COOKE, for a Mr. Best, and supported by Mr. WOODROFFE. The insolvent had been a cooper and grocer at Hemel. Hemsted ; he had also filled the office of high-constable the hundred of Decoram, and was keeper of the post office of the district. His debts amounted to 2,6001. It appeared, that in consequence of his irregularity in paying up the monies he received as high-constable, to the county treasurer, that gentleman made a complaint of his mis conduct, and he was then called upon to find a security for his regularity in his future payments. He called upon Mr. Best, who is a plumber and glazier at Hemel-Hem wed, and stated to him that in consequence of a new re gulation high-constables were required to give security to the county, but that is was a mere matter of form, and persuaded Mr. Best to give a bond as his security to the county. His payments to the treasurer were not, in con sequence of this transaction, improved in punctuality, and the consequence was, that in March last both he and Mr. Best were arrested on the bond for the sum of 3501. Mr. Best has since, with the assistance of his friends, paid 175/. of this sum, but is still responsible for the remaining balance ; be had no idea of the involved circumstances of the insolvent when he became his secu rity, or he would not have acted as he had done. Imme diately upon his arrest, the insolvent obtained bail, and executed a deed of assignment of his property, copyhold estates, and furniture, &c., to his brother-in-law, a Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Griffin, a respectable auctioneer, as trustees for the benefit of his creditors. The creditors, however, do not appear to have been consulted, and it seems Thompson had a mortgage on the property for 500/., and a Mr. Johnson had another mortgage for another 5001. Part of the property was sold by auction, and the value of the whole was calculated at 1,3001., so that the general body of creditors had but little to liquidate their claims. The 360/. which the insolvent had received of the c o un ty mone y, an d which he ought to have paid over to the treasurer, he had, according to his own asser tions, paid in discharge of his debts to his various trades men. The COURT, after a very long hearing, observed that before the case could be finally disposed of, a new general and a new special balance sheet must be filed, inasmuch as both the present balance sheets were defective in many particulars ; that Mr. Thompson must attend and produce his account with the insolvent, and that six days' notice must be given to the creditors of the filing ; when that was done, the ultimate adjudication would be given. John Davies was opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE, for a Mr. Ward, and supported by Mr. Cooxx. Davie wag a bankrupt in 1812, but bad not obtained LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1832. his certificate ; he also took the benefit of the act in 1817. He was now opposed by Mr. Ward, a timber-merchant and sawyer, in Theobald's-road, for a debt of 131. for tim ber found for building a cottage at Pinner• common. Da vies was a glover in Greek-street, Soho, and was supposed to be doing well in business, when be unfortunately took to building. Ward, in 1829, commenced an action against him for his debt in the Palace Court ; it was removed into the Court of King's Bench, and the plaintiff, after being put to law expenses amounting to 47/., obtained a verdict, but never °trained a shilling of the debt and costs. In the mean time a creditor, a Mr. Poolman, a leather-seller, in West -street, Soho, to whom the insolvent was indebted about 7001. for leather and money lent, and who had paid off a former mortgage of 1001. on the property at Pinner, obtained a mortgage on it for 812/. Mr. Poolman had subsequently advanced another 1001. to the insolvent, for the purpose of paying a composition of ss. in the pound to the rest of his creditors, and had obtained an agreement to have the property of Pinner made over to him as sole owner. Ward was the only creditor who objected to take the 59. in the pound, and it was now insisted on his be half that the mortgage, and making over this property at Pinner to Mr. Poolman, was as to him (Ward) a fraudu lent preference on the part of the insolvent, and that the defence to the action was a vexatious one. The COURT decreed that the insolvent be imprisoned for seven calendar months from the date of his petition. THE ARMY. The troop of the sth Dragoon Guards which had been stationed in Kilkenny for the last few weeks marched on Saturday to Carlow. Same day a company of the 70th Regiment marched for the same destination. Another company of the 70th has arrived at Castlecomer; and a third, which was on its way to Tullow, has been batted at Leighlin Bridge till further orders, in consequence of cho lera having broken out at Tullow. A detachment of the 60th Rifles has replaced a party of the 92d Highlanders at Cashel. The 67. h Reserve, cantoned in Galway, expect an order to march for the southern district. Lieutenant Eyre, and his detachment of the 74th Regi ment, have moved from Urlingford to Johnstown. The Paymastership of the 96th Regiment is vacant by the death of Captain Scott.

