second engineer of the Lion steam.veuel, trading between
London and Friesland, and J. Jame*, D. Dillies, J. Payne,
J. Kelly, N. Bard E, Sorrell, and J.' At Donald, firemen
and trimmers in the same emcee', 'were charged with having
piratically endeavoured, on the 16th of September, to make
a revolt on board upon the high sees, within the jurisdiction
of the Admiral,y, they being of the crew of the vessel.—Mr.
Smith, as counsel for the prisoners, lusted that the first
r Brawler bad applied to institute proceedings against the
es Win of the noel, but, not having his evidence at hand,
a delay had necessarily taken place, and in the interim he
had been taken into curody upon the estraorditary charge
upon which so many of the persons employed were brought
foreard.—Mr. Pelham, for the owners (Messrs. Robicson)
said the motive of the first engineer was evident enough, as
he well knew the nature of U. acclimation which he
must himself answer upon the representation of the captain
Capt. H. W. Neville said, lam the master of the Lion
steamship, trading between London and Friesland, in Hol-
land. I quitted London for • voyage to Friesland on the
13th of September, taking with me as part of the crew the
whole of the prisoners at the bar. They each of them poe.
seemed a registered ticket, and I received them in due course,
and pleat their names on the muster roll. We arrived at
Harlingen on Thursday morning, the day after we left the
port, and took on board a general cargo, and we were to be
ready on the 16th to return. The fires, were lit early in the
morning. About eight o'clock I observed • quantity of
poultry brought on blued in baskets by the firemen, and
upon inquiring whose they were was answered that they be-
longed to Smith, the lint engineer. I afterwards saw
more brought on hoard, and war told they belonged
to the same person. I told them to 4eep them
on shore, as I would not allow them to be
on board. A few minutes afterwards 1 observed Smith

came from the shore, over the paddle-box. He held lap his
Bat to me, and said, " You won't let my fowls come on board,
won't you ?" I told his I would not allow it: there were
too many. He then said, "Then, I'll pay the freight for
them." I then said, they shall 11,1 come on board at,all.
He said, clapping his hands, "New I've got you; I'll leers
yes and your Mr. Robinson a trick: I'll stop the ship. This
ie what I intended. I'm been scheming thu for you." H.
then called to the fireman below, " Rake the fires out ;"
and then ordered the prisoners to brigs the poultry *hors
dreg with them. After giving dinctiol.s to the chief mate,
I went ashore, and sent for the agent of the ship, that he
might expostulate with Smith and the firemen. When I told
him what took place, he sent for Mr. Harmer, a merchant in
the plasm, who took Smith along the pier to talk with him,
and came on board atter having walked nearly an hour with
his. I then mut for the consul, the erisoners having all
gone whore except M'Doneld, and I sent the mate to tell
them all is the presence of the consul to come aft to the cabin,
and when they came, I asked them one by one, if they in
tended to resume their duty. Smith told the rest not to say
anythisg. I then asked the firemen and trimmers
and the second engineer, if they would not do their duty and
obey my orders in " getting steam ?" AU, except Mc Donald
Bed • less aimed Rayner, who is not here, said " No, they
wadi not wakes Smith did." I then went with the consul
and adineed to Mai the registered ticke s of all the men,

an hoer aftenneds. Two of them cams back several times
to endeavour te get Rayner to go ; but he said he would do
hie duty. After some time the mesa and Mr. Harmer
came ea board, and said that Smith and the rest would re
tarn to the vessel. Then the witness detailed the
particulars of smother interview, at which, upon
being again urged to return, Smith said " No,

close to the th4p, and as I appeared on deck Smith culled
out, "Captain Neville, where is your Mr. Robinson now ?
Why not take the ship away ?" And that sort of about was
continued during the whole of the afternoon es I passed freak
' the ship to the shore. After detailing the particulars of m-
other ineffectual effort to induce Smith to return to his duty,
the witness stated that instead of leaving Harlingen on the
161 h he was detained until the 19th at noon, in ems
sequence of the desertion, and was obliged to tranship the
live stock, at • gnat expense to the owners. In the
ordinary course the ship would have arrived on
the envenom of the 17th in London, so as to have the live
stock ready for Monday morning's market.—Mr. Pelham
here produced the certificate, stating the positive
referl of all the prisonen to return to their duty notwith-
standing the most energetic exertions to prevail upon them.
—Capt. Neville : It wee necessary to have recourse to the
soldiers mid the police to protect the mew and the ship and
the firemen who remdad on board. The agent wrote to
Mr. Robinson ea amount of the transactions, and on my
arrival the asoesary proceedings were adopted.—The Lord
Mayor remanded all the prisoner., refuting to take bail.

home bearing date, "Loudon, Ist Sept., 1848, drawn by
Jahn R. Calvert, on the manager of the Bonk of Scott ind,
for 2001. sterling, payable one day after date." It was pre-
sented by a Mr. Hutchins, who inquired whether the dime
pansy between the terms of the bill end the acceptance
would occasion its r.fusal, and be was informed that although
the acceptors kept en account at their house, the acceptance
was a forgery.—J. W. Mudd= met the prisonert at a Mr.
Teegue's office, In Aldermanbory, on the previous day. Mr.
Teague asked, could he lend the prisoner some money, ret he
only wanted about 21. He did so, Mr. Tesim giving a bill
of the prisoner's for 2001. as a security The bill was not
endeared at the time, but it was handed to the prisoner who
wrote the endorsement on the back, and then pm it to wit-
ness. An appointment was made with the prisoner to meet
next day it the Duke of York's column, for the purpose of re-
donde; it, but having spoken to his (whams's) solicitor he
