past seven o'clock on Monday evening, and, beaded
by their band, marched to the camp, where prepara-
tions had been made by the recruits for their reception.

throughout the day was unfavourable, and the rain
descended in torrents shortly after the men's arrival

hoped that it will continue so during the training.

who until lately wee in the employ of the same Company.
There was • creeesuounthe against Cowing for assaulting

said be took • load of meal to Breakage Island in the
lighter on the 10th of April, end as the water was too low
to get alcomdcle the Coatis-Wu he moved the lighter off the
pier, and the steam launch was moored outside. Mr. Fry
(the manager of the company) and defendant were on the
pier when I. arrived. Kr. Fry asked him to get the boat
unloaded as quickly as he could, and he said he would do
so us soon as he could get alongside, which would not be
for an hour or an hour and •half. Mr. Fry and defendant
went away, but defendant returned and told him not to
put his time down to him for what he did that week at
that end of the island. He replied that he did not put
any time down to him, and defendant kept on telling him
not to do so. He told defendant ft was not much um to
put time down to him, as be hadn't enough money to pay
• turnpike gate for • walking stick. Other conversation
frtZtand .defendant spat down at him, and he told him
as up there he would get his nose denims& Defen-
dant asked why he did not come up, and he told him he
knew that he could not. Defendant then said be would
come down, and slipped down to the lighter, • distance of
about 10 feet. He was standing on the caddy of the
lighter and defendant came to him and said " Now, —,
you shall go overboard. if I go too." Defendant
struck him • blow in the face, and knocked him
Into the water between the steamboat and the
lighter. After he was in the water defendant knelt
on the launch and held him down in the water with
his left hand and wrung his riiht fist over him, saying—
You —, I'll drown you. Matthew Gould pulled
defendant away, and put • plank on the pier and got him
ashore. He was left in the water lying OD his back all
the time, and if John Murray had not pulled him out by
the collar he would have been drowned. He went ashore,
and defendant, who had changed his clothes, ran after
him and wrung his fiste in his face and challenged him to
fight He told defendant he must be a scoundrel to want
to kill him alter trying to drown him. Mr. Fry, who was
present, took
Liiaat him away, and sent him to Poole in the
steam —ln crows-examination by Mr. Trevanion,

he fell overboard. He denied using foul expressions to
defendant —John Murray, engineer on board the steam
laundl, said he beard the row. Defendant told complainant
he bad not seen him since Monday. and that he should
not take his time, whereupon complainant abused defen-
dant very much and said what he would do if he could
get up on the quay. Defendant said if he could not come
up there he would come down to him, and went down the
ropes of the lighter. The man got hold of each other on
the ruddy and both fell overboard. He and his mate
pulled them out. Defendant did not strike complainant
—Croseexamined by Kr. Trevanion : Complainant used
very foul language to defendant, and he was not surprised

Into the boat and strike complainant. The men closed,
and in the struggle both of them went overboard. Defen-
dant had been 16 years in Her Majesty's service as a
park•keeper, and bore an excellent character.—Matthew

he has no doubt but that it will be all right, but
there has not been a marriage at Saint Starr= • for
more than twenty years.

The preliminary arrangements have been 'wade. The
banns have been put up and I bars reason to believe
we have been aabid in church on three consecutive
SnaJays, although I have not been to Saint Starvues
to hear. And now the day has arrived.

his fare. One is not married every day. The cabman
pockets it without any outward manifestation of
feeling. He lees drive • cab every day.

I meet the verger, and a youthful curate, laid on for
the occasion, who is to adjust the noose—l mean tie
the knot. He seems awe-etrikein on hearing who I
am. and shakos hands with me as the Ordinary at

we are at the church—good gracious f
A perfect mob await me on the steps. I am
absolutely cheered.
I have • good mind to run away, but bow can I do
so when I expect Mies Pinner to arrive every moment.
Instead, I dash through the mob, and plunging into •
high pew, throw myself upon • seat and pant.
But even here I am not safe from the rabble. They
crowd round and point at me, and talk about me as
though I were part of • waxworks. Presently some-
one tape me on the shoulder, and a voice I know says:
" You're an old sly hots, aren't you? e all
