The Court Martial on Colonel Crawley,

THIS DAY.

The preliroinary proceedings having been gone through,
James Hyde Champion gave a description of the room in
which Sergeant-Major Lilley died, but, on the request of
Colonel Crawley, the cross•examination of this witness was
postponed until to-morrow:
Lieutenant and Adjutant Thomas Joseph Fitzsimon, of
the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, deposed that he was adju-
tant at Mhow in 1862. On the 26th April Colonel Crawley
sent to him, and said that Sergeant-Majors Lilley,
Wakefield, and Duval were in a conspiracy against
him, and he ordered them to be arrested, and that was
done. Witness went and inspected the sentries, but did
not post them himself. They were posted under the veran-
dah. He subsequently had some conversution with Col.
Crawley as to where the sentries were to be placed. The
colonel asked him if he knew what close arrest meant ? and
witness said no. Col. Crawley said it meant that the
sentry was not to lose sight of his prisoner night nor day
Acting Regimental Sergeant-Major Cotton reminded Col:
Crawley that Lilloy was a married man, but ho said that,
"officer or soldier, married or single, he did not care.'
Witness thought Colonel Crawley said d—, but would not
be sure about it.
Private Cuthbert Blake, 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, said
that he was corporal of the guard over the late sergeant-
major, and was tried by court-martial for neglect of duty
in not posting the sentries according to the regimental
orders inside the bungalow,
The proceedings of the court martial were put in and
read, the last witness, as prisoner, having been found guilty
of breach of orders, and sentenced to 42 days' imprison-
ment. This finding and sentence Colonel Crawley approved,
but considering the good character proved, remitted the
Punishment, but ordered him to rejoin his troop as a pri-
vate, he having been lance-corporal,
Edward Mills, sergeant, 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, had
mounted guard on Sergeant-Major Lilley on the Ist of
May, 1862. He found one night that the sentry was out-
side, and reported to corporal (last witness) for it. The
corporal did not give any reason for posting the sentry out-
side. Sergeant-Major Lilley was allowed an hour a day
for exercise, He drank very heavy, and could carryagreat

had often seen him drunk, but never while on duty.but
