Baldwin Leighton, and the other magistrates who were
I present yesterday, again occupying seats on the bench.

prosecution, and Mr. Gifford, Q.C., and Mr. Poland, for
the defence, were also present.
Before the proceedings commenced the Chairman strongly
condemned any expression of opinion on the part of those
present in the room. If they could not restrain their
feelings it was hardly to be expected that the inople who
were outside would behave more decorously.

reading of such portion of the proceedings before the
Jamaica Commission as he had reported was read and
concluded. _ _ _ .

During the captain's absence on leave he had absented him-
self from the garrison without permission. together with /6

quent was arrested at Brentford, in Middlesex, and taken
beck to Woolwich by a sergeant of the T division of police,
to whom, on being accosted, he had acknowleged having
exceeded his leave. He was still wearing the captain's

carriages having posed over his t • ha. He was taken to
