George Brown, one of the runaway visitors to California,
wa• changed before Alderman Hooper with having de.. rted
from the Bombay ship, now on her voyage from ban Fran-
eine to Java, having signed widest, navigate the vessel to
than ports and house.
Mr. Bdward Lawson, of Botherhlthe, sole owner of the
Bombay, said he had enpged the defendant after the vessel
bad been supplied with her crew as an extra hand, on the
some term* as all the rest. At Best Francisco the defendant
and 16 ether seamen of the 18, of which the crew con-
sisted, ran away to the diggings, end the espeese to which
the vessel was put, in consequence of so cruel an abandon-
ment, amounted to not fns than 1,2801.
Alderman limier raked how the prosecutor had mon-
taii.ed that the crew had deserted the ship ?
Mr. Lawson—l had a letter front the captain, informing
me that they had run away the day after the arrival, and
I was obliged to pay 160 dollars for the supply of the place
of each of the runaways. The ship has, in fact, completely
eaten herself up. It is indeed a satinet's trade. I had
fitted out the Bombay for twenty months, and the moment
an opportunity presents heel!, away the men go. It will
be seen by the articles that every seaman wee, upon his re-
turn in the venal, to receive a pound a month extra pay,
and twopence per ton for the guano which it was intended
to bring home Shipowners who venture to send their veer
sels to the gold regions can have nothing but rain before
them Wench practices °mien.
Mr. Coleman, of the oak* of the licgistras.General
for &amen, stated that he had summoned the defendant
upon his application to the Gilles for a ticket. 'rho deserters
from vessels at California and Australia wore innumerable.
The alderman would form some idea of the dreadful loss
and embarrassment to which the owners were liable when

he was assured that there was a fleet of 160 ail at prevent at
Australia, not one vessel of which could stir on account of
the desertion. He regretted that be found considerable
diMeulty in prevailing upon the owners of the vessels to
which deserters belonged to come forward with complaints,
in order to secure the infliction of punishment upon such
injurious delinquents. for without their evidence the de-
serter walked off upon the demand of a penalty of 10s.,
after having caused enormous expense to his empl ,yea.
Mr. Lawson said a person would suppose, after such
treatment se the defendant had received, that there would
be perfect asentity for his return.
Mr. Coleman said that several of the seamen who had
deserted, red who returned enorreoesly paid to this
country in ether vessels, admitted to his that they did not
at all relish the digging.,the labour beteg much greeter
than they mere mismitemed to, or than they could long
ordure.
