Joseph Jackson, the carpenter of the Malta, gave similar testimony, and added that when the prisoner received the money for the wemen, he said, this is the work I like to be at. TRIAL OP CAPTAIN YOUNG. The Attorney and Solicitor General, Sir C. Robinson, i:he King's Advocate), Mr. Parke, and Mr. Barnett,' wet e Counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Curwood, for the defence. Mr. Rumen opened the awe for the eiteseetition, and stated that the indictment contained Arson mats, eats varying ike form of the charge. Sir C. Rontnsox stated the facts to the Jury. The indictment was framed under an Act of Parliament, which made the offence a capital felony, without bene fit of clergy, and the prisoner's was the first offence com mitted since the passing ofahat Act. Sir C. then stated to the Jury the terms of the various Acts of Parlia ment, relative to the Slave Trade, in which the offence of dealing in slaves was very properly designated as an outrage upon human nature. The prisoner was the Master of a Liverpool vessel trading to the coast of Africa, and in the year 1825, in the month of Novell). her, the vessel was in the river Danjah; and a Spanish slave ship was also thete. In the course of trading o ith the natives, after having delivered the articles they dealt in, it was the custom to have certain of the natives brought on board as hostages for the payment of the amount of their wares. The prisoner received four wo men, the wives of some of the native traders, on board his vessel as hostages, and there they remained about three weeks; during which time the prisoner several times threatened to sell them, unless their husbands re turned and completed their engagement. The Chief of the country, it appeared, had also incur red a debt with the prisoner. On the 17th November a Spanish slave ship, laying alongside, sent to the pti. soner for a supply of cutlery; and the . Mate, on going, to fetch them, was informed by the prisoner of his inten tion ce selling the women, and he exhibited them after wards to the Mate, and desiaed him to inform his Cap tain of his intention. The Mate teturried, and a price for the women was agreed upon b:tween him and the prisoner. The money was afterwards paid, and the women were transferred to the Spanish vessel by the pi i roner, where they were afterwards seen by many persons who went on board. Sir C. Robinson concluded by saying, that he should be able to prove these facts in evidence; and if he did so, the guilt of the prisoner would be completely established. David Clifford examined by the ATTORNEY Gems- RA L.—Witness stated. that he was steward of the ship Malta in LIM, which traded from Liverpool to the coast dr Aft ice. She sailed in the month of March, the pri , oner was the capt-in. The crew consisted of twelve seamen, the captain, and the mate.

Rose, an apprentice on board the Malta, and Lawrence Woods, another apprentice, were next ex amined, but nothing material was elicited from them. • This closed the cue for the prosecution. The prisoner was then called on for his defence, and handed a written address, which was read by the (dicer niche Court. The substance of the address was as follows : About six weeks after the vessel sailed from Liver pool, the crew conducted themselves in a mutinous manner, and completely set him at defiance. On their arrival off the coast of Africa five of them deserted, taking with them their clothes, fie. He (prisoner) suc ceeded in retaking them, and for a short time they resumed their duty. They again mutinied, and Walker, the mate, knoned him down and otherwise ill treated him, and he was confined to the cabin three days in consequence of the injuries he received. The whole charge arose out of a conspiracy among the crew to do him all the injury they could. It then stated, that he had agreed to supply the natives of the place u ith a certain quantity of cloth and other things, and was to have received in exchange about four hundred weight of ivory, and that the four women were sent on board his vessel as hostages for the fulfil ment of the contract. When he found that the ivory was not forthcoming, and that it was absolutely neces sary he should set sail, he in the course of his deal ings with the Captain of the schooner mentioned to him that he had four women on board as hostages, and re quested he would undertake to convey them home, wh'ch he did, and at the same time paid him for the ar ticles he had served to the natives, on having an autho rity to receive the ivory when the women were given up. That he had no reason to doubt but that the Captain of the schooner would do so, as the brother of one of the women (Nearah) acted as interpreter on board the Spa nish vessel, and several of the Chief's family were also present when the women were sent on board the schooner. Although the witnesses hailed two other King's ships, and staled their complaint against him to the Captains, they refused to interfere, and when taken as a prisoner on boat d the Brazen, the Captain of that vessel refused to hear his defence, or to make any inquiry among the natives upon the subject. In conclusion he solemnly protested his innocence, and implored the Jury to give his case a calm and dispassionate consideration. blr. Justice Pa ac remarked, that the address was a very able one; after which he summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after retiring about half an hour, returned a verdict of Not Goiky.

