Monday last, Major-General Sir Edward Blake-
ney left his house in George's-street, on a tour of
inspection in his district. Yesterday he reviewed
the 70th and 76th Regiments, at Templemore, and
this day pursues his tour to see the Queen's Bays at
Cahir, the 77th at Clonmel, and out-quarters of
75th, at Fethard, in the county of Tipperary.
The Queen's Bays were inspected at Cahir on
Wednesday, by Sir John Byng.
Sir John Byng dined on Thursday with the Of-
ficers stationed at Fethard, and on the same day in-
spected the Artillery, Queen's Bays, and the depot
of the 77th Regiment.
The 53d Regiment embarked at Monkstown, on
Saturday afternoon, for Gibraltar.

This day the 75th Regiment and the reserve com-
panies of the 65th Regiment at Fermoy, were in-
spected by Sir John Byng.
Thursday, a Garrison Court-martial assembled in
the new barracks, for the trial of William Turnbull,
private in the Bays, charged with intoxication. He
was found guilty, and sentenced to two months'
imprisonment in the County Limerick gaol.
On Saturday the serjeants of the 62d Regiment,
gave a sumptuous dinner at the Castle Barracks, to
most of the noncommissioned Officers in garrison ;
the Serjeant-major in the chair. His Majesty's
health was given with all the honours, also Colonel
Reid and the Officers of the regiment, with several
other appropriate toasts. The Chairman made a
very feeling address to the company, on the subject
of Quartermaster-Serjeant Thomas Grace being
about to retire from the corps, in which he had
served with credit the long period of twenty-eight
years, over various parts of the globe, and gave his
health amidst loud cheers. The veteran warrior
rose to express the. most grateful sense of the com-
pliment, and the deep regret he felt on retiring from
the society of hie companions in arms. The com-
pany enjoyed a most festive evening.
The Lord Sdfield transport is arrived at Cork,
to convey troops to Corfu.

COURT-MARTIAL AT IPSWICH, BEFORE MAJOR-GENE-
RAL SIR JOHN MACLEANE, K.C.8., AND A BOARD OF

OFFICERS.

On Wednesday se'nuight evidence was heard on
the prosecution of the charges against Lieutenant
Hely, of the 7th IDragoon Guards. They were in
effect as follows :—That Lieutenant Hely, an Officer
of the 7th Dragoon Guards, had, between the 6th
of November, 1828, and the 10th of July, 1829,
contracted a debt of 381. 17s. 2d., on account of
mess, with William' Hyem, mess•man to the Regi-
ment; which debt he, the said Lieutenant Hely,
had neglected to, discharge, though frequently ap-
plied to so to do. ?. That the said Lieutenant Holy

