DESERTION OF SEAMEN IN TEE
TRANSPORT SERVICE.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRB. 9

Great interest has been felt at this port in consequence
of a magisterial inquiry having been instituted in refer-
ence to the alleged desertioa of several of the seamen
connected with the steam transport Mauritius, belong-
ing to the General Screw Company. This vessel lately
returned from the Black Sea with invalids, and on her
arrival at Southampton she was ordered back to Ports-
mouth. Upon reaching that pert, it was deemed expe-
dient to again despatch her to Chatham, and upon the
men discovering that such was to be the case, they de-
serted her by jumping over the bulwarks of the ship.
Upon application to the commander, Captain Stewart,
for their wages and clothes, they were refused Loth. In
consequence, several of the craw appeared at the magis-
trates' office yesterday, to procure a summons against
the captain for his retention of their clothes, and his re-
fusal to pay their wages. After some conversation be-
tween their solicitor and the magistrates the summons
was granted. Shortly after the men left the court, Capt.
Shuttleworth, one of the directors of the General Screw
Company, Captain Stewart, and Mr. Izod, the chief offi-
cer, appeared before the hench. Capt. Shuttleworth de-
signated the men as deserters, and requested the magis-
trate to put the law in force against them. Directly the
ship arrived at Portsmouth, and, in fact, before she
was moored, they left her, refusing to take her to
where she was ordered by the Government, and its con-
sequence put the company to which she belonged to
considerable expense. The articles having been put in,
proved that the men who left in the ship in August last
were bound to her for 12 months to go to any port in
England, France, or the Mediterranean, and Black Sea
which her Majesty's transport or ether service mi ht
require. Captain Shuttleworth said, that the same case
of desertion had happened to another of their company's
ships, the Harbinger, and the moment the Government
were informed of it every man was seized and put
into prison. By the men leaving the Mauritius the
lives of all the invalids on board were put in danger, and
likewise the safety of the ship. The mayor thought
that the cases on the summons issued against the cap-
tain must be first gone into. Captain Shuttleworth
considered the cases distinct. The magistrates wishbd
to know why the men were not given in charge at
Portsmouth at the time they deserted the ship I Cap-
tain Shuttleworth said that they jumped over the side
of the vessel before the captain was aware of it, and
were off. Between 30 and 40 of the crew had left the
vessel, which was still in the Government service, and
work was stepped in consequence. After some further
conversation, Captain Shuttleworth pressed for the im-
mediate issue of warrants for the apprehension of the
men who had left the ship at Portsmouth. The war-
rants were then granted. The several parties appeared
again this morning ; but, in consequence of the absence
of two necessary witnesses, the case was adjourned
until Monday.
