Folunteers—Cartridges ex "Stadt Amster-dom."—The Chairman states that the Defence Committee held a meeting on the 24th inst., for the purpose of investigating all the circumstances connected with the nine cases of cartridges ex Stadt Amster dam, which were found to contain bricks, ete.' The Committee are of opinion that although there is no positive evidence that Armourer Garthwaite is implicated the substitution of bricks, etc., for cartridges, there could be no question about his having been guilty of gross carelessness in the matter; they therefore consider that he is unfit for the position of Armourer, and recommend that he should be dismissed from the post, and sent back to his duties as Police constable.
The Council approve of this recommendation, which is to be carried out so soon as arrangements are made for another man to take his place as Armourer.
