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 soldier's hair instead
of flour, for which he narrowly escaped being sent 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.
