EXPA.NSIVF EtTLLETS, A despatch from London says:--, 12ee-ltetford cartridges are running short in the British megazines, and according to semi-official report the War Office purposes to:fall back tem- porarily upon 100,000,000 " Mark IV. ex- panding bullets," most of which are already in storage in South Africa. The War Office, however, ,has issued a strict Order to the regiments that the ammunition of " Mark IV." given out in England, must be used in prectiee at home, none being taken to South Africa, • After the public announcement that no snot, bullet would be used in this war, its employment, the Daily Chron- icle thinks, would be a serious breach Of faith, especially as the British com- manders comelairied that the Boers oc- casionally use such projectiles.

'VMS apparently the most collected mart in tee room \vixen his Lordeldp asken him it he had anything to say why the judgment of tbe conrt should not be passed upon him. ,In a firm, unhesitating voice, Williams said: ---"I am not guilty, your Lordship, X had no intention of committing any crime whatever. I was walking along the street looking for a place to go to bed, when Mackintosh induced zne to go into the atom X did everything in my power to prevent Maokintosh from committing the crime." "Safer as the question of your guilt or innocence is concerned, said Ins Lordship, "in as far as this court is concerned, it is closed forever. You have been well defended. Your coun- sel bas conducted your case with abili- ity and moderation. It is always a sad thing to pass sentence on anyone, and in your ease it is really sad, al- though it cannot be said that you do not merit it, - , 'CBE JURY DID RIGHT in oonvieting you. The story you told. eould not be believed. Whether you are old or young in crime I cannot say. It may be that you have been inveigled into this case, but the evidence as to the revolver and your ownadmies- ions sealed vier fate, I (de net want to say anything that mill hurt your feelings. Think of whati yaw did! A man in the flush of his manhood. was sleeping quietly in his home. You en- tered his house and killed him far fie. thy lucre, which you woule not at- tempt to earn honestly. In your case you will have time to prepare for the end that certainly awaits you, but in the ease of your victim he was shot down without warning." HisLordship stated that the recommendation to mercy would be brought to the atten_ tion of ths proper authorities, but that he could hdld out no hope for clemency. . . "Henry Williams," said his Lord- ship, "the sentence of this court is that you be taken from the place where you stand to . the place whence you came, and that on Friday, the 1311i day of April, you be hanged by the neck, until you are dead, and may God have ineroy on your soul." The prisoner listened to the sentence without flinching, and walked from the court room with a firm tread. • 411 JAPANESE 1?EllISIIED. rieree Shinn Su*a 53 4ua5s - A 'Fbilat Way'e Followed. it despatch from Victoria, B.
