LA W INTELLIGENCE —Jan. 22. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN BE BITRROWES WILCOCKS ARTHUR SLEIGII. The bankrupt is described as a newspaper pro prietor This was the certificate of the Strand. meeting. Mr. Sargood opposed ; Mr. Norton supported. Major Walker, examined, deposed that in the be ginning of 1854 he noticed an advertisement in the Times. He applied to the reference given—" P. P., care of Mr. Steel, Spring-gardens." He was put in communication with the bankrupt, who told him that the advertisement referred to a first-class news paper. The bankrupt produced an estimate of which the following is a copy :—" Average weekly circu lation of British Army Despatch and Nautical Standard, as per stamp returns, 700 —producing 201. Bs. 4d. Average amount of a d ver ti s ements for ditto, 8/. Issued above the average number esti mated for British Army Despatch to sundry orders, last three months, 3,000 copies, 871." To this is affixed a statement :—" Weekly expenses : viz., printing, including offices, clerks, gas, &c., 101. 4d. ; paper, 2 /. 12s. 6d. ; 10s. ; stamps, 2 1 . 18 s. machinery, ll. ; sundries, 1/. Total expenses, 181. Os. lOd.; ag ainst 281. Bs. 4d. receipts, leaving a clear profit of 101 . 7s. 6d. per week." 800/. was mentioned as the purchase-money. Witness was put in connexion with Mr. Sandell, who acted as the bankrupt's agent. He was inclined to make the purchase. when he was told that he was too late. The following morning, however, Sandell drove up to his residence and said if he would give 9001. for the property, and him (Sandell) something for making the arrangement, the paper could be had. He agreed to give 9001. accordingly, and it was in consequence of the bankrupt's representations of the i valuable nature of the property that ha did so. On the 7th of February he gave the bankrupt the 900/., and the paper was duly transferred to him. Before completing the purchase he made some inquiry of the publisher, but was told by him that he could not give him any information without Colonel Sleigh's authority. He had no information beyond that which the bankrupt gave. The paper died a natural death in June, 1856. During the period the paper was in his possession there had never been anything but loss. Colonel Sleigh gave him a written undertaking to manage the paper for two months, and he had done so. He knew nothing of the newspaper business. The bankrupt told him that there was an advertise ment of Messrs. Isaac and Campbell's, which would be continued for twelve months certain. This was a valuable advertisement. Isaac and Campbell, however, on a fill being sent in refused to pay a single shilling, giving, as a reason, that the in sertion of the advertisement had never been ordered. His solicitor brought an action against the bankrupt for 501., the amount of these ad vertisements, and obtained a verdict with costa. He also brought au action, claiming 2,0001., part being the 9001. paid for. the paper, and the remain der losses incidental to the bankrupt's alleged frau dulent representations. It was on a judgment obtained on the latter action that he was now a creditor. The bankrupt, upon his bringing this action, commenced proceedings against him tor his literary services. He made a claim of 1501., but he afterwards abandoned the action and paid costs. The bankrupt also brought an action in the Wool wich County Court for 501., when he was non suited. In all these actions the bankrupt had been subjected to the payment of costs. He purchased the paper inFebruary, 1854, but he did not sus pect lentil March, 1856, that anything was wrong. He then brought this action. Re-examined by Mr. Norton—elle did not recol lect saying to Mr. Sandell, two months after the purchase, that he had been taken in, but he fre quently expressed himself disappointed. He did this not very long after the purchase. He had never stated to the bankrupt that the estimate was false before he brought the action. He had written a letter respecting the value of the paper, but this waa at Colonel Sleigh's dictation. He had never told any one that the paper was worth 5001. more than he had given for it. A letter was here pro duced as alleged to have been writ ten by the witness to the bankrupt in February, 1855, and setting forth that the writer would be willing to treat for the sale of the paper for 1,5004, and that a paper of established and increasing influence was not readily obtainable at so easy a price, but that under the pressure of time he did not object to m ike some sacrifice. An objection was taken that the document as signed by an Edinburgh official purported to be only a copy, the original being filed in the Scotch Sequestration Court. The Court held the objection valid, and The witness, in continuation of his re-examina tion, said the bankrupt suggested the price —viz., from 1,5001. to 2,oool.