The prisoner was defended by his "friend," Jas.
Hoskins, Esq.
Tilt deputy judge advoeate, William Hellyer,
Esq., haVii-Ig opened the court in due form, and the
several witnesses having been examined, the court
was cleared for the defence.
In about an hour the court was re-opened, and
the prisoner read his defence in a clear and firm
manner, and called witnesses to show that be had
been labourinz under very distressing illness, which
was certified by the doctor of the Juno. The pri-
sener also submitted several certificates from his
commanding officer.
The court was then again cleared, and in about
half an hour was re-opened, when the Deputy
Judge Advocate delivered the sentence :
" That the court had deliberately and maturely
considered the case, and the evidence of the several
witnesses examined for and against, and that the
court considered the charge partly proved of being
negligent while on watch, bat that, in considera-
tion of the illness which he was labouring under,
the court did adjudge the prisoner to be severely
reprimanded—and he it severely reprimanded
accordingly."

THE RIGHT HON. SIDNEY HERBERT
OAI

advantage could not be ret down at less than 7d.
a-week. Then he got a coat, a pair of trousers,
and a pair of boots every year, a shako every two,
and a greatcoat every three years. He put this at
ls. a-week, or 525. a-year. Then ho had lodging,
bedding, fuel, light, and the use of a library, which
he thought would be said to be cheap at 2d. a-day.
His medical attendance, too, at the lowest contract

price would be 2 d. per week, and there was a
prospective pension of 10d. after 21 years' service,
and which, according to the Northampton tables,
could not be purchased at less than 2d. a-week.
All this gave a total of 13s. 51,d., but it did not in-
clude contingent advantages, such as good-conduct
pay, extra rations in hot climates, and rations to
soldiers' wives. But, above all, there was the
chance of promotion to non-commissioned and
commissioned ranks, and such cases wore not so
rare as might be imagined ; the average of the last
12 years, exclusive of the Land Transport Corps,
had amounted to 36. Ho thought, therefore, it
should be more generally known that wo under-
rated the wages of the soldier ; that every oppor-
tunity was afforded for his merit tl improvement ;
and that with our sl►ort servitude of 10 years a
young man of 18 could not do better than serve
until he was 271, for he (Mr. Herb,-rt) felt assured
that he would return home more capable of sup-
porting himself, and be a more useful member of
society than before he went out. (Cheers.)
