The Crawley Court -Martial is getting itself done amidst the
maledictions of newspaper readers. As a whole, the charges have, to unprofessional eyes, broken down, and that so completely, that the accused has abstained from calling witnesses for the defence. Colonel Crawley, if acquitted, will still be the defendant in the civil snit of "Wakefield v. Crawley," a claim for damages brought by another Serjeant-Major who was arrested at the same time with Serjeant-Major Lilley.
