ELEVENTH DAY.

ALDERSHOT, Monday.
The inquiry was resumed this morning by the cross-
examination of Dr. G. A. Turnbull by Colonel Crawley.
Q. When did you make tho entry in the hospital case,
book in which the erasure appears ?
A. I made it on the sth of June, 1862.
Q. How came it that on the sth of June you dated the
entry for the 21st of May,?
A, I entered the history of his case, including the days
he had been detained in the hospital, I made the entry
from memorandums I had .in my possession. Ido not
know where those memorandums are.
A long conversation teen took place as to Sergeant
Major Wakefield's admission to the hospital, the general
answer being that he wraTese:

was no entry of Wakefield's' admission on the 25th of May.
Colonel Crawley called my attention to the statement that
Sergeant Major Wakefield had been sent to hospital on the
25th of May a raving maniac. Colonel Crawley complained
that Wakefield's being in hospital on the 25th of May had
not been notified to him. To the best of my recollection
did not tell Colonel Crawley that I knew Sergeant Major
Wakefield had never been in hospital 4t that time, nor that
I could have told him if he had asked me at the time.
I have answered some queries of Colonel Crawley about

The questions and answers were then read at length
and examination continued—

I did not send in the answers, as Col. Crawley requested,
because he had my medical register,which I wanted to refer to.
Colonel erawley sent me information that my medical re.
gisters had been sent to Major General Farrell. I cannot
say whether I took away the paper of questions to answer
on the evening that the intelligence arrived that Colonel
Crawley was to be tried by a court martial. Ido not know
that Sergeant Major Lilley within an hour of his death
drank nearly a tumblerfull of brandy. Considering his
state at that time, if he did so, it would have bad an injuri-
ous effeot, but I cannot say whether it would have had a,
fatal result, I last saw Mr. Smales a week ago in London.
I received a communication from him last week, but I do
not recollect the date. Ido not think it was after my exa.
urination in this court. Ido not remember.
Ite-examined by Colonel Sir A. Horsford—Colonel
Crawley seemed annoyed, and replied in a harsh tone of
voice, when I made application for the additional indul.
gence I asked for the three sergeant majors.
Colonel Charles Cameron Shute, 4th Dragoon Guards'
deposed that he knew the late Sergeant Major Lilley from
.the time of his joining the regiment till two or three years
ago, when he Colonel Shute) left, and considered him a
thoroughly well-disposed good man.
A lengthened adjournment for consultation resulted in
Colonel Crawley being allowed to ask Colonel Shute whe-
ther he received a letter from the Commander in Chief, on
or about the 30th of June, 1860, conveying a censure cn
the state of the 6th Dragoons, which regiment Colonel
Shute then commanded, and also of the state of the
officers.
Colonel Horsford objected unless the prisoners produced
the letter en his evidence.
Colonel Crawley said the letter was the possession of the
Horse Guards, and therefore he could not produce it, but
if the prosecution could produce it, he would adopt it as
part of his case.
Colonel Sir A. Horsford stated that he had no such letter,
and the prisoner, if the court thought the
question re-
levant, could apply to the adjutant general tor the letter,
and Colonel Shute could attend again, and give evidence

SHEFFIELD, 28th.—Trade here continues active in meat
branches. The stove grate manufacturers are not quite
fully employed. The crinoline trade is rather dull. The
close of the Russian season has somewhat checked the
previous activity in the saw and file trades, most firms in
which, however, are still able to find their workmen full
employment. In nearly all other branches there is a con-