GREECE.—Extract of a letter from a British officer, Zante, July 14 :—" Some of our officers the other thy went to see Olympus and the other curiosities. Cow coramci entertained them very handsomely ; there were several of his officers at table, all armed, up to the elbows, with pistols and yatagans (or daggers); they sung Greek national airs, gave toasts complimentary to each other, &c. To give you an idea of the small state of civilization in that country, one of his officers had drank too much wine, and was very boisterous, at each toast taking up a plate, and breaking it against the table. CoLocontoszt spoke once or twice to him to desist. He at length pulled out a four.barrelled pistol, and put it on the table, and swore, with a horrible oath, that if that person did not immedi ately sit down, and conduct himself quietly, he would 'hoot him dead : this had the desired effect, and he was immediately quiet for the rest of the evening. Another instance.—An officer of ours was in company with some Greeks at Zovidor, on the opposite coast ; there was a dispute between two of them, when one gave the other a flat contradiction, who immediately shot him on the spot ! —a pleasant scene for the officer, but nothing uncommon there. Some of the garrison of Santa Manro went the other day to Missolonghi ; several shots were fired at them while they were viewing the works; upon reference to the Greek authorities, the person who did so was found out, who said he did not know they were English, awl was only trying a new gun,—Pretty targets The Civil Departments of the Navy, former ly called the Admiralty, the Navy Office, and the Vic tualling Office, are now all consolidated in So merset House, and doors of communication have been made from one office to another, and controlled, not as heretofore, by three Boards (the Admiralty, Navy, and Victualling), but by the Lords of the Admiralty, assisted by five superior officers or heads of department, called Accomptant General, Surveyor of the Navy, Storekeeper- General, Physician-General, and Comptroller of Victual ling and Transports. This consolidated office is called the Admiralty, but is divided into the " Admiralty" as for merly existing, and the " Admiralty, Somerset House." With the consolidation of the duties of Navy, Victualling, and Admiralty, a portion of the duties of the Navy Pay Office has also been consolidated, namely, all remittances, either of half pay, widows' and other pensions (except Greenwich out-pensions), seamen's wages, &c. All prize claims and duties, except the actual payment of prize !no n,y ; all claims to the wages of petty officers of the Navy, seamen, and marines, &c. ; in short, all duties, except the receipt and payment of money. This arrangement has not been extended to the Greenwich out-pension depart ment, which, being carried on in a separate office at Tow er-hill, and being of a peculiar nature, and the arrange ments well adapted to the peculiar class of persons for whom it has been established, has not been disturbed. There is every reason to believe that these arrangements will be highly beneficial, infuse new vigor into the whole navy, and by greater simplicity in the details of general business, produce greater despatch. Moreover, the ac counts will be, in future, kept on the mercantile plan, be regularly audited by the Audit Office, and an annual balance-sheet be laid before Parliament, showing whether the sums voted under each bead of service have or have not exceeded the votes of Parliament for each specific head. There is another advantage resulting from this arrangement—the business will be done with fewer hands, and we hear that a saving may be hoped for of nearly 27,0001, per annum; but as the pensions to reduced offi cers will amount to 20,0001., the immediate saving will he only 7,0001. a year. It is sincerely wished this ar rangement will ensure every possible success, and there is little doubt of it. It is the first effort i❑ this country to carry the mercantile principle into the public accounts, and in no distant period it will be applied to other depart ments—the Navy leads the van. It is ultimately intended to have but one Pay Office for the Navy, Army, and Ordnance; this will effect a great saving—the Army Pay Office has ❑ever been looked into, and the moneys for the Army are always voted " in the aggregate," while those fur the Navy are voted " separately ;" thus one branch of the service has been thoroughly silted, and the other has not bee❑ inquired into : under the new arrangement it is impossible f, r any cashier to become a defaulter. Public naval letters are to be addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, but the name of the service on which the letter is written is to be marked on the left hand lower corner, such as " Navy Pay," " Victualling," " Medical." --- Hampshire Telegraph. The CASE of ALEXANDER SOMERVILLE. The following are extracts from the documents pre sented to Parliament by Sir John Cam Hobhouse THE PROTEST OF ALEXANDER SOMERVILLE. To the Hon. Sir Thomas 13radford and the Members of the Military Court of Inquiry, assembled at Weedon, on Wednesday, the I Sth day of July. The Protest of Alexander Somerville, Private of the 2d or Royal North British Dragoons. I have been informed and understand that the said Court of Inquiry was ordered on the question, whether I was punished for disobeying the orders of Lieutenant Gillies, of the said regiment, or for writing a letter to the Dispatch newspaper on political subjects. I attended at the said Court of Inquiry, expecting to be called as a witness on the aforesaid question, as I have been informed and believe, under the sanction of the Right Hon. the Secretary at War, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, and although disclaiming the expensive and onerous situa tion of public accuser, I am ready and willing to give tes timony to the treatment I have received, and witnesses are in attendance to prove the fact. _ In the full and fearless challenge which I am prepared to give my oppressors, the Court of Inquiry has declined to examine me and the witnesses in attendance, and I have no means of obtaining justice under the order of the Corn mander-in-Chief, except in protesting against any adjourn ment of the Court until the ends of justice are fully an swered. A. SOMERVILLE. Weedon, July 19. