MEMORANDUM.—AIthough the balance upon this account
appears to be as above, yet there is in the Three per Cent.
Consols 67,8841. 13s. 2d. stock invested on account of army
prize money. The existence of this amount of stock in the
Three per Cent. Consols, notwithstanding th i balance is on
the debit side, arises from the investments in the stock
having been made when the Funds were very low, and from
the sales thereout, as occasion required, having been from
time to time effected when the prices were considerably
higher. A. J. MOOREISAD, Secretary and Registrar.

SECOND COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT.
PERRY.

ELEVENTH DAY.-WEDNESDAY.

The general court-martial appointed to try James
Edward Perry, of the 46th Regiment, reassembled in
the officers' mess-room, at the Infantry Barracks, Wind-
sor. Major-General Wetherall appeared as prosecutor,
Brigade-Major Dalgetty officiated as Deputy-Judge-
Advocate, and the prisoner was attended by Mr. Darvill
as his legal adviser. The court was again densely
crowded.

The court having been formally opened, the cross-
examination of Captain Colin Frederick Campbell was
about to he resumed, when the following discussion took
place :

Prisoner—May I request that the last question and
answer be read ?

The Deputy-Judge-Advocate—The witness was under
cross examination by yourself, the prosecutor baying
done with him, and your question was—" Where are the
letters alluded to ? Answer--I believe they are in the
possession of the present adjutant."
Prisoner—May I request that they be produced ?
The Deputy-Judge-Advocate—You must go on with
your cross-examination. The letters are not yet before
the court in any tangible shape.
Prisoner—Might I ask the prosecutor to produce the
letters, they being necessary for my defence ?
Major-General Wetherall—lf there was any possible
manner in which I could produce the letters, I would
do so with pleasure, but I know nothing of the letters.
The Deputy-Judge-Advocate—You may call Colonel
Garrett, or the Adjutant, or any one else, when the
cross-examination of this witness is concluded. But
when his examination is concluded he cannot be re-
called.

Thb prisoner then read the following protest :—" I
most respectfully protest against not being allowed fully
to cross-examine the witnesses. The difficulty I am
thereby placed in is this, that I am not enabled to im-
peach the testimony of a witness out of his own mouth,
but am told I may call witnesses in my defence to do so,
which I respectfully submit is opposed to the principles
and law of evidence, and places me in a most painful and
difficult position, because, in examination in chief, I
could not be allowed to put the same searching questions
as I am justified and entitled to do in cross-examina-
tion."

Major-General Wetherall—lf the Court thinks it re-
gular, I will call for the letters.
The Court, under the advice of the Deputy Judge-
Advocate, agreed to receive the letters if called for by
the prosecutor.

Adjutant M'Alister was then called, and produced the
Letters.

The court was then cleared. On the readmission of
the public,
The Deputy Judge-Advocate read the following let-
;ers :
