MILITARY .1110 TS AT LIVERPOOL.
ADJOURNED INQUIRY.
The inquiry arising out of the alleged attack of the
soldiery of the 91st Regiment upon the police was re-
sumed yesterday (Wednesday), before a special court
held for the purpose. The presiding magistrates were
Messrs. Crossthwaite, Harvey, J. H. Turner, D. Hodg-
son, and Horsfall.
The case of lileFenders being called on,
Mr. Snowball, attorney, said he had been instructed to
defend the soldiers. He had net had time to commit to
writing the statements of the witnesses for the defence,
of whom there were 26, but he believed their evidence
would put an entirely different complexion on the matter;
and ho therefore prayed that the bench would adjourn
the case until the following day.
Crossthwaite did not offer any objection to the
adjournment, but on the following day he should not be
able to attend.
Mr. Snowball then said, he had an application to
make that the prisoners should be admitted to bail. The
officer commanding the regiment was willing to become
their security, and the men would, under his charge,
be perfectly Eafe, and producible when required.
idajor Gordon—l will be responsible for the appear-
ance of every one of th 3 24 men. I am aware that
there are among them great blackguards. but I feel
assured that when they are put upon their honour u
soldiers they will keep flea. bail. The object is, not
that the men shall be at large, but when coming out of
these dreadful cells they appear in a state derogatory to
the profession of British arms, and not as Queen's sol-
diers ought to do.
Mr. Crossthwaite said, as there had already been
some difficulty with respect to the production of one of
the men of th© regiment (Truster), the magistrates
would adjourn before they gave their opinion on the
point.
On the return of the magistrates,
Mr. Crossthwaite said ls difficulty of accepting bail,
the case bring an unusual one, had caused the magis-
trates to hesitate, and more particularly as Truster,
although a pleige had been given that he should be
produced, had not been forthcoming, neither had a me-
dical certificate been given of the danger of removing
him. The honour of Major Gordon the bench did not
doubt; but they would rrquire a certificate from day to
day that he (Trusltr) was in an unfit state to be re-
, moved, or otherwise tout he should be given up. upon
this being complied with the prisoners would be admitted
to bail.
Major Gordon then said that on the pert of
Colonel
Campbell he had to express thanks for the courtesy
and kindness evinced by the bench.
Mr. Crossthwaite said the great desire of the i
bench
had been that the Case should be fully and fairly n-
vestigated, so that it might not be said that the magic.
trates had acted with partiality towards the officers of
the police force.

the bench that the stipula-
Trmler should be complied with. He
begged CO state that the military authorities had had no.,
whatcvor to do with creating the difficulty to his
itiVeroduction; it had been a misunderstanding on the
part of the military surgeon, who, in his anxiety for his
patient, had, iu ignorance of the exact forms required,
neglected to forward the requisite certificate. This
should be done, or the man produced.
The Rev. Mr. Connor (accompanied by a gentleman
connected with the regiment) immediately afterwards
applied for a warrant spinet the policeman he had
pointed out in the other court.
Mr. Dowling (to the Bench)—There is no necessity
for a warrant. ale man shall be forthcoming when re-
quired. I know the object—it is to get the man incar-
cerated. .(
The Rev. Mr. Connor—That is not my object.
Mr. Crossthwaite—Where is the man? If he is pre-
sent we NI ill take the thing in the regular way.
Mr. Dowling said the officer was present.
Mr. Wybergh said there was an obstacle to that case
being then taken, inasmuch as it would open up the evi-
dence in all the other ones.
An obervation was hero made by the military gen.
tlerean accompanying the Rev. Mr. Connor, which had
reference to Mr. Superintendent Towerson.
Mr. Tower on sum that the person against whom they
were applying for a warrant was not present at all.
Some asperity of feeling was here arising, which was
checked by Llr. Xl3 berth, and the hearing of the cases
was further adjourned until Friday next.

The Elr! of Triount EJgeounabe, at the rent and
held at Coalele, last week, made a reduction of 20 per cen .
to the tenantry.
