The Charge Against "Colonel' Lynch.

At Bow Street Police Court, London, on Tuesday, July 29th, beforo Sir Albert D» Eutzen, further evidence was taken in the case of Mr Arthur Lynch, M", P.

George Alexander Greig, an American citizen, said, in reply to the Solicitor- General, that at tte commencement of the war he was employed as caretaker of the Crown Beef Gold Mine near Johannesburg. At yereeniging Railway Station, when in company of att Englishman and another American he saw "Colonel " Lynch, who wa3 dressed iv riding breeches, with a hafr turned up on .one side with the" Irish Brigade "on it.'" He had a revolver. Lynch seemed to be assisting in the removal of freight Witness and hia companions got into a train; thereupon a party of Boeri entered the carriage and arrested them. The train was stopped, and they were taken back to the station and conducted to a small building at the back. They were there completely searched by three Boers. They were then charged with being British spies, and a sort of Court-martial was held on them. This took place before a Dutch commandant.

Sir,JEdv?ard Carson—Who else was there ! Witness — Colonel Lynch was present, and seemed to conduct the case as a sort of Public Prosecutor. Lynch turned to question Mr Holder, one of the witness' companions, saying, "Mr Holder are you not a member of the Johannesburg Town Council ?-' Holder replied that he had been. Lynch asked," '*ison't you remember the Burgomaster introducing me?" Then Holder broko in, "Oh, are you Captain Lynch ?" Colonel Lynch corrected him. *■' Colonel Lynch, if you please; then yon do remember me ?" and turning to the man taking the evidence, he said, "Please put that answer down." Then Lynch went on, "Why did"you deny having known me?" Holder replied, "When you were intro duced in the Johannesburg Town Coun cil it was during a busy session. Now, when I look at you, again, I see you are the same Mr Lynch that was introduced then." Then, proceeding with his examin ation of me, Lynch asked me where thud been for the past twenty-four hours, and I gave him a detailed account. Lynch said, " How does that agree with the statement of a man who is prepared to come in here and swear he saw you on your bicycle twenty miles iv the country.this morning ?" I said there was only one answer to that— the man was a liar. Lynch remarked," Tut; tut, youmusb nor use such language before the Court." Laughter). I told him I was not afraid. No/witness was pro duced. I objected to answering somo of Lynch's questions Cas they were several times repeated, and the Command ant upheld me. Lynch then turned to him and said, " Commandant, I want to show you that these men are British spies, and should be shot. :

Sir Edward Carson, upon this evidence, asked the Magistrate to commit the prison er for trial. Under the statute 35, Henry VIII., the trial must be before either tho King's Hencb. or a Special Commission. Mr Biron, on behalf of Colonel Lynch, asked the Court, to gtaut a shirt adjourn ment in oidtr tbat the accused might haye an opportunity of i onsidering his position and what course he should lake.

Sir Albert, c'e Rutzen—l do not suppose that tl,me will lie any difficulty about that. Mr Biron —An adjournment to Friday would >,'ive ample time to Colonel Lynch.-.^ The accused was thereupon further re manded t;ll Friday (August 1).

I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, eto. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I was. He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and i to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new | man, thanks to your great discovery. I 1 always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits.' You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. J. H. Paulino, Masterton.
