London, April 20.  On Tuesday, at Drury-Lane Theatre, in the
Entertainment of the Camp, when Mr. Gage, the exciseman, was
relating his having sent lime for the soldiers hair, instead
of flour, for which he narrowly escaped being tied to the
halberts, he added, "but, as I knew I was in the wrong, I
demanded a Court-Martial on the Serjeant."  The stroke was
felt, and the audience marked their approbation by three
loud plaudits.
