The opening of the new great Bristol deck was the osten sible object of the Royal visit, but this event was but as a peg upon which many other festivi ties have been hung. The whole west country has risen en masse to welcome the Prince and Princess just as it is preparing to do an a larger scale when the king and queen go down to-day for the various ceremonies at Dartmouth and Plymoth.

The provision of counsel for the defence in these cases, rests with the War-f Office, though of course the selection is made by the officer concerned. General Truman asked Mr. Dickens. R. C.
