THE POLICE COURTS.
MANSION-HOUSE.
W. Liostel George Thompson, of No. 1, Riches-court,
Lime-street, appeared to answer the complains of George
Walton, George Squire, Thomas Pritchard, James Rowe,
and others, in consequence of the delay of a vessel in which
he had castrated they should sail fur Port Phillip, on the
10th of July.
It aniseed that the vessel, in which it had been united
f the mieplahmats should sail, was, by some circumstance,
OWN whisk nobody seemed to have any control, laid aside,
srd that the ship called the City of Lincoln, now at Liver-
. peel, was appointed as • aubetitute, and • great member of
&appointments as to the time of her departure had OC-
aired, to the great chagrin and expense of the emigrants,
i who had paid the deposits.
p The Lord Mayor and Alderman Finnis presided upon the
occasion, and a number of emigrants, who were interested
p in the matter, crowded the justisereem.
Mr. Ballantine said it was not to be diem that the
. emigrants had been subjected to us delay, and
were therefore entitled to remuneration; and his client,
i who entirely coincided in the opinion delivered apes the
I former occasion as to the responsibility of en scent, was
williag to make a proper recompense for the inconvenience
whisk they had suffered. He of bound to state that his
client had been a severe sufferer by the event which caused
• that delay, as he had paid the large sem of 1,8001. to the
parties by whom he had been employed to procure amen-
I gore, being the amount of the passage-money he had re-
ceived ; end thoee parties had failed, leaving him answer-
able for the whole amount. It was, however, satisfactory
to his to state that the vessel was now in the sands of sot-
, vent persons, and that she would be ready to sail on Mon-
day neat, sr that all of those who had engaged to go, if
they chase to abide by their engagement, might take their
berths, Mitetber with a remuneration of 61. to each althea
for the delay, and those who did not wish to go might re-
stive their passage-money beck at CISIMIami 61. • bead for
the Measseusence they bad sustained. The learned counsel
added that his client would have to pay all the money out
of hie own pocket.
t The Lord Mayor asked how many persons were inte-
rested in thesailing of the particular ship ?
Mr. Ballantine said he understood from his chest that
there were 125 passengers for whom Mr. Tacoma was re-
sponsible, and that mast of the number were on beard the
Teasel at Liverpool.
A gentleman of the Custom-home., who knew as emi-
grant
and family who were on board, described the eadi-
Son of three on board as disagreeable in the esteems, in
coneespiena of an attack made by the croditege of the
former owner for the papaw of getting her into their poo-
imeles.
The defendant assured the magistrate that all the diflieul-
Om bad been completely removed, and that if the emigrante
in Lenity were to go to Liverpool they would be at once
Tooktved, get the recompense of 61. a had for their trouble
and tom of time, and mil, at any rate, on Tuesday for their
destine kw.
The Wed Mayer and Alderman Finals made the mat

ormipwimats to accept the offer made by the defendant to
mil is the ship,. whist' so doubt was ready ; and, for the