had borrowed of Thomas Sage, waiter at the Great
White Horse Tavern, on the 28th of June last, the
sum of 101., which sum he, the said Lieutenant
Hely, had, in violation of his promise, neglected to
pay. 3. That the said Lieutenant Hely had given
various hills of exchange for money to a non•com-
Missioned officer, -viz.--,-Paymaster Setjeant James
Ganley, of the 7th Dragoon Guards, some of which
were returned unpaid, there being no funds or assets
for the payment of the same, by means whereof,
and for money lent between May, 1826, and April,
1829, a balance of about 741. has become, due to
the said Paymaster, which the said Lieutenant
Hely has neglected to pay, although frequently ap-
plied to for the same ; and the said balance is now
due and' unsettled to the said Paymaster Ganley,
with the exception of the sum of 1/. 45., which has
since been received, viz. on the 23d of June last,
from Troop Serjeant Robinson. Such conduct on
the' part, of the said Lieutenant Hely being dis-
graceful, and unbecoming the character of a gentle-
man, and in breach of the regulations of the service.
William Hyem and James Ganley gave evidence in
support of the first and second charges; they stated
the.balinces had become due from-running accounts
—that they had always found Lieutenant Hely
highly honourable in his money transactions, and.
had given him credit to a large amount, but .that
latterly hearing. the Lieutenant had -many .claims
upon him, they had made frequent applications
for their debt, and had not been able to obtain
it. In support of the second charge, Joseph
Sage stated, that on the 28th of June, in the after-
noon, Lieutenant Hely went to the White Horse
and borrowed a 101. note, which he, witness, carried
to him ; he considered himself accountable to his
master for the note, and had, but in vain, made ap-
plication for payment. Mrs. Brooks, stated she had
written to Lieutenant Hely, requesting him to pay '
the ten pounds to the last witness. Mr. Brooks
considered the money as due to himself. The Court
was occupied in receiving evidence on these charges
till two o'clock on Thursday, and when it was con-
cluded Lieutenant Hely immediately commenced his
defence, and in a short exordium stated, that lie
should not long have trespassed on the time of the
Court, had not the charges been such as to affect his
future prospects in life; his integr;ty and honour had
been impeached, and lie had been denied, till this
occasion, an opportunity of vindicating his conduct;
that opportunity had now arrived, of which he was
truly rejoiced. His name had stood high at the
Horse Guards, and honourable mention of him had
been made in six successive Gazelles, no small
proof of the estimation in which lie was held. The
debt was not contracted in the mess-room, although
he was a member of it, and was therefore, no in-
fringement of the mess regulations; and lie called
on the Court to bear in mind, that as Riding-master
he only received his pay by the half-year. Hyem,
the messman, was recalled, and on his examination
by Lieutenant Hely, on reference to retrospective ac-
counts, said he had always been satisfied with Lieut.
Hely's payment, and had given him credit for five
and six months, without receiving any payment.
Lieut. H. here observed, that it was an inconsistent
and contradictory statement to affirm that frequent
application hail been made when five months had
not elapsed. Hyem had found him in difficulties,
and had reported him to his commanding officer.
With regard to the second charge. On the time in
question, about four o'clock in the afternoon, he
chanced to pass the Post-office, when he suddenly re-
collected he had a remittance to send to York.; he had
not a sufficient sum in his pocket, and, therefore
went to the White Horse, and sent his name to
Mr. Brooks, requesting the loan of 10/.; the waiter
brought it him, but he did not consider the money
due to the waiter, and therefore did not pay him.
He produced a receipt, signed by Mr. Brooks, for
the 10/. which was settled a few days after it was
.borrowed. With regard to the last charge—Lieu-
tenant Hely observed, that when he entered the
regiment, he found Sergeant Ganley in the confi-
dence of every officer in it, and he employed him in
the capacity of an agent, as other officers did ; he
had been charged with having given various bills of
exchange, without having assets to meet the same,
and some bills on Greenwood and Co. had been
cited as proofs of this charge. In answer to this he
stated, that when his regiment was in Ireland, his
father died—an order from the Treasury for money
payable to his father, was received by him, which he
considered was his immediately after his father's
death; he paid it into the hands of Messrs. Green-
wood and Co. bankers, in London, and soon after
Ganley came to him and asked him for three bills
of exchange, which %sere given him ; but a few
days before those bills became due, lie (Lieutenant
Hely) received intimation, that if lie touched the
money due upon the order, in consideration of which
the bills were drawn, he would do so at his peril, it
not being properly made over to him. The bills
were our, but he could not tell in whose hands they
were, and stop the holders from presenting them ;
and, therefore, he wrote to Greenwood and Co., re-
questing them to dishonour the bills—they did so—
and he, when they were returned to him, immedi-
ately paid two; and Ganley, the Sergeant, without
acquainting him paid the third. Could this, he
asked the Court, be called dishonourable ? This
statement was supported by written documents, and
by the evidence of Ganley. By the admission of
Ganley, it appeared that he had at one time
1601. of Lieutenant Hely's cash in his own
hands. Lieutenant Hely observed, Ganley could
have paid himself with it, but as there were other
prior claims upon that money, he considered it the
more honourable course to discharge those claims,
instead of paying himself. Ganley was satisfied with
his (Lieutenant tidy's) conduct upon his assurance,
first, of receiving his appointments in case of his
leaving the regiment; but when he understood there
was no probability of his so doing, lie was satisfied
with a promise of payment which he (Lieutenant
Hely) promised to send from London, that promise
he had been unable to fulfil in consequence of 'some
bills payable to his order having passed .into bad
hands before lie received the money due upon diem.
After making great inquiries, and subjecting himself
to expenses of upwards of 400/., be found the holder ra
of his bills (of 250/. each), one in the Fleet, the
other in the King's Bench. Under -these circutns
stances he was cheated, and Ganley disappointed.
He considered it a piece of injustice that the charges
against him had been put into his hands %%idiot his
Caving received intimation of them, as, had he known
of the last charge by Ganley, lie would, as he had
since done, have. reduced his charge to 221. He
never positively borrowed money of Ganley, but
only lied transactions with him as an accredited
agent, and Ganley could speak to his never having
issued bills• without having reasonable grounds for
supposing they would be taken up. When Lieut.
Hely finished his defence, which was on Monday,
the Deputy Judge Advocate requested the adjourn-
ment of the Court till Wednesday last, to giVe fiim
time to prepare an answer. It was granted ; and on
Wednesday the Deputy Judge Advocate cot tended,
thatLieutMely had not refuted either statement of fre-
quent application for money having been made to him iii
vain. He referred to some Written documents respecting
the bills'drawn on Greenwood and Co:,.and alluded
to a letter (which he did not produce) sent by
Messrs. Greenwood to Lieutenant Hely, 'to inform
him they could not pay his bills of exchange. He
likewise referred to the other bills of 2504 each,
stating, that it did not appear how Lieutenant Hely
was the loser' by 'them, as they were drawn by a
Lieutenant Bulwer; and there was no evidence

that Lieutenant Hely had paid any law expellees.
An assignment of pay had likewise been made by
the Lieutenant, in which neither Hyem's nor Gan-
hy's account were included. Lieutenant Hely I a,-
jug obtained an adjournment
.of half an hour, in re-
ply to the-Deputy Judge Advocate's statement, said
that he never remembered the letter in question
being sent to him—and as other correspondence
with Messrs. Greenwood had been produced in
evidence, it was strange that this letter (if it had
been sent to him—of which he had no recollection),
was not likewise produced, us it most materially
affected the case. With regard to the bills being
drawn by Lieutenant Bulwer, he informed the
Court, that he had considered himself so far respon-
sible for diem that he had made over the greater
part of kis pay to Lieutenant Bulwer, in liquida-
tion of them. He greatly objected to statements
being, referred of things which occurred after the
chaiges were out against him, and which had no
connection with them.

The Court closed at three o'clock on Wednesday,
The decision of the Court will not be made pub-
lic until his Majesty has been pleased to signify his
will that the circumstances which have led to the in-
quiry be made known to the army.
