A Cotjrtmartial is sitting in the barracks upon the conduct of Lieuten ant Barclay, of the 96th,—he being charged with a want of personal courage and soldier-like behaviour on the day when Kororarika was sacked. The trial is proceeding with open doors, and we attended for the purpose of reporting proceedings, but were forbidden to do so; the evidence being taken down, by authority, verbatim, may be made known hereafter. Col Despard acted as President of the Court, supported by Captains Thompson and Snodgrass; Adjutant McLeary acted as Deputy Judge Advocate with much patient, and very able, industry. The Court consisted of eight officers besides the Colonel President.
