NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Commander-in-Chief has approved the ap-
pointment of Lieut. F. A. Gore, 84th Regiment, as
Aide-de-Camp to his Excellency Lord Napier,
K.T., Governor of Madras.
Yesterday a general court-martial assembled at
Chatham garrison, by order of the Duke of Cam-
bridge, Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, for
the !trial of Captain James Hett Tennant, 45th
(Sherwood Foresters) Regiment. The court was
presided over ty Colonel J.. L. A. Simmons, C. 8.,
Director of the Royal Engineer establishment ; and
Colonel the Hon. J. J. Bourke, commanding the
3d Depot Battalion, was the official prosecutor.
Col. J. H. Laye, Deputy-Judge-Advocate for the
district, conducted the trial. The prisoner was ar-
raigned for having, when in command detach-
mentofa
of troops of the line of the 3d Depot Battalion,
stationed at the Isle of Grain, absented himself
from his corps without leave from the 6th October
until the 21st of December, on which day he rejoined
his regiment at Chatham Garrison. The prisoner
pleaded " Not guilty." The witnesses examinediF ons
Capt. the part of the prosecution were H. F. S.
Lloyd, Royal Engineers, in command of the troops
quartered at the Isle of Grain ; Capt. and Adjt.
T.
N. Colthurst, 3d Depot Battalion ; and Ensign
G. Booth, 2d battalion of the 10th Regiment ; from
whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner was
granted leave of absence by his commanding officer
from the afternoon of the 4th of October until the
evening of the 6th of the same month. He, how-
ever, never returned to the Isle of Grain, which
station the troops left on the 16th of November, the
prisoner rejoining at Chatham on the 21st of De-
cember, when he was immediately placed under
arrest. The prisoner, who had declined cross-
examining any of the witnesses, said, in his defence,
that he was exceeding sorry for his conduct, and he
trusted that the court in passing sentence would
take into consideration his former character as an
officer and a gentleman during the ten years he had
been in the 45th Regiment. He then handed in a
number of testimonials from the following officers,
all of whom gave the prisoner a very high character
—viz., Major-Gen. H. Cooper, late commanding
the 45th Regiment ; Col. E. R. Jeffreys, C. 8.,
commanding the sth Depot Battalion ; Colonel H.
Shaw ; Col. W. R. Preston, late commanding 45th
Regiment ; Col. G. A. L. Blenkinsopp, late of the
45th Regiment ; Major R. B. Johnstone, late of the
45th Regiment ; and Capt. R. Blair, late of the
45th Regiment. The finding and sentence of the
court will not be made known until it has received
her Majesty's approval.
The unarmoured frigate Bristol, 31 guns, 600
horse power, screw engines, Capt. Leveson E. H.
Somerset, which arrived at Spithead on Monday
from the West Coast of Africa, sailed again from
Spithead at 4 p.m. yesterday for Sheerness, where
she is ordered to be dismantled and paid out of
commission. The Bristol experienced very rough
weather off the Azores on her passage home, and
rolled so deeply at times as to ship large quantities of
water over the lee netting.
The, Crocodile, screw Indian relief troopship,
Captain Watson, was placed iu the Warrior dock at
Portsmouth yesterday, to cleanse her hull below the
water line.

THE GAME LAWS.—A good deal of excitement
has been caused among the members of the llexlmin Far-
mers Club in consequence of the resignation of Mr. 0. G.
Grey, the president, through the following resolution hav-
ing been adopted at one of its meetings :—" That many
farmers suffer a heavy loss from damage to crops by hares
and rabbits ; that landlords who preserve many hares and
rabbits participate in the sins of the poachers by leading
them into temptation ; that it often happens that poaching
leads to greater crimes; and that a considerable sum is
expended in keeping poachers in prison, maintaining
their families, and also for prosecutions." At the annual
meeting of ihe club, hold on Tuesday, after a long and
animated discussion, the resolution was rescinded,-and ono
that in the opinion of the club undue preservation o game
was unjust to the occupiers of land and injurious to
the community, and ought to be abated, Was adopted in
its place.
