DISTURBANCES ON BOARD AN EMIGRANT

SHIP.

Toe Calcutta, 700 tons, belonging to Mews. Fox,
Saws. sad Co., of Plymouth, which left Londe. tut west
with a number of paupers from the parish of St. Martin for
Australia, arrived in the Sound this day week; and oa Mon-
day last oae of the paupers, named Adam Young, made
a complaiat t. the Plymouth bench of magistrates agaiast
the muter of the ship.
Mr. Phillips kthe magistrate's clerk) asked Young if he
were the same man who was given into custody by the cap-
tain on Saturday ?
Young mid h. was the lame man ; to was given
into custody for something ho knew nothing of. He
merely went to the inputs and asked his permission
to go ashore, as which he said that as moos as be got
alt shore he would have bias apprehended by the police.
He then inquired of the captaia his reason■ for saying so ;
the reply to which was, " that if ke stood there aggra-
vating tom he should get a brace of pistols and settle hint
at once."

r. Ybillipa asked whether then wee any person belong-
mg to the ship present ?
Mr. lieslop Tess and said, the applicant and a number of
other paupers wen in this ship, on their way to Australia.
Ile was an clime employed by the board of guardians of
St. Mania's, who had sent out these paupers, and hir duty
ended when the ship riled for her destination. Ile knew
nothing of the disagreements whiei had taken place be•
tween the captain and, the paupers, but he believed there
were warrants issued for the apprebentinn of the applicant's
brother, who was present, and another brother, who was on
board.
_ .

Mr. PhiUipa desired that one of the firm of Fos, Sons.
and Co., should be mot for, these gentlemen 'wing the
owners of the vessel. _ _ _ _

The use was ordered to stand adjourned for a few
minutes until the arrival of the agents; but before• quarter
of an hour had elapsed, Mr. Allen, the master, came in
with two constables from Saltash, and they took Adam
Young into custody.
The Mayor than requested the captain to stand forward,
sad he, in mower to his worship, said that Adam Young
had been: gail'y of gross mutinous souduct on board the
ship, and that his two Withers, Charles and Henry, had
been guilty of mutinous conduct in • secondary degree.
The disturbances they had ereatalamenget the passengers
were of • most disgraceful description, sad he was really
afraid of his life.

Henry Young said the captain inquired on Saturday,
" When are the Youngs?" and when he came up to hint
he asked his permission to go ashore. The captain replied,
that as soon as he got on shore he should give him into
custody.
The captain said his charge against t►e men was
mutiny, by threatening to throw him overboard and set the
ship on Bre.
Hr. Phillips said the beach could have dealt with the
whole of the charges, but inasmuch se two of the ewes
were to be heard at Saltaah, he thoaght they had better be
all heard there.

The captain said that would be the best course to pur-
sue. He thought it right, however, to tell their worships
that when he called these men aft they swore that they
would not allow any of their people (the paupers) to go aft
to hear any cursed Mutiny Act read."
He If,oung said the whole of the disturbances had
seises In consequence of one of the ship's company break-
ing into the cargo, making one of the single women
drunk, Ate. He (the captain), on hearing it, brought so a
bnoe of pistols before the young woman, and threatened
to blow out the brains of the first person who interfered
with him.
The Mayor recommended the parties to proceed to
Saltash, and have the was decided, on which they left
the court.
