under pain, he called the defendant "a fool of a moke."
The prisoner then said that he would give him more
shortly. The quarrel between the two continued for
same DM minutes, and the prisoner was seen by some of
the other persons on board to draw a knife from his

The prosecutor, in crone-axamination, said that he told
the primps: that if the British consul would allow him to

England, but would forgive him.
Mr. inspector Clarke said that from information he re-
ceived he apprehended the prisoner on board ship at