—and said that the paper was worth the money. He (witness) would, how ever, have been glad to get out of the paper at a loss, and he did not name any price. Another batch of letters produced were in his (Major Walker's) handwriting. The bankrupt did edit and manage the paper for two months as under taken. He had further frequently, and for a long period—about 18 months—written leading articles for the paper. He (witness) did not pay the bank rupt anything for all this. He remained the pro prietor of the British Army Despatch up to the time •f its death. Two or three advertisements had been inserted by witness in the Times with a view to sell the paper. The bankrupt, however, was the writer of these advertisements. He (Major Walker) never stated to any one that an established paper of real influence and position was not readily obtainable for 1, 500/. This was his (Major Walker's) , first and last essay in the management of a news paper. • Mr. Yonge examined, deposed that he is a solicitor in • the Strand, and that he had acted for Major Walker. His evidence went princ;pally to confirm that of Major Walker—that upon suing the bankrupt for 2,0001. the bankrupt, on the case being called on, proposed an ar rangement, and consented to a verdict of 5001., to be turned into a judgment of 9001. if the 5001. were not paid within a given time ; that instead of paying the amount the bankrupt had petitioned this Court, under the private arrangement clause, and that in the end hie client had only received from the bankrupt 2501., and which, if they were all fully paid, would not more than suffice to pay his client's costs in the matter. The bankrupt, he had been informed, was arrested on the judgment of his client, but he was not lodged in custody, the bankrupt having on 16th Jan. presented a petition to this Court for private arrangement and obtained its protection. The bankrupt subsequently presented a petition in the Sc)tch Sequestration Court, in which he was described as a merchant of Edinburgh. Ile (Mr. Tongs) thereupon presented a petition on behalf of • Major Walker for the recal of the sequestration, and it was recalled. The Bankrupt, examined by Mr. Sargood, deposed that his first bankruptcy was in 1850, as a newspaper proprietor. He had previously been a lieutenant in the army. He sold out as lieutenant, and ha? not been in the regular service since. le received a second-class certificate under his first bankruptcy. He was bankrupt on that occasion as the proprietor of the British. Army Despatch=the same paper that he sublequently repur chased and sold to Major Watker. It was aboct four or five months after his repurcha.e of the paper that he sold it to Major Walker. AL er receiving his certificate he remained about six months in Llndon. During those . six months he might have gained his living as Mr. Sargood gained his. Ha Lad rola-ions ; they assisted him. He was a deputy-chairman of a railway company, but ho gained nothing by that. On the contrary, it - entailed upon him some losses. lie was also engaged in forming a military college in North America. During the six months he daresay he earned something. He appealed to the Court to protect him from the insolence of counsel. ; - The Commissioner said he did not consider it material • what the bankrupt was doing during the six months. • • Faxamination continued—During the six months he __ received, Who did not earn, about 1,0001. Perhaps he •-e, i i Aid aot_earrt aaything. • Mr. Sargood called attention to some statements on a former occasion. Bankrupt—Mr. Sargood is misstating things. He does not know wi:at h e i s talking about. - The Cominiss'oner (appeased to -m r. ii.,,, r ton) said •by be did nod see any practical good that could arise from - the objectionable statem=nt or question, - Binarupt's examination continued—On returning from abroad early in 1853 be again became tee :"-tbe British, Army Despatch. lie p urc h ased it from fi r. of .L -Mortimer for 80/. About four months after this pe r . • • chase he sold it in conjunction with the Noutzca/ Stan - . dard for 9001. He bad not the Nautical Standard in et, posessiun at the tirnA ti.at be inserte: l in the Ti mes t h e • • advertisement of the British Ar my Despatch, but he h a d a verbal although not binding contract that be might become itspurchaser fcr the sun of 100/.

OV. in the pound. 1:)e 11 ' . itisk Army Despatch and the Nautical Standard ,v , l.s pro posed to be putli-h,r_ii c>r joint v—t'i Le incorporated. The pape rs for , which 80/ aid 1001. oars the pr, :es were the two Paper. bo !ell fur 900/. When I.tilej -, r Walker brought his action for 501 , the amount of the adverb e • ments, he thought it a very claim, uilustifiable and in :pitons and that as M4,r Welker attackee, him he would have a shy at him in retnra—and rig ht t)o _ Mr. Sargood—True mittary tactics. (I.: hter ) The witness hell proceeded tc, state t a h u a g t, finding . Major Valker was acting unhandsomely to him, be felt that' he was justified in malting claimingforhave made his services. Bat for the demand of 501. he would made no claim - for his services. Mr. Sargood—That wai very kind of you. The Bankrupt—lt was. Examination continued—Since he presented his pe i ti r tion to this Court for private arrangement he