POLICE-THIS DAY.

MANSION-HOUSE.

THE CITY OF LONDON RIFLE BRIGADE.—This morn-
ing a number of summonses taken out against several mem-
bers of the rifle brigade for arrears of subscription wer
heard before Alderman Humphrey, who sat for the Lord
Mayor, amongst which was one against a gentleman named
Vanderoyd, who was summoned for nonpayment of sub-
scription.

SPORTING---THIS DAY.

The adjutant of the regiment (Captain Ewins) said Mr..
Vanderoyd entered in November, 1859, when he paid him
I subscription, but since that time he had fallen into arrears.
Mr. Vanderoyd—l deny any arrears. I never was sworn
into the regiment at all. I entered, it is true, but within
four days I sent in my resignation.
Captain Ewins—We don't acknowledge that resignation.
Mr. Vanderoyd—Your worship, I called repeatedly at
the head quarters relative to the question of my resigna-
tion, but never with any success.
Alderman Humphrey—l am afraid there is some insub-
ordination in the corps. This irritation, if continued, will
most likely break up the regiment.
Captain Ewins—We are only trying to get rid of then
members who are not doing us any good.
Alderman Humphrey—But Mr. Vanderoyd says he
never joined the regiment.

Captain Ewins—Your worship, be did join it, and there
(handing in a printed document) is the acknowledgment of
a payment of the first year's subscription, and also the
entrance fee, amounting to two guineas,
Mr. Vanderoyd—The fact is, a friend of mine wished to
introduce a certain number of member s to the corps to ob-
tain a command, and on the 15th of November, 1859, I paid
a year's subscription, but in four days after I sent in my
resignation. _

Alderman Humphrey--I think these cases ought to be
settled out of cc urt.

Mr. Vanderoyd—l called more than a dozen times to effect
some arrangement, but without success.
Alderman Humphrey—Captain Ewins, it is calculated to
destroy the regiment if these questions are permitted to go
on. I don't think you ought to do so. I confess I should
be very sorry to see the brigade broken up.
Captain Ewins—l am not doing so.
Alderman Humphrey—Very well ; then some one is who
ought to know better.
Captain Ewins—We don't question Mr. Vanderoyd's
word respecting his resignation. In the present instance I
am only acting under the orders of my superior officer.
Mr. Vanderoyd—l never was sworn into the regiment.
Captain Ewins—You have been considered an effective
member of the corps.
Mr. Vanderoyd— I never was sworn in.

Alderman Humphrey to Captain E wins—He don't be-
long to you. You cannot make a man belong to your corps
who never was sworn in. I think the most amicable way
to settle the present question is for the regiment to receive
10s. as the costs of the summons, and then strike Mr. Van-
deroyd's name off the roll.

Captain Ewins—Will you, sir, adjourn the case until
our solicitor is in attendance?

Alderman Humphery—Yes, but I think Mr. Vanderoyd
had better adopt my suggestion.

Mr. V.nderoyd—l have done so, but the money has been
refused.

Alderman Bumphery—Then keep it in your pocket, I
don't see how you can be considered a member under the
circumstances that have transpired.

Captain Ewins—Then this and the other cases are ad-
journed.

Alderman Humphrey—Yes, until this day month. It
will be much better if some arrangement is come ;to. It
appears there is some insubordination in the regiment,
which I am very sorry to see.
The parties then left the court.
