Vyvyan, charged Royston's Horse with shooting natives in cold blood, stealing cattle belonging to loyal natives, aud other conduct disgracing Englishmen. A military court enquired into *he matter, aud in the main exonerated the corps. The court considered it unavoidable that five natives were shot while trying to escape). EXPANDING BULLETS UaED.
