The correspondent of the London
Standard at Frere, telegraphing an. -'der date of January 8, says that pat-
rols of the Natal Carbineers
arid Thorneyerof L's Horse thor-
oughly searched both flank's of
the Boer position on that date. They
found a considerable number of the
enemy encamped five miles east of Col.

Natives say that the Boers in the
Tegela river were greatly weakened
on january 6 by the withdrawal of
the bulk of their forces to I,adyseaith.

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

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

no intention of committing any crime
whatever. I was walking along the
street looking for a place to go to

stated that the recommendation to

that he could hdld out no hope for

"Henry Williams," said his Lord-
ship, "the sentence of this court is
that you be taken from the place
