The Dereodant, Henry Moore, at the time of the assault in question, was Captain of the ship Furtrae, (late a Spa.ii.h frigate, the St. captured het ear)" a freighted vessel, which bra been sent from this country, with convicts, to Botany Bay, and having proceeded from thence to Bengal, was on tier homeward voyage, and had se veral pss-engers on board. The Platatiff had been alarentfrens Isle Weise eenvenrarearty-ferty yews, and tieing desirous once more to visit it, he took his passage on board this ship, foe which he not oily paid 3000 neva rupees (about 4001. sterling), far half a cabin, (tot also took on board provisions to the amount of 1000 rttpees. Thc•ii sums, as %veil as entry other consideration. retitled him to the lw.t treatment. The ship sided limn Calcutta about the 6th of April, 1407, and the Captain's coarse and unpleasant conduct soon became covorable to the passengers, several of whom were ladies. No particular hostility had, however, ma nifested itself, nor had ally altercation taken place on hoard to the lath of June. when the assault was committed on Nfr. Paul. Indeed, this temper and behaviour of ill.. I'aul, during the voyage, were of such a nature as to reader him esteemed and re spected by all his fellow passengers and the crew, all of whom would, most willingly., testify these facts; and it was really impossible to account for the Captain's seemingly particular malice to Mr. Paul, at nice so unbecoming a man, a eo:umantler, and a gentleman. Upon the isth of June, between five and six o'clock in the eveuiag,- offer the company had retired from dine uer, at the Captain's table, where sobriety was al ways observed, the Defendant went to the quarter deck, or poop, and having previously ordered a oar peuter to nail up a btiard—he amused himself by firing at a living fowl suspended to it, in there seuce of several of the gaaseligers, amorist *hoot was the Plaintiff. The Dere:el-int awned to a Mr. Clarke Sivrac, fifth mate of the Fortner, " that it was necessary he (the Defendant) shonld .get practice. as he might hove • something to do with these jockies (meanies the Tneengers around him) at St. Helena, and that he should not wish fin better sport than to s it u p on the guns, drink a treif e, win and exchange s h o t s limn them Remits deck." During this time, neither Mr. Paul, nor arty other pers o n s p o k e to the Defenit.suat, net in any manner whatever Kaye him the least offence. lie. however, them addressing himself to the Plain tiff, said, " By 0--d, I should like to take yon first, Mr. Paul r and immediately after put a pistol into Mr. raul's hand, and ordered his ser vant to bring up wine. Mr. Paul very civilly asked hiut. " If lie was in canard, and meant to chal lenge him ?"—To that he replied, Certainly, by 6—.1." Mr. Paul then requested to see Mr. a fel'ovi-passener, who was then below, and who, on being stilt for, as • friend of Mr. Paul, observed to the Llefendent, that that was a very improper place to fight in, and advised the Plaintiff n.* to do it them Upon this the Defendant went tip to tile Plaintiff in a great passion. and holding his pistol in a menacing wanner to the Plaintiff '• face, said, " you, I would not tight with each a black guard *MI todrel. It would be an insult to any iv:Mc-man to tight with such a d—d old black guard." Mr. Nut then asked the Captain, who it was he called a blackguard scoundrel? To which the latter directly answered, o \llly, you, d—o Non." Mr. Paul, being irritated at this gross lan- F‘Li.;e, retorted the same terns nron the Defend cit. elm immediately threw down 'he pistol which he held, ail, running at Mr. Paul, (who is sixty years of age, and twenty Years older than the Defendant ' ) seized him by the cellar, and atraek him two or three violent blows with his is ou the see. The consequences of this were, a Muck eye, and his face otherwise disfigured. The Defendant still. however, thiratir.g for further re. was attempting to repeat his Mows. when two of the gentlemen present, Mr. Gott and Mr. Wdten, (the tint moto,) interposed, sod prevridFd hint. Mr. Gott, as a friend, advised Mr. Paatheo to suit the poojl, and go on the wairdeck, which Mr. P. unmeiliately did, and continued walking there. The Defendant then addressing himself to Mr. Killen, notwithstanding the Plaintiff's peaceable departure, ried out, .‘ Kick him down, kicl the old b.—r (lowa," and leaning over the breast rail of the poop, is a loud and uhiisive strain, and in the hearing of all on deck, exclaimed, D—u your eyes, you old scoundrel, you are nothing but a blackguard Frenchman, a thief, a vagabond, and a swindler ; you were kicked out of Calcutta for swindling, and I can prove it all, d—n you. Had I not a ship alongside of us, and you would not fight, , 43u blackguard ? I'll shoot you in your cabin, 'if you say a word—l'll prevent you going ashore till you are in England, and then you elm& be sent to the Alien Office." To this shameful language the Plaintiff marlt no answer whatever. The Defendant, however, unsatisfied with the in jury be had done Mr. Paul, o►dered him to be taken into the custody of two ermine's. The Plain tiff was accordingly confined to his oven cabin, with centinels placed over him with cutlasses, and thus continued in confinement from seven o'clock in the ecerriog till eight o'clock the next morning, when he was liberated. Now it %as for this off nee (continued the Learned Counsel) that they were called upon to give damages to the Plaintiff. It was florae which he had by no means exaggerated ; for it would appear that there was much more rea son for him to desire them to be moderate. than to give excessive damages. He asked nothing out of the ordinary way, but merely a reparation to a gen tleman of Mr. Paul's respectability, who had been struck, ahusedi, disgraced, and imprisoned, on board a ship,. witlioat having given the smallest provocation. He ctrecluded with cautionin. , them egtmet beirg swayed by any assertions tha t be made by the Couosekon the opposite aide, un less substantiated by evidence. They were to at tend to the facts only is they appeared upon proof; and he bad no Joubt of substantiating his case to the utmost extent, and that they would give their judgment accordingly. In support of the above