enter the residency and close in upon them again. It is
generally understood chat Nana Sahib has assumed the
command in chief in Code, and some profess to see traces
of ability and plan in the more recem movements of the
rebels. It is certain, too, that they fight harder than they
did.

Campbell for the other prisoner, and cross-examined all
