WINDSOR, Aug. 28. ---Trial by
court-martio.1 is the prospect faced bY
Provost Sergeant Milligan, of the
21st Regiment Guard, for a viola-
tion of military etiquette in connec-
tion with the recent visit to this city
of General Sir Willia.m D. Otter
Sergt. Milligan was on duty at the
ferry dock, examining passports of
men about to leave for Detroit. He
demanded Sir William Otter's pass-
port. When, the officer, who was not
in uniforna stated who he was and
admitted not having a permit to
leave Canada, he was detained for
several minutes.
Following the incident, Sergt. Mil-
ligan is alleged to have written a re-
port of the affair to the military au-
thorities at Ottawa. He should have
made a report of it to his immediate
superior, Captain, Arthur Paddon,
who would, in turn, have written to
Ottawa had circumstances justined
this couree.
