If Colonel Fox has told the truth and Captain Willis, M.H.E, does not say he has not, we cannot see *any reason that such a thorough incapable officer should not be shown up, in fact that was one of the reasons such a commander was obtained. The only leniency we ac- / cord to Captain Willis is that be hnd v the pluck, unless it was some other reason, to stand up to the inspection, showing thus to an advantage in comparison with his lieutenant Bay, the senior subaltern officer, who, the Colonel reports " had absented himself wilfully, evidently fearing to face inipeotloni" HaiMr Willis, M.H.R., considered tbt purpoat that a portion of oor'u r '
'■ taxes' are paid away in subsidies to volunteer corps '? If so it must be evident an alteration must be made in the corps he commands, otherwise the money is being simply wasted.