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE COURT. Horse Guards, July 20, 1832. Sir—Having had the honour to submit to the General Commanding in Chief your letter of yesterday's date, I have it in command to express Lord Hill's approval of your having adjourned the Court of Inquiry of which you are President to Monday next, the 23d instant, for the reasons which you so fully stated this morning in person, and which are recorded by the Court. His Lordship desires that the investigation of the case before the Court may be resumed on the day above men tioned ; that private Aleiander Somerville may be re quired by the Court to adduce the witnesses in support of his allegations ; that the question of his being accuser or prosecutor upon this occasion may be entirely waived by the Court ; that he himself and his witnesses may be examined by the Court under the advice of the Judge Advocate General ; and that the same course may be adopted with regard to Major Wyndham and his witnesses. Lord Hill desires me to repeat, that the legal advisers in such cases are not to be permitted to address the Court themselves, but that they are to be allowed the very ut most latitude that they may desire in suggesting to their respective clients (when not under examination as witness es) whatever they shall think advantageous to their cases, both as to cross questioning witnesses, and as to written or even verbal addresses to the Court. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient bum ble servant, JOHN MACDONALD, A. G. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Bradford, K.C.8., &c. Lln consequence of these additional instructions follow ing the protest, the inquiry was resumed.] Private Alexander Somerville, examined as follows, by the JUDGE ADVOCATE (July 23, 1832.) Previous to his examination he was addressed by the Judge Advocate, who said, " It is my duty to inform you, that though this Court has not the power of taking evi dence on oath, yet besides the obligation of conscience that is on every witness who is called here to speak the truth, he is hereafter liable to be sworn to what he now deposes." When were you enlisted?—l cannot state the precise day ; it was about the first or second week of December, 1831. Did you join the regiment immediately, or when ?—As nearly as I recollect, about seven weeks after I enlisted I joined the regiment. Where was the regiment when you joined it ?—At Brighton. Were you afterwards at Birmingham ?—Yes. With a part of the regiment?—Yes._ Do you recollect attending in the riding-school on or about the 28th of May last, to take lessons in riding ? Yes, I was in the school on the 28th of May. Ca❑ you state what passed there ?—I had received orders the night before to take a horse, which was not the one I usually took, to the school. On the following morning, after taking the horse into the school, I was ordered by Lieutenant Gillies to mount the horse. I did not think when I went in there with the horse that I was to ride it. I had twice before taken the same horse there, and it was ridden by a civilian. When I went into the school, Lieutenant Gillies asked me where was my switch, and I said I had not brought one, not thinking I was to ride the horse. I was desired to go and get it, which I did, and then I mounted according to Lieutenant Gillies' orders. What happened next?—We were in line in the school, and then got the word " March," to go round the school. In line or in file ?—I believe it was in file, singly. I found the horse was very rough, and I was riding without stirrups. I found myself sitting very unsteady ; some times, whenever we came to the turn in the school, I be came almost unseated, from not being able to sit steady ; this made me give more weight to the reins than I would have done, had I been able to sit perfectly steady ; and the horse gave way whenever I moved the reins—gave way out of the ranks. Lieutenant Gillies noticed immediately that I was not sitting as steady as I could do, and made some observations, but I cannot now recollect what they were. Of what kind were they ?—They were in such a way as merely stating to me how to sit or how to manage the horse, something that way; in a very cool manner they were given. I think there were either seven or eight files riding. Sergeant Glen was in the front of me, he was the first or the second file, the horse making a stop in the way so often. lam sure it was at least four or five times that the horse stepped with me. Sergeant Glen rode out, and came round in the rear of the ride, which consequently left me in the front, and that disordered the ride altogether ; then Lieutenant Gillies made some obser vation about the way that I was riding the horse ; that he thought I was not doing it as well as I could do; and he said, that any child in the barracks could be made to ride it. I made no reply to that, but upon getting the word to march again,—we had previously got the word to halt, — on getting the word to march, I went away the same as before. You moved on as before?