tees of the colonial bishoprics fund, was resumed this

The Master of the R.311s deferred his judgment.

COURT 011 COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, beforo Mr. Justice Willos and a
Special Jury.)
DAWKINS V. LORD ROKEDY.
- - -

In this case the plaintiff is a lieutenant-colonel in the
Coldstream Guards, and the defendant, Lord Henry
Rokeby, is a colonel in the second battalion. There were
several counts in the declaration charging the defendant
with unjust treatment of the plaintiff, breach of duty in
not bringing him liefore a court-martial, and by false re-
pr,?sentations, in coacert with otk'rs, inducing the
Duke of Cambridge to compel him to retire upon half-pay,
on the ground that his continuance in the battalion would
be injurious to the service. The defendant pleaded the
Mutiny Act, but placed no other plea on the record.
Mr. Hawkins, Q. 0.,
and Mr. Coleridge, Q. 0., appeared
for the plaintiff ; and thol Solicitor-General, Mr. Bovil,
Q.C., Mr. Gifford, Q. 0., and Mr. Doweswell for the
defendant.
Mr. Karslako, in. opening the case, said that the facts
which would have to bo disclosed and the correspondence
it would be necessary to produce would occupy a long time.
It appeared that the plaintiff was the son of Col. Dawkins,
who had been a distinguished officer in the same battalion
in which the . plaintiff served. Tho plaintiff entered
the Coldstream Guards in 1811, and served with distinc-
tion in the Crimean war, and he continued with his batta-
lion until 1865, when the order of S.R.H. the Commander-
in-Chief compelled him to retire. From an early period it
appeared that the plaintiff had become very obnoxious to
Colonel Newton, who had been formerly in the Coldstream
Guards. He had been accused of a broach of military duty,
but the only case that could be made out against him was

that upon ono occasion, while he was on leave of absence
at Rome, there was an unusually early muster-roll of the
regiment, and-the letter from the adjutant informing
hi►n of the fact did not reach him before it was too late to
be in attendance. Colonel Newton administered to him a
severe rebuke, not only in the presence of Captain Monk,
the adjutant, and inferior officer, but in the hearing of
some non-commissioned officers. Lord Frederick Paulet,
the commanding-officer of the battalion, commanded his
attendance, and exception was taken to a letter he had
written complaining of the conduct of Colonel Newton in

rebuking him before an inferior officer, and in the hearing
of non-commissioned officers. Lord Rokeby demanded
that he should recall that letter, which he ultimately con-
sented to do, at the same time complaining that ho had
been very improperly treated. Lord Rokeby censured him
severely. The learned counsel then proceeded to detail
a series of acts of which the plaintiff complained up to the
time of his being compelled to retire on half-pay, including
the refusal to grant him a court-martial.
Colonel Dawkins was then examined at considerable
length by Mr. Karslake. lie said that from the time he
entered the Coldstream Guards it appeared that Colonel
Newton had taken an unaccountable dislike to him, and
he was never on the same terms with him as with his

other follow officers. Colonel Percival, who had formerly
been in command of the Regiment, had sent him a message
by telegraph, oomplaining of some particular act on his
part, and he remonstrated with him for adopting a medium
of such publicity for conveying a disagreeable communica-
tion. The matter then ended, and after that they were
on very good terms. Colonel Newton had made a
most unfair use of that circumstance to injure him with
Lord Rokeby. With regard to not attending the muster
roll, it arose out of an accident. Ho was on leave of ab-
sence in Rome in 1859, and the letter did not reach him at
Wiesbaden, where ho was staying on his return home. He
had given instructions at the Guards' Club that the letters
should be forwarded to him, and the letter of Captain
Monk informing him that the muster-roll would take place
on the 9th of May did not reach him until his leave of
absence in a foreign country had expired ; but it was
usual for officers to extend their absence at home beyond
the actual period, except under peculiar circumstances.
He did not consider that he was bound to attend
on duty before June, but if he had received
the letter in time ho would certainly have done so.
There was some unpleasantness arose in consequence of
Capt. Monck's letter relative to the invitation to the
Queen's ball not reaching him in time. The letter was not
directed as ho (Colonel Dawkins) gave directions, and the
result was that ho did nit get it until it was too late. lie
felt displeased at such a circumstance, and wrote a letter
to Capt. Mouck complaining of the matter. Capt. Monck
thougqt the letter contained offensive expressions, and ho
wrote to him (witness) to withdraw the note, which ho
fused. The correspondence was ultimately forwarded to
Lord Rokeby, and on May 27 he received a letter to attend
at Montague abuse, Upper Berkeley-street. When he
went there ho saw Lord Rokeby alone, but Lord F. Paulet•
afterwards arrived. Lord Rokeby said Capt. 3lonek was.
quite right. He was in a violent passion, and ho approached
him (witness), grinding his teeth, and said ho was stub-
born, and that he should have great hesitation in recom-
mending him for promotion in the army, and he (witness)
understood him to say that ho was losing his time by re-
maining in the army. Lord F. Paulet alluded to some
manner, and Lord Rokeby, who was very violent, and said
something about court-martial
..if ho did not notice
Colonel Newton's presence more distinctly than he had
done. Ho did not know thai he had ever treated Colonel
Newton with coolness or disrespect. Ho had always
noticed Colonel Newton when in private life. The wit-
ness, during the interim with Lord Rokeby, was asrospect-
ful as it was possible to be. Lord Rokeby got more violent
in the conversation . lie would not listen to his ex-
planation. He then left the house. He did not withdraw