His father carried a drstwnsword, which was usually kept up in his bed-room on the first floor. Neither of his brothers, Samuel and William, had a thing in their haggis. Prosser kept bumping him as as Kelson, and he f e l t t h e e ff ect o f t h e bl ows which a three of them struck him together. Finding it imp,* sible to pt away, be cried " Murder I" but was about three minutes in their power. Told the same story, as nearly as he could, when he went before the Magis trate, and complained that Mr. Prosser had used him ill. Declared upon the occasion alluded to, that all three of the defendants had assaulted him; was certain of this, or at least thought so. Prosser stood at the far end of the room when he first went into it, but did not see him assisting Mrs. Kelson, though that Lady was screaming, and in distress. On a cross-examination by Mr. PHILLIPOTTS, this wit ness denied refusing to bring up the dinner a second time when directed to do so by Mrs. Kelson, and stated that her orders were obeyed with the utmost alacrity it was possible to use. Captain Kelson, he admitted, paid a bill of between 5% and SOL the day after the assault. Frederick Robertson, in consequence of hearing "murder!" cried up stairs, in a voice he could not recog nize, and the screams of I Lady's-maid (Emma ktossi ter) for some one to interfere on James's behalf, ran up to Kelson's room, where the defendant limns stood in the door-way, and attempted to hinder his admission. He passed by him,' at which time he was not engaged with his brother, whom Kelson and Prosser had by the collar between them. He was almost black in the face. Went up and rescued him, as he was held fast against the wall. They were violently pushing him. Kelson said, " You d—d scoundrel, what business have you here?' and ordered him out of the room. He refused to go till they were quiet. Saw his mother in the TOOM. Mr. King also came up, and his brothers William and Samuel, the first of whom was upon the stairs soon afterwards. This witness corroborated and substan ti illy confirmed the leading points which had been spoken to. Nothing new was elicited on re-examination. Hannah Leabourne, niece to the elder Robertson, and employed as chambermaid, carried up dinner to Mrs. Kelson, on the 2241 of Augur, when asked for the second time, and had frequently waited in the same way before. After the return of Kelson and Binns, saw James Ro bertson take up the supper, and. heard Kelson say, "D—n you, you have insulted the Ladies." Was on the stairs at the time he said so. James replied, a I have not insulted the Ladies ;" after which she heard a quick step across the floor, and then a great scuffle. James called out'" murder" twice, on which she gave the alarm, and hurried down again. Came up again, and the door being open, saw Kelson and another Gentleman fastening on her cousin's collar, and thrusting him against the wall. The other Gentleman stood in front, and she had no doubt of his being Mr. Prosser. James said, " Good GOD, will no one come to my assistance?" On cross examination, witness declined swearing that she never said it was not Mr. Prosser who assaulted her cousin. Several other witnesses were examined, but their evidence was merely corroborative of the preceding, nor did it in any way ma terially alter the general complexion of the case. The Jury, after deliberating for a few minutes, re turned a verdict of Godley against Messrs. Kelson and Binns, and of Acquittal for Mr. nosier. Sentence was deferred till Saturday morning, when the two former defendants were fined , in the sum of 201. each, and discharged. After the Chairman had pronounced judgment, Mr. Binns addressed khill COtlrt, and declared, in very ani mated terms, that hi had not used any part of the violent language hrwae:trhaved with uttering. Captain Kelson protested against the evidence which had been given, and pledged himself, in the most solemn manner, to prove, at the approaching Anises (by evidence which be would then have an opportunity of calling), that what had been said to his prejudice was totally unfounded.
