Wednesday, April 8^th: Before Messrs. W. Wightwick, Lieut. Colonel Hamilton, G.I. Swoffer, and E.T. Ward.

James McLean was charged with deserting from the Scottish Rifles, at Dover. He pleaded Guilty.

Inspector Lilley stated that at 11.30 on Tuesday night he saw prisoner walking up Dover Street. He saw him go to the Oddfellows public house, where he stood knocking for some minutes, getting no answer. As he had a military appearance about him he questioned him. In reply to his enquiries, prisoner said he came from Deal and Dover, at which latter place he had been working for a week. His name, he said, was William Wilson, and he described himself as a labourer. Asked if he was a soldier, he replied in the negative. Not being satisfied with his answers, the Inspector took him to the police station. Here prisoner said that last week he worked on the Pier at Dover, and lodged with a Mrs. Jackson in Roseberry Street, Dover. In communication with the Dover police, it was ascertained that this statement was false, as there was no such street in Dover. McLean then said he had worked at Winchester, but subsequently he told the Inspector not to trouble any further, admitting that he was a deserter from the Scottish Rifles.

Prisoner now had nothing to say.

An officer, who was in Court, said prisoner should have gone out with a draft to South Africa that morning.

Prisoner was handed over to an escort who were present in Court, and a reward of £1 was granted to Inspector Lilley for having effected the arrest.