had paid 3,000/. This applied to his connexion with the Dui/its, 2eiegraph, of which he was at one time the sole pro. prietor. He sold his half share in tht paper to Mr. Joseph Moses Levi Li. '2,0001. He might have after- wards sworn that the half share was worth only 5001. ' It was a mere matter of estimate from time to time. • Mr. Sargood—ls 2501. all that was ever repaid to Major Walker of the 9001. I The Bankrupt—lt was. I don't think he ever had a claim for 900 pennies. Examination continued—Ho went to Paris about April, 1857. From thence he went right away to Scot land—to the north. Mr. Sargoed—lt was there the petition was presented to the Scotch Sequestration Court by the gentleman whose name it is somewhat difficult to pronounce—Mr. Bohte. The Bankrupt—The name is one that admits of a fanny pronunciation. We will agree about that. Mr. Bohte was the petitioning creditor in the Scotch Court. The bankrupt proceeded to state that the petitioning credi tor's claim of 2081. consisted of a renewed debt. He thought 501. was money lent, and that another 801. was for clothes, but he could not say how the other portion of the 2081. was made up. A bill was given to Bohte in 1857, and he, Col. Sleigh, was several times backwards and forwards between Edinburgh and London—oh yes. Mr. Sargood observed that the matter was of a more serious character than the bankrupt appeared to imagine. The Bankrupt —You are very kind ; I must decline to answer more precisely when I gave the bill. The Commissioner—But you must answer. The Bankrupt—Then I will. The bankrupt proceeded to state that he sent the bill in a letter, but that he could not recollect, the date of its transmission. In further examination, the bankrupt stated that his property qualification to. serve as a member of Parlia ment had been returned to its owner immediately after the election ; and that although his accounts, as now before the Court, commenced with a deficiency of 5231., the amount was owing to relations. It was stated in hir accounts that all the property he had was in the form of 31. 18s. 3d. at the London and Westminster Bank, but this did not include his interest in the Daily Telegraph. Re-examined by Mr. Norton, the bankrupt said Major Walker, being in expectation of receiving a Government appointment, had wished to sell the paper, and that it was a gross falsehood on the Major's part to say that he had ever expressed dissatisfaction about the paper. On the contrary, he had written the letter he held in his hand, dated February, 1855, describing the paper as a valuable property and a sacrifice at 1,5001. Mr. Sargood again urged that the document could not be received in evidence. The Bankrupt—You are very much afraid of this letter. The bankrupt then proceeded to state that the estimate •f which complaint had ,been made included the two papers, and that by means of their incorporation it was fully believed that the profit of 101. per week might be realised. This positiotr of things bad, he alleged, been represented to Major Walker, at the time. During 18 months Major Walker never complained. On the con trary,;he was throughout that period constantly addressing him, as per letters handed to the Court, as "My dear Colonel," "Yours very sincerely," &c. He (bankrupt) had freely contributed leading articles during the 18 months. In one letter Major Walker. spoke of its not being fair to press in this respect too much on the willing horse. Again, he wrote that the last number of the De. spatch, to which he bad not contributed, was a very shabby one. Again he hoped to have a leader on the Cri mean courts-martial, and jwrote that the Colonel's last leader was first-rate. The last was a very good number —that was his opinion—what said he (the Colonel) ? He had got another good subject for the Colonel to discourse upon, &c. The witness proceeded to urge that be bad compromised the actions for the sake of peace and avoid ing litigation, contrary to the advice of his counsel, upon their intimating that there might be a doubt of a verdict in his favour, and that his error was in consenting to a compromise, and not in having been guilty of a misre. presentation to Major Walker. After addresses to the Court, in the course of which Mr. Sargood characterised the British Army Despatch as having, been from first to last that which its initials im plied—a B. A. D., bad affair—and the step which the bankrupt had taken in going to the Scotch Sequestration Court as one to be deprecated. His Honour gave judgment. He said the bankrupt, by suffering judgment to go against him, had to a great extent admitted the troth of the allegation of false and fraudulent representation. The judgment having been given, his subsequent proceedings appeared to have been taken with a view to defeating Major Walker's just claims. Ha had been very blameable in attempting to get threugh his difficulties by applying to the Scotch court, the whole of his debts, to the amount of between 4,0001. and 5,0001., having been incurred in this country. The representations with respect to the transaction of the British Army Dispatch looked very much like those which the act meant by the words " false and fraudulent pretences." He doubted very much whether the Court ought not to refuse the certificate altogether ; but under all the circumstances he thought it his duty to take the more lenient course of suspending the certificate, which when issued must be of the third class, two years. After the lapse of three weeks, to allow an opportunity of appeal, protection would be withheld for six months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—,Tan. 22. GUILDHALL.