—Yes ; upon the same circum stances occurring again with the horse and myself, Lieut. Gillies stopped us again, and came forward to me, and made some observations about the horse being very light in the mouth, and could not bear to be touched by the reins, and having no feeling in the side for the leg ; when Lieutenant Gillies was just going to give the word to march, I said I did not think I could ride the horse. Lieutenant Gillies said, it was because the horse was not easily managed that he had set me on it. We again got the word to march, and in a few minutes afterwards, the horse being still as uneasy to manage as before, on turning out, I dismounted. You mean to say that the horse again turned out of the ranks, from the causes you have before described ?—Yes. By the COURT—You turned into the middle of the school from the ride, and dismounted?—Yes. What took place next?--Lieutenant Galles came for ward to me, and demanded why I had dismounted, and I said that I could not manage the horse ; that I could not manage the horse, were the words I said at first; and Lieut. Gillies said, that it was his duty to teach me ; and then he ordered me to remount; then I said, no, that I would not mount; Lieut. Gillies said, that I would either do that or go to confinement, and gave me again the order to mount, and I remained silent ; I did not say any thing, Did you mount ?—I did not say any thing, but I did not mount either; the orderly being in the school, Lieut. Gabes bade the orderly go for a file of the guard, and the guard came into the school, which was Corporal ArLure and two privates ; Lieut. Gillies said to me again, that he would gi ve me another chance either to mount or to go to confinem ent ; he bade me either mount or go t o confine went, and I said that I would rather go to confinement. I was then taken away to the guard-house. How long did you remain in the guard-house ?—I think that was about 9 in the morning, on the morning of the 28th ; I cannot positively say that that was the hour, and there was no one came to me, either speaking, or to call me to unde rgo an exam i nat i on, or an y thing of the ki w i , until about 10 i n t h e forenoon o f th e same day; I cannot positively say that th a t was the hour, but it was about that time in the f orenoon. After I h a d b een a b ou t an h our in (PRICE 7D.) the guard-house, Corporal APLure came to me, and began talking to me. [The witness here stating that Corporal M'Lure spoke to him entirely of his own accord, and not from authority, the Court were of opinion that that conversation could not be received in evidence.] While you were in confinement, were you sent for by the commanding officer or any officer of the regiment?— The next morning, about 10 o'clock of the 29tb, Regi mental Sergeant-Major Nelson came into the guard-house, and said to me, What do you think of yourself now ? I -aid I was very sorry for having disobeyed Lieutenant Gillies' orders in tha riding-school yesterday. Sergeant- Major Nelson interrupted me as I was saying that, and said, Oh ! I see you are getting afraid of us now. I said there was a difference between being afraid, and being sorry for having committed an offence. Sergeant-Major Nelson then bade me come along with him. Did he say where you were to go?—He did not. Did you go with - him?—Yes, I went with him; I could not positively say where it was said we were to go to or not; I once understood it was before the corn manding. officer we were going. Did you then go to the commanding-officer ?—Yes. What commanding-officer?—Major Wyndham. What passed between you and Major Wyndham?— When I went into the room where Major Wyndham was, Major Wyndham said I was getting sulky on their hands. Was any body present besides Major Wyndham and yourself during the conversation that passed ?—Yes, Regi mental Sergeant-Major Nelson was present, and Adjutant Ricketts. State, as nearly as you can remember, the particulars of the conversation that followed ?—I said that I had no sulkiness about me; that I had surely committed a breach of discipline yesterday in the school, but was very sorry for it. Major Wyndham then said, Oh ! but I have some thing else to say to you, and at the same time taking up the Dispatch newspaper, asked me if I knew any thing of the libel which had been written about the Scotch Greys. I said that I did not know any thing of any libel, but that I had written a letter to the editor of the Dispatch, and I believe part of it was published. Major Wyndham then asked me a second time positively, whether it was me who wrote the letter, and I said, yes; and then Major Wyndham said, you do not think that is a libel, but I think it is worse, for it is treason. He then said further, did I not know that I was a soldier, that I was sworn to the King, paid by the King, and bound to support him in whatever measures his Majesty or his Government might take. I said that I did not consider myself paid by the King, that I thought I wr.s paid by the people, that I was only sworn to support the King in the capacity of being head of the people; and that when his Majesty thought fit to sever himself from the nation and the nation's inte rests, I did not think the oath of allegiance was any longer binding. The PRESIDENT here acquainted the witness, that he was not under the necessity of mentioning any thing which might tend to criminate himself. Private Somerville's legal adviser state I that he could not advise his client to keep back any part of what be had said. Major Wyndham then proceeded to read the extract from the letter which was published in the Dispatch, and after reading a sentence or two, made some comments on it—some