With the kiduapping ease of the four Chaim' citizens
our readers are familiar. The particulars of it have
been so fully reported in our columns, as they Caine,
first, before our Police CoUrt, and, next, before our
Crown Court of Assize, that it cannot but be fully un-
derstood by every one who has paid attention to, it. In
the Times of yesterday we observe a letter from the
four kidnapped citizens of Chili, giving a resume': of the
whole case, and paying a just tribute of thanks to the
judicial authorities here for the care and consideration
they have bestowed upon it. The verdict of guilty
against the sea captain, the object of the prosecution,
for bringing them to this country against their will, at
the instance of the Chilian government, has yet to be
consideredby the Judges in Westminster Hal/ ; but the
ill-used gentlemen conclude their letter by expressing
their firm assurance, that there will be a confirmation of
" the verdict of the courts and of public opinion, before
" which this affair of a scandalous and barbarous deal-
ing with men has been presented among civilised
"people." In this hope and trilst we heartily partici-
pate.