—WiIIiam Denton Flowerdew was brought up before Mr. Alderman Hale, charged with uttering a forged order for the deli very of goods, with intent to defraud Messrs. Hitch cock and Co., St. Paul's-churchyard. Mr. Camp, a warehouseman in the employ of Messrs. Hitchcock and Co , said,—l have known the prisoner as being in the employ of Mr. Nugent, of Croydon. I produce an order for thirty yards of silk, which I received from the prisoner, and he asked me to attend to it for Messrs. Aria and Son, drapers, of Croydon, by whom it purported to be signed. This was on the 3d of December last. I selected a piece of black silk of 39i yards, value 6/. 3. 3d., which was packed with other goods pre viously ordered by Messrs. Aris and Son, and directed to them. John Davis said—l am a packer for Messrs. Hitchcock and Co. I packed the parcel containing the silk, and directed it to Messrs. Aris and Son, at Croydon. James Boucher said—l am a porter at the Lon don and Brighton Railway. On the 3d of Decem ber last, a person resembling the prisoner culled, and sail a parcel addressed to Messrs. Aris and Son would arrive ; but as Mr. Aris would not go down that night, the parcel was to be detained, and h• would take it down with him in ttie morning. The parcel arrived during the evening, and I gave direc..ions for it to be detained. Emanuel Steers said—l am a porter at the London and Brighton Railway. When I went on duty on the morning of Dec. 4, I found a parcel addressed to Messrs. Aris and Son, with a memorandum upon it directing that it should be given up to Mr. Aris on application. About a quarter to 8 o'clock the same morning, a man very like the prisoner called for the parcel, and it was given up to him. I be lieve the prisoner is the same man. Mr. Wm. Aris said—l am a draper at Croydon. I knew the prisoner when he was in Mr. Messent's employ. The order produced is not signed by me or by any one in my establishment. I gave no authority to any one to sign this order. John Heapy said—l am an assistant to Mr. Mar son of Greenwich, pawnb ro k er . I p ro d uce 2.4- yards of black silk pawned at our shop on 4th Dec. last, by the prisoner, in the name of Wm. Smith, for 30s. Alfred Jones, assistant to Mr. Hastings, of Wap ping -wall, pawnbroker, said—l produce 25 yards of black silk pledged at our shop on 4th Dec. last, for 11., in the name of William Brown. Mr. Camp said—The two portions of silk pro duced appear to have been cut from the same piece. Mr. Chas. Messent said—l am a hosier at Croy don. The prisoner wasEu my employ for about 15 months, and absconded from my service on the sth Nov. last. I know his handwriting, and have often seen him write. The ord er p ro d uce d i s i n th e hand writing of the prisoner. Alderman Hale—Have you missed anything since he left ? Mr. Messent—Oh, yes, sir, a great many things. Inspector Carpenter said if the prisoner were re manded for a week he should be prepared with ad ditional evidence with regard to other charges, and he would then have a person in attendance from Messrs. Hitchcock and Co.'s, who would be able to identify the silk produced. Alderman Hale said Inspector Carpenter had got the case up in a most creditable manner, and re manded the prisoner for further inquiry. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—James Hill, 25, Brewer-street, Pimlico, with 1201. in Bank notes in his possession ; Win. West, house decorator, 5, New Compton-street, with 5/. 35.; Abraham Good man, better known as Goodey Levy, 22, Frith street, with 11/. ; Henry Clarke, poulterer, 4, Mar ket-street, 11.; Robert Coombe, batting-man, 41, Princes-street, 291.; Morris Jam's, civil engineer, 28, Coventry-street, no money ; Henry Allen, fur niture de filer, 41, Poland-st., no money : John 1:101me9, 23, Lisle-st., betting man, 1/. ; Hy.

