whops have touched the sentry but he domed
having struck say blow either in the first instance or after-
wards. The soldier stopped him, end presenting his bayonet,
drove him beck, then seined him by the collar, shook him
violently, and knocked him against the rails of an adjoining
area. He (the prisoner) remonstrated with him,
.• What have I done to be treated in this way r but dg not,
strike him.
A young woman named Williams, who was passing at the
time, confirmed this statement, and the prisoner's em-
ployer gave him • good character.
Mr. Henry had adjourned the case for further evidence,
observing that though ooldinrs bad often a notion that it
was an offence to pass between • sentry and his beat, that
would not justify the soldier in losing his temper, and acting
with violence himself.
Thomas Haynes, a hackney-carriage attendant, and Win.
Yorke, • gentleman's set rant, both complete strangers to
the parties, now came forward and confirmed the statement
of defendant.
Mr. Henry rid he was convinced there was no assault
on the soldier. Even if the bag touched him it would not
justify his violence or support this charge, which must be
dismissed.

ward against the current risks and liabilities of the nom-
your directors pointed in previous report to a term of
three years' working, as probably sufficient to enable the
company to come to a decision as Loa division of the profits
realised, but experience has satisfied tbe board that it would
not be prudent to make any such division upon so abort as

average.
