CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(TlllB DAY.)

The Oetobri session of the Central Criminal Court was
opened this moreing before the Right Hisnoundde the Lord
Mayor, the lksairder, Alilerineu Salons., Sir It. W. Car-
den. Sir 11. Muggeral4e.stol Phillips, Ur. there Cuckerell,
Mr. Sheriff Teruntymam Mr. Umler-Shent! Farrar, Mr.
ocier•sberill iiiiii on, a.c.
The first edititm of the calendar contains the names of
79 prisoners.
The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, rid the
charges in the calendar were u.it very eunierous. but there
were several of a very serious character. The brat ease he
called their attention to was a charge of murder against a
niau named Itaklr, the imptuiu of a merchant vessel. The
charge against the prisoner was that he bad
inflicted punishment upon a seaman, and had thereby
caused his death. Ile thought it right to inform them that
the law empowered a master to inflict niederate punish-
meet, and if death was the result of moderate pumshment
it was death by misadventure ; but if, on the other bawl,
inunmlrrete punishment were used it would be manslaughter,
and where the instrument used in the punishment was such
as might reasonably be supposed to be dangerous, it w., in
the eye of the law, murder. He wished particularly to
draw their atteution to the fact that the deceased died on
the 12th of September, and the ship arrived in Lembo on
the loth, awl no mouplaint was made against the captain by
any ef the seamen until some days after, wheu there was
depute between the men and the captain. and a summons
was taken out for wag., and it was not until after that
the charge wan made. If such were the case, the grand
jury ought to lc* very ore's* upon the evidence.
It was stated by cue warms Met the pseiahment spoken
of was indicted on the Ist of August, sad another ens the
21st,or between the 14th and 21st, when the captain ordered
deemed to do some work, when be refused, stating he waa
sot well 'cough. It appeered that the captain did not be-
hove this ; and some of the witnesses had even toll the de-
ceased there was nothing the matter with him. He was
entered to do 8401110 ligLUlt work, and, as he still refusal,
the captain took up a rope and chastised him. Two wins:sees
stated that he worked for three or four days afterwards,
others stets he did sot work at 41. There was another came
to which he would call their attention, which wu • charge
of maslaughter against two persons, which, it was stated,
arose from an attempt to procure ebonies. The only evi-
dence seemed to net exclusively epos the evidence of the
decried. In ortlinaryomess on maienseat was allowed as
evidence mikes taken spas saik.sl4,o the lefties nothism
the statement believed his Of blerndl to be dying, sad it
would be for them to Wady themselves that the -deemed
at the time of maktag the statement believed herself
to be dying. There was mother clams of man-
