the knife across his hand. lirrtness then called
out to Watson to bring the mail on board the
It.e/ipse, and he wised him for that purpose, when
he was immediately struck across the neck with
great violence with an oar. Then, and not before,
witness with some men went to Watson's assistance.
Httichin was not one of them, nor did that person
leave the steam vessel during the disturbouce.
Crosseexamined.—He had never been ordered not
to make fest to the moorings; but he knew that the
offiCeri of the Perseus did not like it. for they had
twice before cut his fastenings, though, up to dos
time, other vessels were allowed to make fast there.
Mr. Richardson. a passenger in the bclipre,
swore that he saw a man come down from the Per-
seus with a long knife to cut the Eclipse's rove, and
all the passengers cried out "Shame!" Wotson
went to prevent him, and before any blows were

when he seized the man that had cut him, he was
.struck with an oar. and the., the scuffle ensued.
Mr. Richard West. enoilier passenger, confirmed
the.testimony of the former witness.
Mr. Henry Hill, another passenger, said the man
belonging to the Perseus was stationed over her
bows beforehand, to prevent the lteltps's rope from
being made fast, and the scuffle between him and
the waternian, sent to make the rope fast, caused
Mr. Watson, the Defendant, to go to his assist-
mice. That led to the scuffle.
Stephen Barr, one of the crew of the Eclipse,
swore th.,t Machin, the other Defendant, remained
with him ou board the Eclipse doling the whole of
the time.
These witnesses all deposed to the conduct of Mr.
Marne, the master's mate, as grossly indecent.
The CHAIRMAN charged the Jury, observing,
that if there had been an established rule that no
vessel should make feat to the mooting' of the
Perseus, and the captain of the steam-vessel was
aware of that rule, and knew that in so doing
his rope would be cut, he would have been respon-
sible for all the danger and mischief to which by
so doing he exposed his vessel and passengeit -
Ir,• however, it was a mere matter of caprice, a
regulation sometimes enforced and st others relaxed,
be could not but think it savoured of inariiitetisni
arid over-officiousrien. so strenuously to enforce it
at a moment when the consequences were likely to
be so serious. It was for the Jury to sty upon the
evidence before them, on which side the first assault
was committed ; and if they were of opinion that it
commenced on the part of the man belooging to
the Perseus, by cutting the Defendant Watson with
his knife, they must 'egad both the Defendants.
The Jury. without a moment's hesitation, re-
turned a verdict of Acquittal of both Defendants.
