PENROSE. PRESENTATION. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Thb Commissariat Transport Corps, which has been in existence for the last four years, being about to be broken up, or at all eventi materially reduced, the non-oommiisioned. officer* and men of No. 4 company met on the evening of Thursday last, for the purpose of presenting Staff-sergeant Wright with a testimonial of their respect and esteem on the eve of his departure from the company. The testimonial consisted of a silver cup, subscribed for by the company and a few other friends in the corps, and bore a suitable inscription. It was presented by Staff-sergeant Melloy, of No. 3 company, in an appropriate speech, which was feelingly responded to by Sergeant Wright, after whioh those auetnbled spent a most agreeable and harmonious evening. Sergeant Wright leaves the corps with the best wishes not only of his own company, but with the esteem and respect of all with whom he has come in contact ; and we are sure that the same qualities which gave him a status in the corps will crown with success his after undertakings in private life.
