SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—LAST EVENING.
Although the greater portion of the Liverpool accounts
were settled at Shrewsbury, and a considerable amount of
the business done at the latter meeting was squared on each
succeeding day—except the Friday's transactions—still a
good deal of money had to change hands. There was a
numerous attendance for the period of the year, and the
usual routine work of paying and receiving was carried on
until a latish hour. At intervals some attempts were made
at speculation, but the ball could not be set rolling, and
except the few transactions below, and those not to heavy
amounts, nothing was done on future events, Closing prices :

THE CRAWLEY COURT MARTIAL,

SIXTH DAY.
[The following appeared in the Third Edition of "Thq
Sun" of last evening] :

ALDERSHOT, Monday.

The inquiry was resumed this morning.
Troop Sergeant Major Robert Cotton, examined by Col.
Sir A. Horsford fcr the prosecution.—l have been 10 years
in the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons. I knew Sergeant Major
Lilley from the day I first joined the regiment till the
day of his death. In my opinion he was a hard-
working, industrious, and sober man. No orders were given
to me to place him in arrest. I did not place him in arrest.
I believe he was placed in arrest by Lieut. and Adjutant
Fitzsimmons.
Q.—Do you know what the orders for his arrest were?
Col. Crawley objected to theircontents being stated if they
were in writing, unless they were produced. The Court
allowed the objection.
Examination continued—l am not aware whether the
orders were in writing or not. Lieut. Fitzsimons gave me
orders about the arrest on the day it took place.
Colonel Crawley submitted that the witness should be
asked whether the orders were in writing, and objected to
eVidence being given of the contents of documents that
were in existence.

death.

The cross-examination of the witness was postponed.
Major John Edward Swinley, of the 6th Dragoons, said
that while the sergeant majors were under arrest in the
orderly room Col. Crawley complained that a communica-
tion had been held with the prisoners, and asked Lieut. Fitz-
simons whether he kn ew,what was meant by close:arrest. The
lieutenant said he did, and that it meant placing sentries
over the prisoners. Col. Crawley remarked that it meant 130
such thing, and that it meant that the prisoner should he
watched night and day. On that occasion Sergeant Major
Cotton informed the colonel that Mr. Lilley was a married
man, and liniment had to be rubbed on his wife's chest, 11102

words : " Colonel Crawley said, " I do not care a d--
married or single, offieer or soldier. I will have my orders
carried out."
Captain Archibald Weir, called and examined, said he
remembered that in 1862 he was in the orderly room when
Mr. Fitzsimons came in. The colonel was talking in a loud
voice with Mr. Fitzsimons. The colonel said, "Mr. Fitz-
simons, do you know what close arrest means?" Mr. Fitz-
Simons said, " I think I do, sir.'' Colonel Crawley asked
him what it was, and then told him that it meant
that the sentry was not to lose sight of him day or night,
Sergeant Cotton said that Lilley was a married man. The
colonel told Cotton to hold his tongue, and not to contra-
dict the orders he had given, or those of the General, but
to go and see those orders carried out. Sergeant Cotton
told the colonel that Mrs. Lilley had liniment or oint-
ment to be rubbed on her stomach. The colonel then re-
plied, "I don't care a d--, Mr. Fitzsimons; I can't help
that. Officer or soldier, I will have my orders carried out."
This conversation must have taken place early in May.
After some further evidence, the proceedings were again,
adjourned.
