THE ANGLESEY MILITIA.

The Anglesey Militia, which was temporarily re-
dated to 34, is gradually recruiting its numbers, several of
the men having been re-attested. The present strength of
the oorps is about 100.
In a meat issue of the Doily. News, a paragraph appeared
describing the state of this regiment, consequent upon the
decision of the War Office for the discharge of the men of
1852. It was then Meted that this officers had been set upon
by the discharged men, and had bad to draw their swords to
enforce obedience, or to prevent violence; that several riots
originating in drunkenness occurred, one of which nearly
terminated fatally to a militiaman, who received a severe
wound in the head ; that, amongst those who temained,
symptoms of insubordination had been manifested, and that
no picket could be mustered to patrel the streets. A com-
munication from Lieutenant-Colonel T. P. Williams, the
commanding officer, has subsequently appeared in a morning
isontensporary, giving to the whole of these statements posi-
tive sad unqualified contradiction. Under these einem-
guess, farther and personal inquiries have been made on
the epot, and the result has proved that the particulars
given in this paper were cowed.
The following official report, presented by the borough
pollee officer of Beaumaris to the Watch committee may
midst the public in judging between opposite assertioss :
" , March 30.—About 6 p.m., the town being put
ist•=ossfusion by the militiamen being drunk and
figistbeg to WI directions of it, I ailed, with Mr. T. A.
Dew, ups the sergeant-major, to know if he intended to
mend outs piglet to look after the men who were setting the
town is an uproar. He said that he weld not ; that the
tradespeople and authorities of the town had set the mes
against them ; that they could eserciao no discipline on them ;
that he we. in danger himself, and going to lock up his
house. He afterwards said that it was the officer of the
day, Mr. Roberts, that was to order pickets out, who was not
in town. I again called with Capt. Jones, who asked me to
tell the sergeantinajor to egad a picket out, and to send a
man op to Elesilly's, to acquaint Captain Hampton of the
state of the town. He said he would send to Nulty's, but
would not send out a picket, for he could not get them, and
that the town might thank themselves for it. And no
picket being seat out, I got seven constables out for the
ataht."
In addition to the disorders here detailed, the following
incidence may also serve to show the grounds upon which
the inhabitance have petitioned the authorities for the re-
moval of the militia from Beaumeris. Os Easter Tuesday
two militiamen were drinking aP the Marquis Tavern.
Some words arose between one of them and a person pre.
sent. The militiaman pulled out a pistol, and presented it
at his antagonist. The landlady, frightened, begged him
to be quiet, on which he turned round and actually fired
the pistol at the woman. Some of the shot, passel through
bee sap sad kasehad it off her bead. The woman has
=sji been in assessate, but deeliew. Later, a milltiam n,
he his pay after being discharged, was at the
Irbil!, pay. CM being refused more drink, he snatched
a knife oft the table, and attempted to stab the female ser-
vant. Again, on Sunday (April 22), • militiaman pulled

it men the head and face, threatened to rya him through,
