Thu following circular memorandum relating to

Sir J. Yorke ticarlett :—"With reference to article 65 a
the regulations for purveyors, dated Ist January, 1861, by
which medical officers are permitted to draw upon the pur-
veyors for medical comforts, when deemed absolutely neces-
sary, for the wives and children of soldiers married with
leave under a certificate from the officer commanding, the
Secretary of State for War has, at the instigation of his
Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief, been
pleseed so far to relax the order for obtaining the command-
ing officer's certificate before issue, as in cases of great
urgency, where delay would be injurious to the patient, to
permit the issue to be made on the certificate of the medical
officer that the Lase requires immediate attention, and with
the understanding that the requisition will be heeled by the
commanding officer as soon after as possible. His royal
highness therefore requests that commanding officers will be
most particular in their inquiries as to the necessity of the
issue before their signature is obtained. as any thole of this
boon to the soldier's family will inevitably deprive them of
ita continuance." _

were left alone in the house, but about 2 o'clock a relative
of Mr. Gibsou's, named Kidd, called, cud found them in
the yard, the lad having the gun in his hands. The de-
ceased asked Kidd to make the lad put the gun away, and
Kidd orderedlhim to do so, but was answered only by a laugh.
The lad then pointed the weapon at him and pulled
