PORTSMOUTH, MAY 23.

A court-martial assembled this morning ou hoard
her Majesty's ship Victory, for the purpose of trying
Stephen Dillon, querternrater of the Edger, on the follow-
ing charges : Ist, fur having, on or about the 31st of De-
cember, received from the paymaster of the Edger
121. lie. lid., or thereabouts, such sums being alleged by
him to he due for mesa savings, he welt knowing that •
sum of 81., or thereabouts, was only due, thereby defraud-
ing her Majesty of the sum of 41. I Is. 7d. ; 21111, for having
on the 15th of April received the sum of
151. fis. 9d., or thereabouts, less 2s, fur mess traps,
suck sum being alleged to be due for mem savings for the
quarter ending the 31st of March, he well knowing that the
run of 9/. 9s. fatly was due, thereby defrauding her Majesty
of the sum of 51. 17s. 9d. The court was composed of
Captains Broadhead (president), Ryder, Harris, Cockburn,
Wilson, Cuote, Dixon, Stewart, rod Osborne, with E.
Hooking, Esq., ea Deputy Judge-Advocate. After bearing
evidence in support of the charges, the prisoner, in defence,
said that he obtained the money on the statement of
I Waite, the steward, that he (Waite) was entitled to it.
He received a rod character. After a loom deliberation,
the court wore of opinion that both charges were partly
proved ; but taking into consideration his previous good
cooduct and long service, they only entered him to be dis-
missed from the Edgar, deprived of all good conduct
badges, and disrated to A.B.
To-morrow Waite will be tried on eleven charges of
fraud. Several other persons will also be tried on similar
charges.
The High/Iyr, 21, screw, Captain W. A. J. Heath, will
erne into harbour this evening to ilimmuitle and pay off.

this port to-day and proceeded to Osborne Howie, to join

DIRTRI BUTION OF THE CAPTURE OF CANTON
PRIZE MONET. Yesterday the military authorities com-
menced payment of the prise money to the land forces

CURIOUS CASE—A motion came before the Right
800. Judge Keetinge, in the Court of Probate, Dublin, on
Wednesday, in a aim in which Colonel Manners is plaintiff,
aud John Connors is defendant, to have the trial fixed to
take place in Dublin before his lordship. The snit was in-
stituted to establish the validity of the will of Johanna
Conuors, deceased, who was a servant in the
colonel's family, by which she bequeathed a sum
of 154 to one of her daughters, cud 5/., the
entire residue of her property, to the Sisters of
Charity. The will is disputed by the defendant, the only
child of the deceased, on the ground of undue influence
and incapacity. The plaintiff was most anxious to meet
the imputation made by the pleas in the must public manner,
and therefore desired that the trial should be had before
the highest tribunal The motion was oppowil on the
ground of unnecessary expense, and the plaintiff offered to
pay the expenses of the defendant's wituesses. His lord-
! ship held that the assets being under 401.. he had no die.
eretion in the matter ; and made an order' directing the
trial to take place before the asaistslit-lerrister for the
Hines County.
