A master is not bound to give a servant a character ;
and he is not even bound to give his reason for the refusal.
But an employer giving a false character of a servant is
exposed to an action if any is consequences occur from
such conduct.
MURDEROUs ASSAULT AT OVER DARWEN.—OR Sunday
afternoon lest, a man, named John Forrest, was assaulted
with a poker, by a neighbour, named Abraham Beswick,
and rendered insensible. It appears that the two had had
some differences, which drink had fomented on Sunday last,
and about four o'clock in the afternoon, as Forrest was
passing Beswick's door, Beswick ran at him with a poker,
and struck him to the ground. Forrest has not spoken
since, and h;s li'e is despaired of,
rrHE Navy MUTINYMUTINY ACT FOR INDIA.—From Friday next,
the Ist of January, the new act will come into operation
" for puuishing mutiny and desertion of officers and soldiers
in the service of the East India Company, and for regu-
lating in such service the payment of regimental debts, and
the distribution of the effects of officers and soldiers dying
in the service." There are 75 sections in the act, with a
schedule of forms. The object of the statute is to amend
the lilth and 13th Viet., c. 43, and to bring persons who
shall mutiny or stir up sedition " to a more exemplary and
speedy puuishrnent than the usual forms of the law will
allow." After embarkation, all officers and soldiers are to
be subject to the provisions of this act. Courts-martial
may be convened for the trial of offenders, and trans-
portation or penal servitude awarded. For mutiny,
sedition, or for neglect of duty in abandoning a post,
&c., to be punished with death, " or such other punish-
ment es by a court-martial shall be awarded." No
judgment of death by a court_martial is to pass unless
two-thirds at least of the officers present concur therein.
Judgment of death may be commuted for transportation,
or other punishment. Embezzlement is to bo punished
by transportation or penal servitude. Corporal punishment
may be inflicted, and for certain off:nes enumerated, both
pay and pension to be forfeited, Soldiers entitled to be
discharged front the service may ela'ro to be sent home free
of expense. There are various provisions as to " regi-
mental debts," which are to have priority of payment and
the surplus to be administered. The effects of officers and
soldiers dying in the service are to be collected and admi-
nistered. In a few days the act will take effect in India;
and those who have to administer the new law will have
enough to do in carrying out its provisions. The act
received the Royal Assent in August.
PRESENTS TO AN INDIAN ClllEF.—Whilst every mail from
Inoia brings accounts of acts of treachery on the part of
native princes in India, it is gratifying to know that in
some cases the conduct of the native chieftains has been
such as to merit the warmest feelings of respect and
gratitude on the part of Europeans. One of the parsons
who rendered valuable assistance during the earlier part of
the outbreak in the Oude district was Sirdar Soorat Sing,
and we have great pleasure in stating that a present of a
very suitable character is about to be sent to him, Mr.
%Vestley Richards having for that purpose just conareted a
double barrelled rifle, a double barrelled gu©, and a pair of
double barrelled holster pistols. On the silver plate which
colors the grease box of the rifle is the following
inscription :—" Presented to Sirdar Soarat Sing by some
English gentlemen of Benares, Jounpoor, and Oude, in
token of their admiration of his loyalty and gall -int conduct
during the Rebellion of 1857." The arms are of the most
costly description, and are mounted in silver, very richly
and tastefu'ly ornamented by chasing, which covers every
portion, not only of the silver mountings, but also of the
locks and triegers, Part of the mounting of the rifle is in
gold. It must not be supposed, however, that the weapons
are merely for show ; they are on the contrary fitted for
the very hardest work, and probably a finer set of arms,
nor one more capable of showing what Birmingham can
produce, never left the workshop of any gun maker. We
cannot imagine any present more gratifying or more
appropriate under the circumstance of both giver and
receiver, but we sincerely hope that Soorat Sing may ne`Yer
again be called upon to use his rifle in protecting the lives
I of Englishmen from the fury of blood thirsty rebels.—
