WIIIBORNE.—FUNIMAL OP THU LAT. CAPTAIN
H•NRANIP—Ihe mortal remains of the late Adjutant
and Captain Hanham, who had fallen a victim to
malice and revenge at Futwood Barracks, Preston,
were interred at the Wimborne Cemetery, on
Thursday night, by torchlight, in the presence of an
immense concourse of spectators. The circiumstashose
attending the death of the deceased were simply
then :—Tbe murderer, • Patrick Ill'Caffery, is it
young man, 20 yoke of age. He is a native o
fj
Preston, though of Irish extraction, and eulistcri i
the 32nd Reginent of Foot shout 12 months ago.
It appears that of late a great number of childred
have gained acCess to the berracklard, and bete
caused considerable ansoyanoe. lireaffery, on going
on ditty. was ordered to obtain their neaten •in
order that steps might be taken to secure an slut*
mint of the nuisance. On being &eked if he had
obeyed the instructions giveu to him, he answered
with some Paeans= that he had not, and teethe
neglect of duty he was, on Saturday week, sentenced
by the Adjutant, Captain Hanhaes, and other
officers, to confinement in barracks for 14 days.
g'Caffery on receiving his sentence, went direct to his
ORO room, which is in the $ passage on the west side
of the first or infantry quadrangle. He took down his
rifle, and borrowed a piece of oiled cloth leoui a comrade
with which be cleaned it. He then went into an
adjoining passage where it is supposed that he hided
the ride. Shortly afterwards the snapyeng of. per'
cession cup was heard, but though winker' to orders,
no particular notion was paid to the circumstance, as it
was believed to be simply done for amusement. hums'
dustily afterwards, however, namely. at 11 o'clock",
M'Catery was seen to kneel down at the window of
his room and fire his rifle. Major Coils, who was
writing in his room at the north end of the barracks,
heard the report, and presuming that there was some-
thing wrong, went to the window. He saw Col. Crofton
and Captain Hanhato standing in the centre of the
barrack square. Col. Crofton threw up both hands,
and exclaimed, "Oh! my God, I am shot !" Major
Coll* at once went to his assistance, and on reaching ,
the square saw that Captain Hanhrou was also wounded, 1
blood flowing in streams from his left side. Another
officer cause up, and supported the adjutant. Major
Coils ran to the Colonel, and, placing his um round
the unfortunate officer's waist, led hint to his quarters.
The colonel. while being led to his nioin, ezelainmed, "I
amn dne for-1 amu shut through the lunp." He also asked
who did it, but Mijor Calls was unable to inform him.
Time colonel was placed in 6,n easy chair, stpd his uniform
removed, when it was found that he liad been shot
through the lower pert of the chest. Captain Benham
walked to his quarters without assistance. Medical aid
was at once procured, and upon examination by Drs.
Donald, Clark, and Hammond, it was food that the :
ball had struck (Monet Crofton. on his left side, had
completely reseed through the left lung and out at the
right side. It then appears to bare struck Captain
Henham, who was walking arm-in-arm with the colonel.
It passed through the left arm amid settled in the back,
near the region of the spine. It was afteswards ex-
tracted by Drs. Donald and Clarke. M'Caffery was at
once rrr e r ted, the only remark he made to the soldier
I elioerrested Imila being, " Heys. take my rifle." He
was subsequently handed over to the civil authorities,
, and was removed, in charge of Captain Elgee and Mr.
I Superintendent Green, of the county constabulary, to
the House of Correction. Siam his confinement, be
' appears hardly to have realised the position in which
he is placed. to conversation with Colonel Martin, the
governor of the gaol, he reimaked that he did not in-
tend to hit Colonel Crofton, but only to injure Captain
lianimani. He said he hoped, as be had no intention
of killing the colouel, they would let him ko, or he
would not wind being transported. '' The injuries in-
fiicted on the two officers proved fatal. Colonel
Crofton died at the barracks at half-past nine on
Sunday night, and Adjutant Heehaw, of whose
recovery there were at first hopes, expired at half-put
11 o'clock on !Sundae morning. The greatest excite-
mete, we are told, (mated, not truly at the barracks,
but throughout the town of Preston, The
inquest on the bodies terminated on Tuesday.
The witnesses examined threw no lightupon the matter;
indeed the case was too simple, and the guilt of the
prisoner too clear to admit of lengthened investigation.
A verdict of wilful murder was returned against
Ill'Caffery, who from the first admitted his guilt. The
body of Coloma Crofton was conveyed on Tuesday
afternoon tethe railway station ea roue, to Leamington ;
that of Captain Denham on the following evening,
en rents to Wimborne. The mournful cavalcade left
Fulwood Barracks shortly before 5 o'clock, but long
before that hour thousands of persons lined the way
from the barracke to the railway station. The whole of the
shops in Church Street and Fishergete, through which
' the procession had to pass, were closed out of respect
! to the deceased and sympathy with his friends on their
' sad bereavement. Every upper window was, however.
crowded with spectators, and the demeanour of the
vast crowd was remarkably orderly. The funeral
procession left the barracks in the Calamine order :
Detachment of the 55th, 41st, 10th, 2911, and 32nd
Regiments, with arms reversed. Then cams the band
of the 3rd Royal Lancashire Militia.with drum, mulled,
playine "the Dead March in Saul." Immediately
following was the corpse, enclosed in three coffins,
borne on • gun carriage drawn by two black homes
tandem, the horses being attended on each side by three
Dragoons cloaked.- 'The coffin was shrouded in the
regimental colours, and upon it were placed the sword,
belt, sash, and shako of the deceased. Nearly two
