which led to their courtmartial was the

surrendering. It is supposed these
Beers had 100000 with them. Actu-
ated by cupidity, the Australians stop
ped the Beers, tried them by mock
court martial, and ordered all to be
shot.
This was done by a squadron of the
soldiers after some of the non-commis-

point of order against this provision,
Insisting that this subject was prop
