Answer--Lieut.-Col. Booker gave the caution to "Look out for cavalry!" and I gave the command to "Form square." Question--Can you state what portion of the Queen's Own were undrilled recruits? Answer--They were, as a rule, partially drilled, some men undrilled. Recruits were joining every week, and all the available men, drilled and undrilled, were in the field. Question--What proportion of the whole battalion had not been exercised with blank cartridge? Answer--With the exception of one or two days in May, when the whole battalion were out skirmishing, I am satisfied that half of the men had never fired a shot. Question--What proportion of the men had never practised with ball cartridge? Answer--The proportion was about the same, about half. Question--What proportion of the regiment was composed of lads under twenty years of age? Answer--I should say more than half of the regiment. Question--Did you observe any difference in the demeanor of the lads and the other soldiers going into action? Answer--No. Each were equally cool. I particularly noticed the companies that morning as they marched out to the skirmish, and all were equally cool. I may state here that this was the first occasion on which the whole regiment had an opportunity to skirmish as a battalion. I also wish to state that I saw the right wing of the Thirteenth extend and advance in skirmishing order, and that nothing could exceed the steadiness and regularity with which they advanced. EVIDENCE OF W. T. URQUHART. The thirteenth witness called by Lieut.-Col. Booker was Wm. T. Urquhart, assistant editor of the Hamilton _Spectator_, who was a private in No. 4 Company. Thirteenth Battalion. Question--Do you recollect seeing Lieut.-Col. Booker after the fight at Lime Ridge, and where? Answer--I do. I saw him on the rising ground immediately in rear of where the action took place. Question--Were you exposed to a heavy fire? Answer--We were. Question--Were you one of the retreating column? Answer--In the rear. Question by the Court--What was Lieut.-Col. Booker doing at the time you noticed him? Answer--He was trying to restore order. Question--Where were you when the right wing went out to skirmish? And did your skirmishers relieve those in front of you? Answer--We were on the right. I was in the company forming the support of the skirmishers on the right, and the skirmishers of our company in front relieved those of the Rifles in front of them. The Rifles retired in good order to the reserves. I certainly saw two companies come in, but I cannot speak as to the whole line. Question--From the time your skirmishers were posted until the retreat, how much time elapsed? Answer--I should think about an hour. Question--What caused the retreat, in your opinion, and what succeeded?
