COURT MARTIAL trred A VOLUNTEER OFTICRIL—
Yesterday an inquiry, conducted by order of the Earl of
Sefton, lord-lieutenant of the county, was held at the
Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool, into certain charges preferred by
Major 'Haley, who commands one of the volunteer regiments
in the town, against Captain Maxwell, an offioerin his oorps.
It appeared that upon Major Tinley going out of town he
wrote to Captain Maxwell, requesting him to take com-
mand in his absence, which Captain Maxwell refused to do,
as he had sent in his resignation to the colonel of the batta-
lion to which be belonged, and therefore considered that
until he received a reply be was honourably debarred from
acting. It was this refusal, together with noneom-
pliauce with an order for attending drills, that
formed the subject of inquiry , which the lord-
lieutenant deemed of great importeoce to the
service. Captain Maxwell, with much vigour sad eloquence,
yesterday defended himself before a court, which was ocon-
weed of Lieutenant-Colonel Gamble, Major Mellor, and
Major Brook (Volunteer ()Moen). Captain Maxwell, while
'vindicating his Olin honour and patriotiom as a volunteer
olker, mid that he felt bound, in the peculiar positioo in
which be stood, not to carry out the orders of Major Tialay,
as when he received those orders he was awaiting • reply
Irom Colonel Gladstooe, the chief offieer of the battalion,
imputing his (Captain Maxwell's) intended resignation.
Me submitted that oo military offence had been committed
by him in the present case ; and he felt confident that the
result of the inquiry would not only be personally favour-
able to him, but sash es would promote the good of the
service. The inquiry then closed. The presiding officers
will forward their report to the lord-lieutenant.
TEA ELEVENTH H usBARAL—The Court-martial on
Veterleary-Surgeon Paul Anthony, of the 11th Hasson,
was continued on Thursday hat Dublin. Captain Tempest
deposed—l was president of the mese of the 11th Human
on the 29th of April last. Mr. Anthony did not report to
one what occurred at the mess. He ap,tr-. excited. I
asked him what occurred. and he me what Mr.
Holzman had said to him. I told him be ought to make
Mr. Delacour retract that erroneous statement. I asked
him to leave the matter in my hands. I prevailed upon
him to do so after a few minutes. Before he was placed
under arrest he authorised me to apologias to Mr. Delacour
on his behalf. On reporting the matter to ma, I considered
that Mr. Anthony should apologies to Mr. Delacour
if Mr. Delacour would retract and apologhe for the
words be had used. I suggested this after having inquired
into both sides of the case • this apology wee refused. On
the same evening I apologised to Mr. Saundenon, sating
for Mr. I)elaoour, without any reservation. I told him I
was authorised to make this apologi which was accepted
by Mr. flaunderson. A few days r
afterwards Lieutenant
Anneoley said in my presence, that he reeolleated nothing
of what occurred at the mess, but it was in a chaffing way.
I know Mr. Anthony in the regiment about five years. In
my opinion he has always, tlittLericoLdszsaosd
himself as a gentleman. e the
court was adjourned till Saturday (this day), to give the
prisoner time to prepareeny remarks be might wish to make
on the evidence.
