CASERNS

, or Cazerns, in Fortification, small rooms, or huts, erected between the ramparts and the houses of fortified towns, or even on the ramparts themselves; to serve as lodgings for the soldiers on immediate duty, to ease the garrison.

CASE-Shot, or Cannister-Shot, are a number of small balls put into a round tin cannister, and so shot out of great guns. These have superseded, and been substituted instead of the grape-shot, which have been laid aside.