hours were ocdupied in the march from the barracks to
the station, • little more than a mile. On reaching the
station the procession passed through the west entrance
and the corpse was placed in the guard's van. At the
station several°, the officers expressed theirgratificati in
at the marks of respect which bad been paid by the
inhabitants°, Preston to the memory of the deceased.
Captain Bluett, out/shelf of the members of the Depot,
thanked Majors Godeir and Birchall for the attendance
of the Rife and Artillery Volunteers. The procession.
returned to the barracks after depositing the corpse
in the VILA, 1014 Telling in quick time. The corpse
left Preston by the London and North-Western 10,45
p.m. train, rid Ifirminginomm, Osford, Reading,'Wolver.
hainpton, and Bishopstoke, accompanied by Captain
Clarke, 29th Regiment, Dr: Clarke, the regimental
surgeon, and another officer. At Wimborne the whole
of the shops were closed at 12 o'clock at 110011, as the
body was expected to arrive by the 1.36 p.m. train aid
Dorchester. but owing to being detained five hours at
Rugby, it did not reach Wiinboide station till about
half-past eight in the evening. During the afternoon
considerable excitement was caused by the delay, and
the telegraph was kept at work Up and down the line,
Shortly after the arrival of the body at the station, the
Wiumborne Rifle 'Younker' were called together by the
sound of the bugle, and were marched to the station,
where were assembled an immense concourse of persons,
includiqe nearly the whole of the resident gentry of
the neighbourhood. After the coffin had been placed in
the hearse, the procession began to move towards the
cemetry, proceeded by torchbearers. Then came the
Wiieborne Ride Volunteer Corps, with arms reversed.
The Wimborne Rifle Corps band, with drums muffled,
playing the " Dead March" in Sash. Immediately
following was the hearse, and two mourning comities,
with torch-bearers and members of the Wimborne
Bilk Corps on either side, forming guard of honour.
The chief mourners were J. B. Garland, Esq., the Rev,
G. V. Garland, Swanage, Captain Copeland, Colonel Loy,
Captain Clarke, Dr. Clarke, Major Portinan, Rev. H.
P. C.ookesley.and Mr. Cornish. Afterwards came the pri-
vate carrizsesof Major Adey, Major Neiman, J. B.
Garland. 1., and others, followed by this tenantry
and some 1,00 or 1,600 persons on foot. The crowded
state of the road and' Mon the streets of Wimborne,
the slow movement of the procession, the mournful
strains of the band, the sombre appumnee of the
corftge, the respectful demeanour et the spectators, the
glare of smile fifty torches, and the reinepil.rance of the
sad came of all these trappings of woe, rendered the
scene one of the most solemn and imposing spectacles
it is poseible to contemplate. Never before, perhaps,
was such a scene in the county. The number of persons
present, including the spectators Ana those who followed
could not be less than 4,000. Upwards of an hour was
occupied in the march from the railway Medea to the
cemetery. On reaching the cemetery gates, the coffin
was taken from the hearse and shrouded in • Union
Jack, and upon the whole was placed the sword, belt,
sash, and shako of the deceased. The cemetery was
won filled with persons, and it required all the mew
of Superintendent Baynton and the small body of
police constables at his command to prevent too greet a
rush. And here we may say that great praise is due to
the police officers for the great tact and judgment that
was displayed. • The beautiful service for the burial 'of '
the dead,according to time rites of the Chureh of England,
was reaci by the Rev. H. P. Cookesley in a most solemn
and impressive' manner, and many who were present i
could not refrain the shedding of a tear. The Wim•
borne Volunteers then perforined the usual military
duties on Sunk occasions, and fired three volleys of
blank cartridge over the grave. Long after the
service was ended, the company lingered in the
ground; it seemed that all present wished to have a.
glimpse piths coffin that had been lowered into the new
brick vault that had been purposely built for Belmont'.
The coffin, which was made of polished oak, bore on the
plate the following inscription: John Hanhain,
Adjutant and Captain, 11th depst Battalion, born
14th June, 1823, dad 111th September, 1861, aged 38.
It is a somewhat Murder circumstance that both el the
doomed officers were heirs apparent to W031446/8.
Captain Hanham was heir presumptive to the baron.
sky of which hie eldest brother, Sir William Han'
ham, is at present the possessor. He was third sou
of the late Rev. Sir James Hanham, of Dean's Court,
Wimbome, and was therefore connected with oue of the
oldest county families in Dorsetshire. In Wimborne
and its neighbourhood he was well known, and very
greatly respected. He was in the neighbourhood about
three weeks ago, and intended again to come in a day or
two when the melancholy occurrence took place. About
two months since he played with the Wimborne club,
in a match of cricket against the Poole club at Pamp-
hill. The demised entered the army in 1843, and re-
ceived the appointment of adjutant of the 11th depot
battalion in October, 1856. He took part in the Sutlej
campaign of 1845-6 • was wounded at the battle of
hloodkee, and was also present at the battles of Forme-
shah and Schramm. For these services he had received
• medal and clasps. ' He bore the reputation of being
a brave soldier, fond bf his profession, and Conscientious
in the discharge of the duties of his office. HO has left
a wife and four children to lament his lose. • Mrs.
Hanham. whose DerVoll2 system was much shaken OR
the occasion of the melancholy occurrence, is, we are
happy to hear recovering, but the mother of the de-
ceased, who is very infirm, and who resides at Wim-
borne, is girsally distressed at the untimely death of her

opening of a chdrch, the review of Volentems,

the instance we are about to renird, the opening of•
new pier, are events which have been eagerly seized
upon for the enjoyment ors little recreation and the
casting aside for a short time of the everyday came
mid turmoil of working life. The building of the
nfir pier at Bournemouth was commenced about
two years ago, but the work was retarded greatly
through the violent miles of 1559,, and has just only
been completed. It is a substantial and well-built
structure, well calculated to resist the violent stermi
frequent at this Fart of our coast. .It !sem:net

to the visitors to this fashionable watering-plasm an
excellent promenade, where they may inhale the
delightful sea-breeze, so much calculated to restore
to a gets of •vigorous health those who haus
been suffering from illness. The day selected for the
opening was, as regards Weather, all that could be
desired, and the occasion drew together • large
concourse of people from Poole. Weymouth, and
the immediate neighbourhood. The town was gaily
decorated with Hags and evergreens, and presented
quite • holiday appearance. Triumphal arches were
erected at various points; and the new pier, the
object orchid' attraction, presented quite a phi ay
pesrance, being profusely ornamented with Hags
and evergreens. Two excellent bands, Eyer's from
Blandford, and Herman's from Poole, were engaged
for the occasion, sod contributed in no small degree
to add to the hilarity of the day's proceedings. At
twelve o'clock a procession, consisting of the Ins'
prevenient Commissioners of Bournemouth, poetise
connected with the pier, and the principal inhabi-
tants were formal at the ' Belle Vue Hotel, and,
headed by the 19th Hants Rifle Corp., with their
drum and fife band, and the Bland!. -rd band,
marched first through the principal roads, and on
arraying at the Bath hotel, was joined by the.Lerd
"(the Mapor (Sir George Gervis, Bart.), his lady,
and • fashionable party, and thence proceeded to the
pier, which was formally opened shy. the worthy

a good 'umber, and we are pleased to say that the
manner in which these youthful performers (for they
are nearly all very young) acquit themselves, is really
very creditable ; indeed, when we first beard, with.
out seeing them, we mistook them for one of our

pieces, and of en evesing give quite a life to the

THE EXTRAORDINARY ROIIATICE IN HIGH
LIFE. • '

The " extraordinary remains in high •life" was
again brought before the magistrates at Rugby on
Saturday last. The prisoner Hill, not baying
obtained bail, was brought up in custody, and a
further investigation of the case took place. From
the unportant evidence given by the street ballad-
auger, to whose care the child was committed, end
also another woman, her companion, it would seem
that the report which has already tonna its way into
the papers has not been in the least exaggerated.
The rumour circulated through the town Of Rugby
on Saturday morning that the prisoner would be
further examined thatday, caused much excitement,
and long before the doors of the "se. opened a
dense crowd besieged the vicinity. mis-
sion was granted every available nook O
room was immediately occupied. hi,. Cooke ap:
peered to conduct the prosecution and Mr. Philbeck
to defend the prisoner. Formal evidence having
been received as to the marriage of Mr. and Mrs.
Hill, the birth of the child at urs Globe Inn, near
the railway terminus at Rugby, and..the registration
of the birth by the superuiteident registrar at
