ACCUSED'S STORY.

The only evidence for the, de fence was given by accused who said that he noticed his ritte lean-i ng against the wall and he picked it

up to fix the bayonet.

to explain how the weapon came AT NOON ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30th,

to be londed, but did not accuse anyone of leading it,

Et. Hope said accused's explana- tion was a very doubtful one as It would be dilleult accidentally to fire the ritie in the position described. In any case accused should be found guilty of negligence in picking up a cocked rifle and attempting to fix the bayonet.

QUITE PROBABLE.

Lt. Martin, addressing the Court, maintained that accused's version of the incident was a quite pro- bable one and in view of his state-| ment that he was happy in the Service and had no wish to be unft, it should be accepted,

The Court found accused guilty and sentence will be promulgatau in due course.
