in Coventry, who seelli. to have tramifereed his affections

go'ng to a foreign land. Knowing that her uncle possessed
a bilge sum of ready money ale managed to get poll-

it was too serious a case to be diaposirl ei in that summary

made arrangements to send her where she would be pro-
perly taken care of in the future.

Liverpool from the ):lack River, Jamaica, on Monday last,
and on the following day some of the crew went to
the police authorities, and made atakments which
led to the captain and his two mates being taken
into custody. It appeared from these statement* that ut
Jamaica a number of c•donred men were taken on board as
addi.iunal hands, and that throughout the voyage the re-
maind,r of the crew were treated with great barbarity.
The in In Til•Donald was beaten about the head and face by
Lakin, with the laying pin, until him shipmates said be
did not look like a human being. This treatment was
continued until he died, and his body was inkinediately
thrown overboard. Three seamen, mimed, were also beaten
by the prisoners about the head, until they were fre-
quently covered with blood. Each of them Lid his nose
smashed. The prisoners were in the habit of indulging in
AU amusement unfit for publication. Other acts of cruelty
