In fact, it was rumo -rel that the case was qai'e

of December, he saw Coe deceased in irons—handcuffs, but
nothing else; don't know why he was pat in irons, nor
how lane, la • was kept in them; don't know that anything
happened till they get to Boasbay. Saw him wot king in
the ship between the times of his having the handeeffs on

complaint of i'd usage drain; ate time. The (lay aft- r
arrival, six of the crew, tai's deveasedbaing ore of them,
went to the captain and told }aim they would not work,
and the captain said, v,l-v wail, you ninst tike what you

It was not the decens'd who struck the Wo v. The ship

two or three days, •en I had the same find a' the rest, and
plenty, ar,OI did rot make any complaint in the h,aring of
witness. Two or three days aft,er he was put into a room,
where si-dls and paitt were kept, still in irons ; but witness
could nut say how long he was kept there. He was tin on
the quarter deck every day—sometimes will the cuff, on
one hand, s,,me•imes on the two hands. Don't know
what decess-d had to eat whilst in the room, but heard
-no complain'. Don't know if he bad a bed to lie on. •He
was kept in that room on the passage home, but came on
deck every day. 1161 got sick before the ilia came to
Liverpool. Did not ih'nk the deceased was what he would
call ill-trea'ed by the captain, officers, or men of the ship.
The deceased and witness were taken t ) the Northern
Hospital on the Ist October. Would net object to [Clip

Coro7!er: Why nit ? She is a very wet ship.
Allen Morrison, the mate of the chip, was examined,
and his t vidence was in substane t to the above effect.
He said the d, cease I was is irons on the outward voyage,
for crea'ing a row and refusing to work.
In reply to Mr. tzneyvhall, the witness said six of the
men alluded to were left behind in B :mb ,y. The hand
daffs were not en deceased after he eon] plained of being
sick. Before that they were taken elf at nigh', and put on

Coroner : Had h•.l enough to sit after I e complained ?
Yes ; I got twenty-tilt-re whole biscui'i in his ba:; after
that.

took him wine. Ha fell away a great deal of er he co,-
plained, and I gave him wire, but he objected to that. H•

To Mr. Cobb: IV:is hp 140 clays in irons? Nn. How

Mr. Edward Davis,-o-e of the suegems of the Norhern
Hospital, said the d ceased died en Tuesday last in that
establi-havent. He was in a s'a'e of cellars: and exhaus-
tion, w_ at his extremities cold, wi•lt feeb'e pulse ; the
vital v powers. The body was very much emaei.!ted
Remedies that were conside•cd necessary were resarted to.
I have since made a post mortem on the body. There
were no extern 1 marks of violence on it. The cause of
death was pleurasy and effusion into the c Oy of the chest,
pu ely from natural causes—pleurasy is intiamati.in. The
disease of 'he chest certainTy might be aggravated by any
of the three fall wing causes—e xposnre to c-bi, bad air,
or badly ventilated ap•rtment, or deprivation of fo id.
Thomas Hal', the s'eward of the ship, was examined,
and gave general evident!, as to the treatment t f eevased,
whom he said had the life of a gentleman whilst in irons—
far better life than he had. (Laughter.)
John Mainard, me of the sailors on boird,was ex :mined,
and he said the paint-locker where the deceased was lodged
was not fit for tiny man to stip in
