Hare, and several other gentlemen, attended the marshes on Wednesday, the 20th, to witness some extraordinary experiments, conducted by Mr. Charles Lancaster, gunmaker, on the greatly increased range of rifles and small arms, by the introduction of an improved description of bail. The range tried was twelve hundred yards, at which enormous distance, with balls 15 bore to the pound, the target was struck 5 times in 24 rounds, the ball piercing a 3-inch plank, and then burying itself 14 inches in the clay. Had the weather not been so very unfavourable, in the opinion of all present by far the larger portion would have hit the mark. END OF VOL. XV.
