We believe that the Cabinet has finally deter-
mined that Colonel Crawley i 8 to be tried by a
court-martial in England, and that the charges and neces-
sary instructions for the return home of the prisoner and
the witnesses went out by the Bombay mail of last evening,
The trial will, in all likelihood, take place early in October,
and in the vicinity of London. We are sorry to have to
repeat our impression of the unsatisfactory nature of this
step, and our doubt that it will meet the reasonable expecta-
tions of those whose objects are to have the truth ascer-
tained and justice vindicated.—Army and Navy Gazette.
