Sir William Jolliffe, on Friday, will ask the First
Commissioner of Works if it is the intention of the go-
vernment to refer the Commons Metropolis Bill to the
e msideration of a select committee.
A few days since, as some recruits were being
exercised at firing at a mark near Liestal (canton of Bale-
Campagne, Switierlan4), a shot unfortunately took place
I at the very moment when Captain Wetzel, who was near
the butt, came forward to make a signal, and the ball
struck him in the foreheal, killing him en the spot. This
sad event has caused great pain in the district, as the
deceased ofßeer was universally esteemed.
