The next evil-uce was James Hinton, of the
Light Company, as also stated in the fourth

John Reading (mentioned in th,: last charge es
being violently struck by the Poisoner with his
cane, oo or about the 13th June 1807. when under
aims, elle head of which entered his cap about
ri,ree inches, and could not be taken out but by
force) appeared in Court with the cap ; but, °win
to the following section in the Mutiny Act, the
charge was waived ; viz. ,‘ Thai no person shall be
liable to he tried and punished for arty offeuce
which shall appear to have been committed mote

for such trial ; unless the person accuse _l, by reason
of his having ashientrol him►elf, or of so rte 'woolliest
impediment, shell not have been ccoranable to jus-

shall be liable to be tried at any t not exceeding
two years."
lir reterring to the warrant, it appeared to be
dated in the month of July last, on or about the
27th; cuusequeutly this charge was not entered
upon.
There were other witnesses ex unlined, but their
testineopies nut being worthy of publicity, we there-
fore refrain from giving them.
The last evidence was that of Capt. Millar, the
Paymaster, v. hick created mod, ineestigation,owing
