It is an extraordinary circumfiance, and almolt
nbw in the fervice ; but though k is not a year !ince
the t t th Regiment came home a pedal ficeleton from

to the unceafing exertions of a very excellent Officer,

Lieutenant M— of the gth Regiment of Native
Infantry of India, was tried at the Bombay Seffions
in Aptil Lail, on an indidment upon the Statute; lot
having wilfully and malicioufly firci a piftal loaded
with (mall (hot at Captain Maims. It appeared in
evidence, that the Officers of the tit battalion of the
gth Regiment gave a dinner to thole of the sth, at
the Mels Room at Poonah, at which the prifoner was
prefent. The prifoner, in cunfequence of repeatedly
interrupting the company, was at length turned out
of the room. He afterwards returned with a drawn
(word, which was wrefled from him, and he was
a fecond time turned out. He again returned
with pitlols, one of which he fired, and wounded
Captain Martin (who was thereby deprived of his
fight), and three other Officers. The prifoner de-
livered in a long written defence, which was read by
his Counfel, and the purport of which was, that he
wax fo much intoxicated at the time as to be entirely
unconfci,,us of what he was doing, and that he had
no malicious intention. The Recorder (Sir J. MACE.
taros's) fummed up the evidence, and pointed out
the bearing of the cafe to the Jury, who, after
retiring for about an hour and a half, returned a
verdid of guilty; but firongly recommended the
prifoner to mercy. Some points of law were after.

La( night, about eight o'clock; the houfe of
Lady CLia taws; in Berkeley fquare, was ditkovered
to be on fire. It broke out at the back part of the
houfe, on she attics, and at firft teemed to threaten
the whole premifes with dellration. However, by
the aeive exertions of the firemen, it was got com-
pletely under before eleven o'clock, though not till
the attics were entirely deflroyetl,, alai the roof had
fallen in, and the valuable furniture and other parts
of the houfe much damaged. The fquare was fhortly
filled with engines ; but the fupply of water was at
firft very fcanty. Lady CUIRMONT was at home at the
time it happesed, and it was not without difficulty
that her Ladyfitip could be induced to accompany
-tier filler, the Countefs of ROSSMORS, who had been
dining with her, to her houfe in Bolton•flreet, which
her Ladytbip complied with, after having packed up
her jewels and wardrcbe. Great apprehenfions were
at firft entertained for the fafety of the houfe of the
Earl of Powts, on the left, and SilJoux Haaatuo-
von's, on the right ; bat the damage futlained was
confined to the floor where the fire Rift broke out.—
Much praife is due to the Volunteers of St. Jagses's,
Mary-la bonne, and St. George's, for the allikace
which they rendered on the occafion.