the letter he had written to Captain Monk. Tho interview
with Lord 119keby took place on the 25th of May.
But when he Wt town for Ash he consulted
with some of his military friends. W' hie on duty
at Ash there were a great many officers there. Colonel
Stepney was the officer in command at Ash. On the 21st
of June ho had been out with his mon at practise, and in
the course of the day, while off duty, he wont into the
luncheon tent. He took the seat near the door, as the
place was very full. There were at the time some gun-
makers trying the rifles. Ho satv Lord Rokoby when he
entered the tont, and after an interval Lord Itokoby and
his friend rose to leave the tont. He (witness) was still
sitting at luncheon with others on both sides of him. Ho
knew Lord Rokeby was in plain clothe; and when he
cause to the place where he (witness) was sitting his atten-
tion was attracted by the whole party stopping, and
Colonel Stepney said, "Dawkins." He (witness) looked,
_ _

and then ho saw Lord Rokeby talking to Cap-
tain Legge. Lord Rokeby extended his hand and said,
" How are you, Dawkins ?" Ho (witness) rose as
soon as he could, and saluted in the most respectful
manner. Lord Rokeby returned the salute, and went out
of the tont, and he witness went on with his lunch. He
did not take Lord Rokeby's hand when he extended it. Ho
felt there was nothing disrespectful in what he did. Ito
resumed his luncheon, and having finished ho proceeded
with his duty. About three hours after this he received

a letter from Colonel Stepney to attend on him. He was
sure Lord no'why was not in Ash on command.
Ho was in plain clothes, and he bolieved ho had
come from London to see the rifles tried. Ho wont to Col.

Stepney when Col. Arniitaga was present. Col. Stepney
__ .

said ho must put him under arrest. Lie was not sure
whether he said ho was ordered, but ho perfectly rocol
lectod that he said it was for deliberately insulting Lord

Rokeby, and that he was not to go to the mess. He under-
stood he was to remain at his quarters.
Tho learned Judge—Was anything further said ?
Withess—Yes, my lord, but I perfectly recollect Cot
Stepney saying I was put under arrest for deliberately
insulting Colonel Rokeby. There were plenty of officers
at Aldershot to constitute a court-martial, if required.
(The case is likely to occupy several days.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

-- -
AN IMPOSTOR.—Chas. Pennington, described as a clerk,
was charged as follows :

Mr. Reginald B. York, a gentleman residing at No. 45
St. James's-place, said—Last night, about 20 minutes past
11, I was passing through Trafalgar-square on my way
home from the Adelphi Theatre, when the prisoner came
up to me and told me a story to the effect that ho had just
come from Canada, that he was in great distress, having
had nothing to eat for some days, but that he was in ex-
pectation of receiving remittance through a banker. I re-
cognised the prisoner as a rirm who had begged of me
several times, and remember that on one occasion he told
me that ho had comp from Hell, and I then gave him a
shilling. I allowed the prisoner to follow me till I came
to a policeman, and then gave him into custody, and should
have done so a few nights age, but he succeeded in giving
me the slip.
Bernard Campbell, 209 C —On taking the prisoner into
custody he denied begging.
Prisoner—l did speak to the gentleman, but I did not
ask for anything. I said I was in a painful position, and
he talked to me till we got near a constable, and he then
seized me and gave me into custody.
Mr. Knox—l shall commit the prisoner for a month, and
if he comes here again he will go for a longer term.
