Mrs. Margaret Bones stated she wee the pesos who

(Mn. Boom) did not see the doctor there.
The doctor, in endeamaring ta extricate kkaself from
the odium of this unangllsh usage of a respectable end
worthy young female, was adroitly brought up by Kr.
Grandy, who pointed oat the loosely et justifying an action

Captain English here asked the filifoll if she ever saw

The matron declared she saw the second mate several time
lying on the young women's beds, and once she saw him
asleep on a form jut outside of a berth.
Captain English—And why did you not report it to the
daetu ? _ _ _

Metros—l did report it to the doctor.
Mn. Murphy said there was a yang girl sitting beside
her who could vouch for the tenth of Miss Arnold's
statement respecting the improper condom of Use second
mate. The girl naturally felt diffident, bat would honestly

to be plead for meanie at the merry of such eta monsters.
The doctor, woo should Lava clerked such proceedings with

Mr. Grundy then wooteded to the charge made

Berber, a passenger, which ha appeered in the Ade-

gations oral testimony was adduced at considerable
length.

Captain Brewer said (after bowleg all parties) that he
would report on the matter to the colonial government
without delay. In the rathatisse, of confer, the committee
would set as they thought proper.
Mr. Grundy said that particular ease wee in Captain
Brewer's hands, and there was no doubt he would deal with
it on it. merits. The committee had a more extensive ob-
ject in vie, than merely expoahig the ineftlegieney of the
doctor, or the culpability of the captain, whose conduct he
(Mr. Grundy) was compelled to denounce as disgraceful to
the charayer of the English merchant service. (Beer,
hear.)) The committee should wage war with the system,
and, if nersible, reform it altogether." (Cheers.)
Mr. J ihn Stephens said Captain Brewer bed acceded
cheerfully to the wish of the pasesegen and that of the
committee by them appointed. He named that day for the
inveetigatioe, and holed listened to their complaints with
marked patience and attention. He (Mr. Stephens) pro-
posed a vote of thanks to Captain Brewer.
Mr. Grundy seconded the motion, :which was carried by
acclamation.
We have bean compelled to omit some of the charges as
being too gross for publication, as also was much of the re-
crimination that took place. A theme of grog selling,which
involves a serious penalty, was also established against the
ship's ffici n. As one of the many instances which want of
space prevents us from reporting, we may mention that the
Doctor endeavoured to shelter himself from the charge of in-
difference to the wants of the emigrants by stating that, if
he had been made actpthiated with them, they would have
been redressed, the captain _at the same time laying hold of
the same straw; whereupon Mr. Stephens handed to Mr.
Grundy, who was on his legs, • espy of the memorial_ lad-
deemed to the doctor and the captain, on the 13th May,
which sate oat by a reference to " the loud and frequent
complaints that had been already made." This respectful
memorial, it was farther stated, had arises out of the fact
that verbal and individnal complaints to the dealer sad the
captain, in their separate capacities, bed been disregarded,
sad, strange to my, the doctor was rash enough to return
that important document, because not addressed to him
alone, an awkward admierion, by the bye, that he considered
himself solely responsible for the health and comfort of the
emigrants.
