THE DISMISSAL OF VOLUNTEER OFFICERS.—An
explanation of the late cashiering of fourteen mutinous
officers in the 48th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers has been
furnished by " One who knows the facts." The writer
says that there has existed for some time in the corps a
combination of a very objectionable character, headed by
an officer who hoped to supply Lieutenant-Colonel Cruik-
shank's place. Under the influence of this cabal the com-
manding officer was insulted. He was ready to resign if
he was refunded certain moneys he had advanced, but
this the junior officers refused. Lieutenant-Colonel Cruik-
shank placed the matter in the hands of the authorities,
And all who signed the memorial were cashiered. The
Commanding officer interceded for some of them without
avail, and found that he could not recommend them again,
as they were incapable of ever again holding a commission
in her Majesty's service. It is said that there will be no
difficulty in replacing the officers.
A marriage will shortly take place between
Colonel Towneley and the Hon. Mrs. Stonor, widow of the
Hon. Thomas Stonor.
