Mr Johnson said that was his case. Me Brereton asked whether he did not call Inspector Swanston who brought the men over here and had charge of the case from the point Mr Matheson left off at.

Mr Johnson did not see that it was necessary.

The Magistrato aid it might be as well to make the case woors complete; but of course it was entirely at the discretion of the prosecutor.

Mr Johnsan said there could be no rea. sunable doubt that a very serious assault had been dammitted.

more reason why the case should go before a jury. Would it not be sufficient for the Crown Solicitor to have the first and second prisoners committed on this charge ?

The drovu solicitor said he would also ask that the third prisoner should be committed for the assault on the boy,

Mr Brorston rimarked that there was one point of very great importance as to which Mr Swanston could speak-“Did the complainant say, he conld identify two only of the prisoners."

The Magistrate maid If Mr Johnson did not call Inspector Swanstor, Mr Brereton could call him himself.

Mr Breraton said he would just ask the Inspector to step into the box for a mo- ment.

Mr Johnson then called Mr Swanston and put the questions afe Brereton had suggested.

The further details regarding the Kandahar disaster brought by the Khin yesterday are still rather meagra, and afford no adequate explanation of how it happened in face of the very confident expectation which seems to have been entertained in sil quarters able to judge that General Burrows would easily give an account of Ayub Khan and his force. It is evident, however, that the brigade was not "annihilated" oxoept in a purely military sonse. It was merely defeated and driven back with heavy loss, and the enemy scous to have suffured qually heavily, for they are said to have pur- sued for ouly two or three miles. Three officers only were killed, seven wounded saverely, and nine officers, with General Burrows himself, Col. St. Joha, the Political Officer, and others escaped un- touched, while the gator part of the brigade appear to have found their way back to Kandahar. It seems to be still uncertain whether the 66th Regiment (Berkshire) was present or not, and ita

he absence has been given as one reason of the rout of the brigade, but, according to the following official details of its composition, published on the 11th July, six companies of the regiment must have been present:
