& Portfmauth, Jan. 30, 1801,
Many of the veffJs and cargoes that have
been condemned in Halifax, were so con
demned for the fake of thefas alone ! If
'a prize is brought in, everv one concerned
pro. and con. ace intereffed in having it
condemned, as they are benefited more or
less by it.
I witnessed a recent inftahce of this na
ture : The brig Austria, of this p f rt, bound
to Havanna ; finding themselves likely to be
foiled in every fort of proof, they adopted
the expedient of fending the Bell-man (as I
was told) round the town, to cry " JKhet
kens the owner of the fufra (mentioning
his name) — Ifba k^ns, Uc 13c." — The
Bell-man, vociferating in this manner, till
he was met by an adventurer that had just
arrived from Giafgow—he said he ken'd
one of that name io years ago ; and upon
the evidence of this simpleton, the brig and
the most of her cargo Were condn^ o d.
The captors ate aware, that upon an ap
peal, the property thus infqcitoufly con
demned, must be ultimately restored. But
then the nfe of in for three or four years to
fupport^ their credit and (peculate with, is
what thev in particular aim at. The cor
ru, Jud'g s, as well as the petty fogging
.hord voho fffflfce in that infamous Court,
tire parMcidh'rfy iritefrefied for the large fees
which they illegally txdilt. Thh Governor

site, w^lcfi Im&A to explain in a future

From the republican Watchtower.
„TO THE EDITOR.
SIR,—. e
During, the short period I remained at
Halifax, Npya-Scotia, curiosity led me to
attend the Court of Admiralty, or, as it is
called, " The Court of infarfy ; and, I be+
lieve the wretched petty-toggers who prac
tice in it, are not even so barefaced as to
give any other appellations The firft day
I attended there I was aftonilhed—nothing
like a learned argument was heard— but,
however; that was well fupplieu by a co
pious degree of eloquence in the Bidingf
gate stile, of the most abusive nature.
This fort of pleading was so novel to me,
that I could not refill the temptation of re
cording a sentence of what was vomited
from the mouth of the learned Attorney.
General : " And Ihall British renegadoes,
vagabonds of the loweff class, Jacobinical
imps, devoid of every affection to their na
tive country, presume to carry on commerce
with any power at war with Great Bri
tain 1 These rascals must know that I
would be wanting,in my duty, if I did not
condemn their property indiscriminately."
And I, Mr. Editor, would be wanting
in my duty, if I did not communicate to
the public the foul-mouth'd Attorney Gen
eral's pleading. I perceived it was alto
gether a mock-trial; they got quibbling a
bout the word utoffit for a long time, and
at length the learned advocafts agreed that a
Dictionary should be called to their # aid,,
and although the definition was explicit e
nough in favour of the claimants, yet the
Judge (who was some time ago impeached
for corruption) condemned the veflel and
cargo, without the least Ihadovy of juflic,
I took some pains to enquire intothe Orange
conduct of the virtuous Judze —-and after
some enquiry, I found His Honour could
turn black lOhite. Or white black, jull as it
suited his interest,
