IN IN

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-MAT 15.

&Way at NIA Pries after Tern at Gaildball.—(Before
Mr. Jetties Wightmaa soda Special Jury.)
HORNS V. . GIBSON —DUTIES OF MST NATI.
• .

This was an action for wages, and ;lac forcompet;sation in
damages for assault and Woe imprisonment on board ship.
There was a count charging the defendant, who was the captain
of the vessel, with haring refused to allow the plaintiff to
discharge his ditty as chief mate, and obliged him to serve
as a common seaman. The defendant paid 30/. into
and as to the imprisonment pleaded not guiltyc,°u
secondly, that the plaintiff was insubordinate and incom-
petent to discharge his duties as chief mate.
Mr. Serjeant Shoe and Mr. Hance appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Lush and Mr. Watlim Williams ma-
rinated the case for the defence.

From the opening statement of counsel it appeared that
the plaintiff was a young man. • native of Aberdeen wheat •
very early age was apprenticed as a sailor. He had served
ia sit or seven different vessels, and from the owners of
seek had received firstelase certificates as to good
conduct and competency. In May, 1859, the defend.
eat, who was captain of the Sandi Newman, en-
gaged the plaintiff as chief mate of that vessel,
which was then in the East India Doeks,destined for • voyage
to the Chinese seas. After his e meat he paned the
usual examination before the Marine Huard, and obtained a
certificate of competency. The ship sailed on the Bth of
Kay, and was piloted as far as the Isle of Wight; and
shortly after the pilot left the defendant commenced •
roan of bullying and cruelty towards the plaintiff, refue-
ls/ to allow him to do duty as chief mate, and making him
week the decks and help the common seamen. On the 27th
et May, whilst the vessel was ia the Channel, • heavy gale
aims on, and the defendant ordered the plaintiff to riot the
topsails. The plaintiff at once went up, although it wee ant
hie duty to do so, and upon coming down he was ordered to
go forwent and furl the foresail. 'The plaintiff refused, on
the ground that there were Wirier officers present who bad
nothing to do, and the captain seised him by the throat,
and ordered the mooed mate to fetch the irons. The irons
were brought, and bevies...bat: put on the
be was placed is the which was flooded with
water, and confined there from o'clock in the evening
until the next morning, whin the impede gave him his
choice either to remain irons, sad be kept on bruit and
water until the end of the voyage, or do the duty of • com-
mon sailor. The plaintiff chose the latter come, and ful-
filled the duty of • common mike during the net of the
voyage.
The plaintiff having proved the above facts, stated in
erces-ezarnination that he never refused to do duty as first
mate, and denied that the pilot ever told him that he was
incompetent for that position.
Cook, an apprentice on board the ship, said be
belie the plaintiff was thoroughly competent to fulfil
the duty of ant mate He saw the captain seise bold of
the plaintiff sod force him hack.
Father toy, the boatswain. corroborated the preeeding
witness as to the emu* and added that he wood • paper
which the captain put before him, to the effect that the
plaintiff we. incompetent to fill the aloe of first mate. Hs,
however, admitted that be would not have signed the paper
if he had been more fr" while on board.

sad Lopeatcher came at side by side, and the judge, unable
to separate them. prosounaid • dead heat. Angelo was two
leeaths off, Papeete a bad fourth. Lopcatcher afterwards
walked over, and the Mikes were divided.

Crons-ezesained—When the pilot left orders were given
to put the ship about, but the plaintiff neglected to station
the men, and the captain told him how to station them.

George Shartoo, another of the crew, said the plaintiff
was a ectly competent chief mats, but at the outset he
to show a want of power to inspire the men. The
plaintiff was a quiet man, and never swore.
Mr. Laney, a master mariner, said the Sarah Newman
had twenty ir en and six &mealtime on bout Unless in
as emergency it was not the duty of the tint mate to go
aloft and furl the sails, sad it would certainly not be his
duty if the second mate and carpenter were Mewling idle.
Croes-examined—As a general rule it was the duty of the
chid mate to go aloft whenever the captain ordered him to
do so.

-114;examined—If I directed the chief mat* to do anything
beyond his duty and he refused I should not feel justified
in patting him in irons, and keeping him in confinement fur
19 boon.
Mr. Lush, in his address on the pat; of the defendant,
contended that, as the plaintiff had disobeyed orders, the
captain was perfectly justified, with a view to the mainte-
nance of discipline and subordination among the crew, in
piecing him in irons and treating him in the way he did.
Thomas Lowery, the pilot, said that, in visaing •
Dowse, he drew the pkatiff's attention to the state of the
weather, and ordered him to call all hands up and place
them at, their stations, and bake the canvas a the ship.
He told him that hi must be lame energetic, and led the
ass to their du f, but be was amble to do so. He also
told him that be must do his week better, orb, would be of
no use in each a ship. Witmer could not form any judg-
ment as to the plaintiff's compoteney from what he had
seen of him.

--bicei-eaUnined—The plaintiff was respectful to the de-
fondant, and all on board.
Captain Oibsoo, the defendaat, said he bad been a
master mariner for 20 years. The pilot first called his
attention to the incompetency of the p aintiff. He did not
carry out the orders given to him. On tie day after tile
pilot left he called the plaintiff up and told him that he was
incompetent to diechaids his clu:y as first mate. The plain.
tiff mud ho had no idea 'hat ship was no large when he
first came on board, and that be had made a mistake. Wit-
MN said as there were no more bards on board than neces-
sary, he must make himself useful. When the plaintiff
refused to furl the maimed, he took him by the arm and
led him to a cabin—not the cloost—sod ordered hire to be
put is irons. The plaintiff was not competent to discharge
the duties of first mate, and could not be entrusted with
the charge of the vessel.
Oros-esamined— He might have called tie plaintiff a
lobbeely fellow. Did not recollect saying be was a wooden
mss, so old woman, or a goalie, but he might have done
so. Never said Ie was • blackguard, or a beast.
Never threatened to beat his brains out with the telescope
or belaying pin. Pe might have ordered him to wash the
decks. H. dawatxl the playoff on the Nth of May, but

Mr. Linklater renewed an application which had bes
made at a former sitting, fur an extension of the time
allowed to a trader, who had petitioned under the arrange-
ment clause, for filing his accounts. The first sitting bed
not yet been held ; but as the accountants, Messrs. Hart,
found that they could not file the amounts, as the eat
required, tee days before the first @isms, the petitioner
now sired that further time might be given. B 7 the 223rd
section of the act the court was authorised by implication
to extend the time, the words ben:ITT:I,' within such ex-
tended time as may be allowed kis the court for the
r(rE.Afildavit had bee. nods Mann. Hart ea
complicated nature of the memo* and the socasity

His Honour was of opinion that the first sating might
be adjourned if neeeary. There were two questions in-
volved in the present application—had the nowt power to
trait it, and might it to do so, aa a matter of demential.
Everything depended ow the manning of the words, " each
extended time," in the act. The question was one of so
much importance that It would be desirable to have also the
affidavit of the petitioner ; and the wart would then decide
what order should be made.