The majority of the defendant s are well known at the court as gamblers. Iu addition to the table covers used for gaining purposes, the police duced a small box wh i ch contained two pairs of . fraudulent dice used for the purpose of cheati ng players who stake their money at the hazard -table. The dice to outward appearance were genuine dice, having the regular stamp for duty on there, and the maker's name, but when examined they were found to be supplied with •double.high numbers one set, and double low numbers the other set, so that they could be used to produce any result desired by the sharper. Mr. Sleigh attended for the defendants. Mr. Superintendent Hannant produced the Com missioner's warrant to enter the house No. 28, Co ventry-street, and stated that, accompanied by In spector Lester, C division, and several constables, he went that morning to the house and proceeded upstairs to a room on the first floor, where he found all the defendants, except Nathan and Abethol. He told all the parties that they must consider themselves in custody for being found in a com mon gaming-house. The defendants were then searched by Inspector Lester and handed over to the constables to be taken to the station-house. The aggregate sum of money found on the defendants was about 3001. After the defendants were removed he examined the room and found two cloths cover ing a table, which he produced. Ona chiffonniere he found a backgammon board with men, boxes and dice. On a small table he found a second back gammon board with dice and boxes. Over the large table was fixed four large gas-lights. Thera was another room, which was styled a coffee-room, but not the slightest sign of any business was visible. Heard Mrs. Nathan say she was landlady of the house, that she had been so since 1856, that she had lost money, and that she wished she had never seen the place. The defendant Abethol, who came in while the police were in possession, requested him to notice that he had entered the house since the police were there. Cross-examined—The presence of the police caused some confusion among the persons in the rooms. Some of the persons were smoking cigars. Inspector Lester accompanied the superintendent to the house. In the passage was a glazed folding door, after passing which he went upstairs and found the defendants, who were taken into custody as described. One of the defendants, Coombs, ap pearedjto be very fidgetty, and when the room was afterwards examined, beneath the carpet, just where he had been sitting, was found a small box con taining two pairs of false dice. On the sofa was a dice-box, 9S if thrown there carelessly. Had seen Mrs. Nathan on several occasions in the house. She said she was landlady. On the road to the sta tion-house she asked him if he had found any gam bling implements. He replied he had found dice. She said she had never seen any gaming except it was for coffee, a tripe supper, and that sort of thing. There were no signs of a coffee business going on in the house. There were four empty cups in the room. With respect to the defendant Abethol, he had seen him in the house frequently. The defen dants Abraham Goodman, Robert Coombs, Henry Johnson (otherwise Capt. Johnson), W. Hemmings, John Wells, and Morris Abethol, had been at that court before, charged with being found in a com mon gaming-house. Mr. Sleigh contended that the case was not suffi ciently brought home to the defendants. There was no proof against Abethol. Inspector Lester said. Abethol was known for years as a,frequenter of gaming -houses, and was, from his venerable and respectable appearance, looked upon as a decoy. Superintendent Hannant said three of the defen dants at first gave wrong names. He hoped the magistrate would remind them by so doing they incurred a heavy penalty, which, however, it was not intended to press for on the present occasion. Mr. Bingham said the evidence satisfied him the house in question was used as a common gaming house, and that the backgammon boarls were only there as a blind. He was sorry to find that the offence had occurred under the seine roof, where One of the defendants [(Levy) was on a former oc casion, when he was_bronght before him and fined 501. for keeping a gaming room. It was clear that mitigated penalties had not produced any effect ; he should therefore increase the penalty to 1001., with an intimation that this amount should, in case of need, be augmented to the full penalty of 5001., or 12 months' imprisonment without fine. As five of the defendants had been at that court before, he must consider that a sufficient warning, and would inflict on each a fine of 51. The others would be discharged. It appeared that the discovery of the false dice was mainly due to Police-constable Silverton, A Division, who saw Coombs put something under the carpet, and spoke to him not to hide anything away. Levy, who was fined 501. for gaming in the same house, appealed against the decision, bat it was confirmed last Saturday. Mr. Bingham stated that if parties gave false names he would, in future, inflict the fine of 501., as authorised by law. MARYLEBONE.