Major-Gen. Sir W. F. Williams and staff yester-
day made the annual inspection of the Royal Artil-
lery batteries, which were drawn up in review order
at 2.30 p.m. at the rear of the cantonment on

alo!e state of the weather the field manoeuvres
usually attending the yearly inspection were par-
tially dispensed with. After examining the arms
and accoutrements the General informed the men
that he would be happy to pay attention to any
com[laints they might wish to make. None, how-
ever, were proffered. At the termination of the
inspection the General expressed his satisfaction at
their appearance and soldierlike neatness and order,
and heartily congratulated the officers on the high
discipline of the oorps.
