LAW REPORT.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH.--•TttURSDAY,Ocr. 5
CROOK V. SIR WM. Host&
This was an action to recover a compensation in
money for injury sustained by the plaintiff, by the con..
duct of the defendant.
It appeared by the statement of Mr. Gurney, that the
plaintiff was employed as a seaman on board the Mutine,
of which the defendant was Captain ; that in conse-
quence of the representation of one of the crew, plaintiff
was sent on shore after being punished by flogging; the
K, which was usually affixed to the name of deserter,.
had been affixed to his name, when, in fact, he had
been compelled to go on shore at Malta. In consequence
of the It being so placed to his name, he had been re-
fused his pay and prise-money due to hint from the
Admiralty. Lieutenant Antrim, and several others that
were on board at the time, appeared as witnesses for the
plaintiff; but they failing to make out a case, Mr. Gut..
ney consented to be non-suited.
file case has occupied the attention of the House of
Commons a considerable time during the late Session of
Parliament. Sir Benjamin Hallowell, Captain Hoste,
Sir William Hoste, and other naval officers, were pre-
sent in Court.