statement, Mr. Berveugh called as witnesses Mr. John Wed derby, a panels ger OA board . the Fortune ; William Augustus Cott, Esq. also a passenger ; and Mr. John WU len, first mate of the said vessel. It is only .neers sary to state, that the testimony of all these wit nesses went not only to substantiate the facts, but even to aggnree the gross in;syotidoct and unpro voked aggression of the Defenduta, beyond the narrative given by the Plaintiff a Counsel. Mr. TWAY then addressed the Jury as Conned for the Defendant. He began by stating that it was impossible to attempt a total justification of bis Client's conduct, he hawing already allowed tidgment to go by default, thy acknowledging sensibtlity of the offence he had committed. He was, however, instructed to rapreas Captain Moore's *arrest foe what hadhafipmecLAßer dinutr, when shooting at a mark, the I ;sintitfrether incau tiously came up to him, and entered into a conver sation, which occasioned some altercation to take place, and the Plaihuti was the first person who spoke of challenging. One circumstance, he observed, which tended to she.* that the Defeutiant did not mean to challenge the Plaintiff was, that the pistol be, the Defendant, pnt into his, the Plaintiff's hamls, was found, upon subsequent examination, not to be loaded. Although he could not justify the Defendant's conduct in strik ing the Plairitut with a pistol, dud putting sentinels over him, he could venture to say, that the De fendant was not originally serious in mea.iiig by his expressions to oaie an insult. The subsequent coutinement had been intended to prevent fur ther mischief from ensuing during the remainder of the voyage, and the fact was, that the Defend ant had conducted himself peaceably during the whole of that subsequent pennd.—lt was evideut that the Plaintiff had suffered no material injury of a durable nature, as they now saw him before them without a black eye, or a dis coloured face. The question then was, what was the real amount of the injury sustained by the Plaintiff? They were not to judge of criminal ewe, nor to ascertain, by their verdict, whether the Captain bad trarisgretcei the rules of proviso", but they were merely to judge of an insult said to have been offered by him, after dinner, when it might be supposed he was heated by wine. Upon the whole, it seemed to have ort.,.4nated in perfect good humour, and to make them the more con vinced of this, it was only necessary for hint to add, that the Captain was an Itishmen, and, therefore, ho serer good-humoured be might be at the cant on cement of the cowersation, he would naturally bee nue of a warm and irritable temper, wben pro voked by any expression which he might deem in salting duriog intoxication. He was not wishing to make arty national reflections or marked allu sions to particular people, but he should put it to them, whether it was not ustw ally to be rearmed. that en Irish Captain would be fond of his bottle? Mr. Teddy then enlarged, at considerable length, upon the circumstance of the Defendant having, both on board ship, and since their return to Eng land, offered to make a suitable apology to Plaintiff, which had been refused. This, he ar gued, ought to have some effect upon thlir minds, in alleviating his misconduct, and in lessening the iriainues of damage% In support of the fact, that an apology had been offered by the Defendant, two days after the assault and false imprisonment, which the Plaintiff had re fused to accept. the Counsel adduced the evidence of Captain Joseph •Fletcher, of the Cowpony's ser vice, who had been commissioned by the Defend ant to make that apology. Mr. George Wood. another witness, deposed as to his havin_g also been sent by the Captain to wait upon Mr. Paul of the to offer an apology. since the commencement the action. No witness, howeve.-, was ealed to prove the intoxication of the Defewlaut, but ea the con trary, it appeared from the preceding testimony on behalf of the Plaintiff, that the company, shout fourteen in number. who dined together that day. did aot exceed thwir erns) allowance, having only. drank about font or five bottles of wine. • Mr.Buitaovon. in his reply, observed, that none of the circumstances he had stated were by any means contradicted by the evidence adduced fur the Defendant. That an apology !tan becu offered, was a fact which he should not attempt to dis prove : but he should ask them what apology could prove a sufficient atonement, by a Capt.an of a vessel, for such an unprovoked and unjustifiuhle attack upon, and degradation and confinecuent of. a passenger, who had every title to claim a wattle man-like conduct,and the inilaest usage ? to the allegation of the Detkialsot's beitig ii,toxtratti, a fact totally without foundation upo n the evid e nce ' before them, that surely tuuld not, in their minds, prove a justification, or even a palliation of the Captain's misconduct. The circumstance which the lAarned'Coutisel for the Defendant had touched upon with so mach ingenuity. as to Cap tain Moore having no actual intention of offering a challenge to the Plaintiti. from the fact of the pis. tol which the Defendant gave to him not .being loaded, he rather thought had a contrary tendency, and indeed might Ise deemed not only an estraor. divary, but a suspicious circumstance. With these observations he should leave the (re in their baud., satisfied that they, by their verdict, would make the Defendant pee inch a sum out of his pocket,as would put the Plaintiff straight with him• self and with the world, by a contradiction of those malevolent and groundless aspersions which had been so unjustly thrown out against his character. J. BiltellALL, Esq. then summed up the evi dence with great impartiality and tint* elm, and oc casionally animadverted upon particular parts of it. He observed, that the circumstance of an heing offered, us it could tact be a Isar to the action, count not operate as a reason for no damages being inflicted. If it were otherwise, it might lead a person to believe, that he might oiler unprovoked injarics with impunity. The Jury were then left u short while in deli beration, and retanied a verdict fur the Plaintiff-- Damages .C2OO. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF RING', BUNCH—F-4. 13.
