emietsues of Father Gavasai, who walked by his aide read-
W a chapter from the Bibb, to which he audibly and fa-
intly responded from the cell to the scaffold. Here he
took his final leave of the Sheriffs and the officials, the chapel re

THE INNISKILLINGS AT CANTERBURY.

—e-- it.
CANTERBURY, SUNDAY Eviaueo. It.
The moat " practical joking " in the InniskiWnp,
and the subsequent confiaement of Sergeant Brodie for
eight days, for preventing a hostile meeting between two to
of the officers, Cornets Evans and Baumgarten, ocsatiaue to I
excite a good deal of public interest throughout the city, and
which has not been a little increased by the result of the et.
iavestigation (so far as it is known), and the treatment of gi
the sergeant. et
Oa Saturday mining the Deputy Adjutant-General di.
Foster arrived here, and opened an inquiry into the Giresun- fit,
stances of the affair, in the orderly-room of the cavalry bar- is
racks. Application was suede by the resident reporter of It
die press to be allowed to be present during the inquiry, bi
bet his application war refused, the Deputy Adjutant- r
General sending word out that there was no answer to the I
application.
As far as can be ascertained, the following are the
cutlass of the proceedings:—The oflicen having been
examined, shortly after 4 o'clock, Sergeant Brodie was
taken from his room, and brought into the orderly.
rent by Regimental Strgt-Majer Gibbins and Sergi-Major
Musky. The sergeant gave similar evidence to that which
be deposed to at the Guildhall on Monday bet, and which
was briefly to the effect that, having his suspicious aroused
that a duel was about to take place by the adjutant's m-
eant applying for a pair of pistols, he proceeded to the spot
in the morning and succeeded in preventing its execution
by giving one of the combatants into the charge of setae
farm labourers, and while doing so refused to return to
barracks, as ordered by Adjutant Webster of the depot, and
which refusal induced that officer to obtain a file of the
guard and give Sergeant Brodie into arrest, the adjutant at
the same time telling his men "to knock the sergeant down
with the butt-end of their carbines" if he misted them. At
the conelnaion of his evidence, the sergeant inquired if he
was still to consider himself a prisoner. The Deputy-Ad-
jutant-General did not reply ; bat the colonel of the
depot ordered the, removal of the sergeant to his
room. Shortly afterwards Sergeant Brodie was "ISIS
b:ougbt tato the orderly-room; (the Deputy Adjutant-Gemmel
having left in the interim), and the acting colonel told the
rergernt he had released him on lie own responsibility, and
at the same time intimated that he did not think the ser-
geant could hold hie office of saddler to the regimens much
I.nger. The tudosel also remarked that there was not
another nonairmitimloned officer in the @erica that would
have acted as Broils had dear, and made of disparaging
obsematioas ea the 111011111•111 a the serge int. Sergeant
Brodie was tbee discharged from arrest.
