THE ORDNANCE SCANDAL.
Sir William Armstrong Beaten il
His First Court Contest.


LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Sir William Arm
strong Manufacturing company is resorting
to extreme measures to stop the military
newspaper exposures of the company's al
legged corruption of government officials to
secure contracts for the supply of ordnance.
Recently the company applied to the
queens bench for an Injunction to restrain
Capt. Armit from continuing to publish in
the Admiralty and Horse Guard Gazette
as he has been doing every week, fresh
allegations of corruption of ordnance Off
cials by the Armstrong;, pending the result
of the action for libel brought by the COM
pany against the captain for his original
allegation. In the succeeding exposures
Capt. Armit has described in detail alleged
cases of the grossest character, charging
several distinguished personages with
corruption and conspiracy, with having
formed among themselves ring for Sys-
tematic robbery of the government. The
court of queens bench has just rendered
the decision upon the petition for injunc-
ton. The court refused to grant the in
junction. and bases the refusal upon the
ground that the alleged Iibeis fall within
the class of privileged communications. "
eff these libels are true" says the court
sit is of the utmost importance that the
country should be made aware of the
knowledge they convey" Capt. Armit's
object, it is believed. is to force the govern
