THE EXPEDITIONS AGAINST THE MOBJAH CHIEFS IN

tion against the Moriah Chiefs in the neighbourhood of

—eroetSti Leone
plies a lively history of the origin and settlement of the
quarrel. An agreement was at length effected in June last,
by which the English Government agreed to waive a demand
on King Bambah Mina Lahi and other chiefs for the pay-
ment of a certain cash balance, in return for which conces-
sion Lahi was required to release all prisoners then in the
country, to deliver up every article of arms and accoutre-
ments belonging to the Queen's troops, and to open the rivers
and roads forthwith for the free and undisputed trade of
English and French merchants. The list of killed, wounded,
and missing at Malagheah on the 22nd and 23rd of May last,
included (in the Ist West India Regiment) 1 offiCer, 1 ser-
geant, 1 drummer, and 18 privates, killed ; 1 drummer and
2 privates wounded ; and 1 sergeant missing. In the 2nd
West India Regiment, Lieutenant Vincent was dangerously
wounded. In the 3rd West India Regiment, Major Scanlon,
5 non-commissoned officers, and 32 privates were killed, and
8 privates wounded, while General Firth of the Commissariat
Staff, was killed. As a measure of precaution, the militia
were called out for 10 days' drill, but as matters remained
quiet they were dismissed on the 11th of June.

_
POOR-LAW REMOVAL OF THE WIVES AND CHILDREN OF
MILITIAMEN.—In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Wednes-
day, there was heard a case of considerable importance to the
wives and children of husbands and fathers serving in the
militia. The question was, whether they are not entitle to
the same privileges, under the operation of the poor-law, that
the wives and children of soldiers of the line, sailors, and
marines, are entitled to under that law. The case came be-
fore the court for the opinion of their lordships, in the shape
of an appeal against an order of two of the justices of Leeds,
for the removal of the wife and children of a man serving in
one of the English regiments of militia at present stationed
in Dublin. It was contended on the one part, that militia
soldiers do not come within the meaning of the 9th and 10th
Vic., cap. 60, in reference to the removal of their wives and
children, in the same manner as soldiers of the line, sailors,
and marines came within it.—Lord Campbell said the court
was of opinion that the person whose wife and children ought
to be removed came within the provisions of the act, and was
a soldier within its meaning; and there was no reason why
the same protection of removability should not apply to the
wives and families of militiamen serving her Majesty, as to
soldiers of the line, sailors, and marines. 'The order for re-
moval should, therefore, be quashed. Order quashed accord-
ingly.