—A woman between 50 and 60, named Aune Southgate, applied for assistance, as she was in very great distress. The statement made by her was to the effect that her late husband was a soldier in the 43d Regiment, and that he had fought in numerous battles. for which he had a medal with ten clasps attached thereto, and upon which were inscribed Busaco, Fuentes d'Onore, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, and Toulouse ; he was at the battle of Waterloo, and in the course of his career as a soldier, was several times wounded. At the peace he obtained his discharge, but as he ha.l only been in the army nine years and ten months he was not entitled to a pension. He died at his lodgings, No. 3, Adam-street East, Marylebone, and she (applicant) was at the present period in the greatest distress imaginable, owing to her hus band not having served long enough to acquire what would have sufficed to place her beyond the reach of want. For a long while prior to his death he had been suffering from a stricture, a diseased heart, and inflammation of the kidneys. During his illness, which was of a most painful and acute nature, she had ben compelled to part with almost every article of furniture, trifling in amount as it was, which she possessed. Mr. Broughton perused some documents, which placed beyond the shadow of a doubt that the widow was an object worthy of consideration. Mr. Frampton, the chief usher, was directed to give her 55., and a ticket for coals and bread. THAMES.—John Davis, master of the ship Washington, from Bombay, was charged with assaulting Jas. Macdonald, a seaman. Mr. Young appeared for the prosecution, Mr. smith for the defendant. The complainant said he had been imprisoned at Bombay for disobedience. On his being liberated and coining to his ship, the captain ordered him to be confined in a small cabin. The captain twisted one of his arms, which were ironed, and hurt him. When he roared out the captain put an iron bolt iu his mouth to gag him, and kept it there for three or four minutes, so that it cut his lips and mouth, and he was in great pain for days. Mr. Smith said there had been lately a rage for preferring charges against masters of ships, and in stanced one case in which the public mind had been inflamed against a captain who was committed front that court and acquitted. Mr. Young—Ashort time before that a captain was committed fi om that court for cruelty to a boy and found guilty, and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment. Mr. Selfe did not see the relevancy of the re marks made by Mr. Smith. He knew nothing about the rage for making charges of this sort, or the public mind being inflamed. He cared for neither. He would do his duty fearlessly, impar tially, and he hoped mercifully. He had nothing to do with public opinion, or the alleged fondness for preferring these charges. Mr. Smith utterly disclaimed being personal to the worthy magistrate. _ _ _ Mr. Selle—The remarks are either irielevaut or personal. Mr. Smith then called Nathan Gilhuson, the chief mate of the ship, bat who originally shipped as second mate, and he said three man imprisoned at Bombay for refusal of duty were brought on board by the police. They refusei to work, and were put in a room in front of the poop-deck. The complainant was one of them. They made a noise and annoyed the ladies and gentlemen, passengers on board. Lieut. Hawke, transport-agent on board, said the men ought to be gagged. They were brought out of the cabin, and said they would not turn to, and would see the captain - first. Two were taken below. The complainant made a good deal of noise, and put an iron bolt about an inch in thickness in his mouth. The seaman kept it in his mouth for several _minutes, but the captain did not touch it, and used no violence towards the seaman. The seaman made no complaint of his aim or wrist. On the following day, two of the men re turned to their duty, and the complainant alsore turned to his duty subsequently. The complainant did say his mouth was sore. Macdonald said if the case was postponed, six of the crew would confirm his statement, and prove the mate was telling falsehoods. Mr. Smith said a postponement would do his client no good, and wished for a decision. Mr. Selfe could not help expressing his regret that anything was said of a rage in the public mind to prefer the , e charges. He should pass it by. He was not conscious of encouraging it. When a sailor made out a case against his captain, or a captain made out a case against a sailor, he decided it to the best of his ability, caring neither for one party nor the other. He was not over squeamish, but he could not help feeling there was much unnece4.dry cruelty exercised towards the complainant, tnd such a state of things was enough to throw discredit on the Britishmerchant service. The mate, Gil huson, came to tha court as a partisan, and acted as one thro u gbout interrupting the witness Mac donald and making use of gesticulations quite un becoixting• lie did not believe Gilhuson when he said the seaman kept the iron bolt in his month three or four minutes and no one touched it. Such a thing was improbable. The seaman was wrong in refusing to do his work, and wrong in the lan gua,ge he used, but the captain was not justified in the cruelty he had used. In the British mercantile navy cruelty and tyranny were the exception, not the rule, and he did not wish our service to become like the American and other foreign marine ser vices where seamen were so often treated with gross cruelty. He fined the defendant 51., and said he might appeal against that decision if he pleased. The fine was paid. From the London Gazette of Last Night. FOREIGN-OFFICE, JAN. 12.