observations which I cannot be sure of what they were altogether, although I shall state a part of them. After coming to that part of it which speaks about some of the Scotch Greys having joined in the Political Union, Major Wyndham asked me how I knew that any of them had done so ? I said that I had had very good infor mation. Major Wyndham then asked the names of them —who they were; and I said that I might hereafter give up their names, but at present I would not do so. Major Wyndham then going on a little further to where I had said in my letter that, in the event of any outrage taking place, we, the Scotch Greys, would certainly consider it our duty to put down all disorderly conduct, Major Wyndham observed that this was very right ; he perfectly agreed with me. In a rematk which the editor of the Dispatch had made upon it, the editor had said some thing of this brave and patriotic soldier ; Major Wyndham said, I dare say you are intelligent enough, hut God knows we know little of your bravery. Major Wyndham then again spoke of the Political Unions as being illegal socie ties, and said that I had been giving encouragement to the mob to break the peace, at a time when it was the duty of every soldier to do otherwise. I said that I always thought Political Unions to be within the bounds of law, for his Majesty's Government had declared them to be so ; and so far from giving encouragement to tke mob to break the peace, I had expressed the very contrary in my letter. Major Wyndham then said, that when he looked at my conduct yesterday—that was the day before, in the riding school—and writing these letters, he thought that I had been guilty of a very great crime, and was fully convinced I would never make a good soldier. I said that I had surely been guilty of a crime yesterday in the riding school ; and as to the writing of the letter, I formed a very different opinion of it. Major Wyndham then said you will repent of that, and ordered the sergeant-major to take me back to the guard-house. As far as you recollect, was that all which passed at this interview ?—There were other words passed besides those I have given, but these are all the precise words I recollect which passed between Major Wyndham and my self; I know there were some other words, but I do not recollect what those words were that I have not stated. Was there any thing material passed which you have not stated, as you believe ?—No ; I do not think there was any thing material ; every thing which passed was expressed in the words 1 have given, unless it was some immaterial thing which I did not take much notice of at the time. By the Coy RT—ln fact, you have told all that made any impression on your mind ?—Yes. Were you afterwards served with a charge to be tried before a court-martial ?—Yes ; I was taken back to the guard-house, and after I had been about ten minutes there, I cannot positively say whether it was less than ten or a few minutes more, but a very short time which did not exceed ten minutes, the regimental sergeant-major again came to me and handed me an indictment of my crime written on a piece of paper, and told me to prepare immedi ately for a regimental court-martial. Was the crime in writing ?—Yes; I have it not here ; I know very near what the words were. Could you remember it if it was read to you ?—I think I could. [A copy of the crime having been read over to, witness, he replied]—Yes, that is it. [At this period of the examination, a copy of the charge on which Somerville was brought to the court-martial at Birmingham, and a copy of the sentence passed on him, were laid before the Court, and will be found in the ap pendix.] Were you taken before the court-martial, and when ? —There is something I think it is perhaps important for the Court to know, which passed before : I think I last stated that the regimental sergeant-major served me with the charge, and after being out of the door nearly half way from the guard-house to the officers' barracks, he turned back again, and told me if I had any witnesses to call, to say whom they were, and their attendance would be ordered. I said I should require a few minutes' consideration before I thought who it might be necessary to call as evidence; the regimental sergeant-major said I must say at once who it was, there was no time to lose to be put off in that way. Did you name any witnesses ?—I did not say anything; I did not call witnesses. By the COURT—You gave in no list of witnesses?—No. When were you before the regimental court-martial to be tried ?—lt was on the 29th of May last. By the COURT—How soon after that remark of the sergeant-major did you appear before the Court ?—I think it did not exceed half an hour, or three quarters; I am sure it was not an hour before I was taken before the court martial. Can you specify at what hour the court-martial sat ? I think it was near the hour of 12, or thereabouts ; it could hardly be 12, for it was not the usual hour of dinner after the court was over when we came out. When was the punishment which the sentence awarded inflicted ?—lt was four in the afternoon. Of the same day ?—Yes. Were 100 lashes inflicted ?—Yes ; Major Wyndham read over the minutes of the Court and the sentence ; and added that he, the commanding officer, approved of it. The sentence was 200 lashes. He read over the whole proceedings ?—The whole of the minutes of the Court and the sentence; the minutes of the Court which Major Wyndham read were as given by the clerk of the Court ; I shall be hereafter prepared to prove by my own evidence and the evidence
