him connected with the riot in the sGeofgln
Regiment, eli the 3Ist August. We were
under The impression, from the tfrst,Sthat

fair were greatly exaggerated, and that I, u
Capt. McMahon did anyslhing wrong, u.
was Attributable 10 lhe misconduct sos
others, rather than to any impro9er ieei-.

now most happy to have these impressions
more than confirmed by the decision ofsa
court martial, before which all che 5lacts
were fully developed. We are happystor
