trampled upon by the captain every day on the hoinearant
rem age. On the 26th of Oct. the captain found fault
with him for entering in the log-book that the rate of
sailing was three knots an hour, when it ought to have
been stated it was three-and-a-half knots an ho tr. Re
was in his berth standing up. and the captain kicked him
for ten minutes on the legs, feet, and body. Ho came
out of the cabin and went into the round-hou-e

plainant that afternoon there were no indications of any
violence whatever.
