Sergeant Wm. Barber, of the 6th Dragoons, said Ser-
geant Major Lilley was greatly respected in the regiment.
He had attended the sergeant major while out on ezercise,
and walked behind him between 15 and 20 yards. He never
saw him the worse for liquor.

By Colonel Crawley—He was sergeant of the guard over
Sergeant Major Lilley on the Ist of May, and gave over his
orders to Sergeant Major Mills. These orders were that
the sentry was not to enter the bedroom. He visited the
sentries three times that
,night. They were posted in the
small room, No. 4, of the first bungalow. He aid not see
Mrs. Lilley at all that night. Neither the sergeant major
nor Mrs. Lilley ever made any complaint to him.
Private Isaac Brooks said he had been 12 years and font
months in the 6th Dragoons. Sergeant Major Lilley was
greatly respected in the regiment. He was sentry in the
second bungalow, within the inner verandah. When the
chick was down he could not see the room from where he
stood. It was aboAt eight or nine days before the sergeant
major's death that he was sentry. His orders were to keep
his post until relieved by the non-commissioned officer of
the guard, not to lose sight of the prisoner on any account,
to allow no one into the bungalow except the medical officer
and the native servant, to search the latter going in and
coming out to see that he had no written documents, and if
AO to take them away from him and to give them to the
non-commissioned officer of the guard.
By Col. Crawley—He remembered the chick being lifted
up on one occasion because it was a very warm day. Ser..
geant Major Lilley lifted it up. About three minutes after-
wards the sergeant major went out into the verandah to
take exercise. Ho followed him into the verandah. When
he returned the chick was again closed.
George Sheppard, lance corporal, said Sregeant Major
Lilley was greatly respected in the regiment.
By Colonel Crawley—He was corporal of the guard while
Sergeant Major Lilley was under arrest, and posted the
sentries in the verandah of the first bungalow, facing the
road. On the next occasion they were posted in the little
room, No. 4, in the first bungalow. He remembered that
on the second occasion of his visit the sentry was changed
from No. 4 room to No. 2, the sergeant major's office. in
har opinion the position in which the sentry was placed in
No. 2 room was not calculated to cause annoyance or incon-
venience to Mrs. Lilley in her bedroom.
James Burrows, corporal of the 6th Dragoons, called. No
examination in chief.
By Col. Crawley—He was on and over Sergeant Major
Lilley in the second bungalow. He did not see Mrs. Lilley
