"Wall," continued his Worship, "I don't know if even that includes military officers and military land. I think I had better adjourn this case for 24 hours and you might! take advice as to what you are going to charge him with."

His Worship remarked that he could not conviet the accused on the present charge. -

The case was again brought up this morning when His Worship decided that the original charge, that of Section 4 of Ordinance No. 1 of 1895 was quite correct and met the requirements, of the case.
