Captain HAX3IIO said : Officers, non.oomusissioned
officers, and trooper., —As you are aware, official duties
connected with the Government ef this country have pre.
vented your Colonel from coming down this year to take
command of the regiment. In kis absence that duty has
devolved noon me, and in hie name, the name of the
officers of the regiment, and my own name, I most thank
you for the admirshle manner in which you have per-
formed your duty during the whole of the annual training.
I do not wish to detain you long; but there are two or
three things to which I must call your attention. I must
beg every one of you to have the interests of the regiment
at heart, to enlist every good man you can in it, to attend
every drill that you can, and answer every summons of
your officer', to take great care of your clothing, and if
you find any articles are deficient, or likely to be, don't
Wave the matter to the last moment, but Inform your
permanent sergeants, so that the things may be ready for
you by the time you come down. As you will see, Lieut.-
Colonel Buncombe yesterday gave a very favourable
report of the military movement., and also of your
appearance, and that report will be sent up to Lord
Richard Grosvenor, in addition to one by myself,
Utilise him how admirably you have behaved, and what
attention you have paid to your duties and to your officers.
Let me beg of you, when you leave you, to forget all those
little rubs and sores which have occurred to your bodies
and minds. (Beer, hear, and a voice "Mind, and
bodies." Such things cannot help occurring but when
the regiment break, up, they should be forgotten. In
your names I shall thank the Mayor and Corporation of
!Weymouth for the sport", which they have so liberally
provided. (Applause) Let me wish you a happy return
to your fainilies, a prosperous year, and may we meet

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST MR.
SUPERINTENDENT. RATTY.
-
LP/ILY rsoanDisas.

At the Petty &widow' on Friday the magietrates
(Mr. C. J. Parke, Rev. Oar-Glen, and Mr. W. Rollos-
Fryer), were occupied for nearly five hours in hearing
a couple of summonses for assault, in one of which Mr.
Superintendent Batty was the complainant and the
other the defendant; and Mr. Motels, a spirit and
cigar agent, of Weymouth, vice versa.
Mr. G. Symonds, of Doechseter, appeared for Mr
Batty, and Mr. Joliffe, of Crewkerne, fee the
defendant.

As will be seen from the subjoined report, consider.
able anstulement was afforded by the sparring of the
legal gentlemen.
Ths proceedings commenced with a skirmish on the
part of the legal gentlemen as to which case of assault
should be taken first.—Mr. Symonds had hardly com-
menced with the remark that he appeared on the part
of the complainant, Mr. Batty, when Mr. Joliffe at
once jumped up and said he also represented a com-
plainant, and he claimed that his client's summons
should first be heard. Mr. Batty had allowed the
matter to rest from the 4th of April until the 25th,
and then when his (Mr. Jolliffe's) client came to Wim-
borne to lay an inf.)rmation against him, he obtained
knowledge of the fact by means of his subordinates,
and took out a cross-summons. If, said Mr. Jolliffe,
with grog emphasis, my client, whole a fzi:rieerratioand
therefore ought to be treated with every
is to beve his case shelved and set ad& by tfte words
of a superintaddent of Police, in his own Court, then
all I can say Is there is no straightforward dealing id
England.
The Chairman : Is that all yea hays to offs: us, Mr.
Jaffe?

" IMr. :Jolla. : I am stating facts.
The Chairman: And are you going to prove them?
Mr. Symonds: I shall be perfectly able to answer
them, sir.
4olile continued be did not know whether or
not the walla magistrate who wood the summons wai
present—he ( Mr. 4olifte) was • stranger in those parte
—but he would state his client had been in communica-
tion with the French Consul, and it we under his
advice he made his application for • summons. Mr.
Batty, however, forestalled him, and Mr. Batty
himself told him he bad done so acting upon the Infor-
mation he had received froni his own men. Hs
