SECOND COURT- MARTIAL, AT CHATHAM, DEC.
2.l.—lrothedia.tely after the Court had assembled this
morning, Lieutenant Grant commenced reading his de-
fence. He did not mean, he said, in his general plea of
not guilty, to deny the facts ; but he submitted that he
had not acted contrary to military discipline, and quoted
the case of Lieutenant-Colonel Hogg, of the 55th regi-
ment of Foot, in 1819, at Plymouth, as a case in point.
He dwelt much upon the testimony of Lieutenant Chads,
to show that at the time Captain Bull was the actua
officer in command. He assured the Court he had been
influenced in what he had done by feelings of a desire to
do good ; and he trusted the Court would not fix him
him with wilful disobedience of lawful orders. He then
called upon the Deputy Judge Advocate, the Hon. Capt.
1 Gordon, to produce the correspondence with the Acting
Town-Major
e Jackson w a
so:atts echreCalaleped by the Court ;after which,tospeak to what;Assistant-Sur-
geon
transpired on the poop of the Mary Anne on the morn-
ing of the 10th of July, relative to the prisoner's hesitat-
ing to obey Major Shadforth% orders. This witness's
testimony finished the proceeding, and the Court broke
C up. The sentence, of course, cannot be known until cone
firmed by her Majesty.

Petitions are being numerously signed in Lincoln,
