SEAMEN'S WAGES.

A very important case, arising out of a claim for
seamen's wages, was decided at the police court, Li-
verpool, on Thursday last, before Messrs. Evans and
Benn, the presiding magistrates.
In December last C iptain M'Bride, of the ship
Tory, the property of Mr. Duncan Gibb, of Liver-
pool, jumped over,oard, and afterwards died, while
the ship was proceeding on a round voyage from San
Francisco to Bombay. Tne first mate, consequently,
took the command ; and the present claim for wages,
of 63 dolls. 4c., was now made against the owner,
Mr. Gibb, on an order or bill of exchange drawn
upon him in favour of one of the seamen named Hugh
Roberts, signed at Penang, by the mate, then in
command, and backed by the signatures of two Pe-
nang magistrates.
Mr. John Yates, sen., attorney, appeared in sup.
port of the claim ; and Mr. John North, attorney,
defended on the part of Mr. Gibb, who was present
during the whole of the inquiry.
Mr. Yates, on behalf of the complainant, produced
the bill of exchange.
Mr. North admitted the handwriting on the bill to
be that of the mate of the ship.
The Bench then intimated their intention of at
once deciding in favour of the complainant, when
Mr. North contended that they had not jurisdiction
to decide upon a bill of exchange.
The Magistrates dizsenting from this view of the
case, _ _

Mr. North proceeded to show that the document
was obtained in an Improper manner, and appealed to
the magistrates whether, under these circumstances,
they ought to act upon it. Supposing he could prove
that it was obtained by the mate of the ship having
had his life placed in danger by the crew, would the
magistrates feel themselves justified in acting upon
such a document ?
After some discussion, the magistrates ruled that
Mr. North should examine the mate.
Robert Husking, the mete, was then examined.
He stated that he was the first offer on board the
ship Tory until the death of the captain, which took
place on the t)th of December last. The chip was off
the island of Penang, when the captain threw himself
overboard. Their voyage was from San Fran-
cisco to Bombay, touching at Manille. The com-
plainant Roberts, with six others, shipped at San
Francisco, signing articles with the captain for the
round voyage. After witness had taken the command
of the ship, on nearing Penang the complainant and
the other men who had shipped at San Francisco said
they would go no further with him. He asked them
why ? They replied that they wanted their wages.
He was obliged to put into Penang on the 12th. At
night the men went on shore and got drunk. They
did this for two or three days. They demanded their
discharge and their wages, and refused to do any
more work. At last he was obliged to complain to
the magistrates. On the 15th of December the men
were taken before the magistrates, who told them that
their wages were safe, and advised them to go to their
work and let the vessel proceed. The magistrates
threatened them with imprisonment if they did not go
to work, and gave them until ten o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning to consider. On the following
morning the men again appeared before the magis-
trates, and he told them that witness had promised to
settle with them. The magistrates then ordered their
discharge, and desired witness to give a bill of ex-
change on the owners for their wages. Afterwards
witness eigned bills, being afraid of his life.
Mr. Evans—Did they compel you to put into
Penang ? Witness—Yes. I should have pro-
ceeded on my voyage if they had not forced me to
put in there.
The entry in the logbook; showing the whole of the
proceedings while the ship was lying at Penang was
then read, after which
Mr. North asked permission to address a few words
to the bench before closing the mate's examination.
He said the case before them vas one of vital import-
ance to shipowners; and that was the sole reason
why he was then present. It involved nothing less
than the momentous question whether a crew, having
once signed articles and shipped for a voyage, were at
liberty to leave their ship. In this case, for no rea-
son, either expressed or implied, the complainant, and
those who shipped with him at San Francisco, had
forced the master of the ship to put into a port not
named in the articles, and then left the ship under the
circumstances now before the Court. All that could
be believed was, that the men did not wish to go on
with the ship to Bombay, but to proceed somewhere
else, where they thought they could obtain more lu-
crative employment. He was in a position to show

that the bills of exchange, as well as the signatures of'

of no legal force.

The mate was then further examined, and stated
that it was under threats that the bills of exchange
were ultimately given. When the men went L efore
the magistrates to get the bills backed they were in-
solent to them, and insisted on the magistrates back-
ing the bills. He was compelled to engage a number
of LaSCUES to navigate the ship, which was effected
at great expense and risk to the ship. Was aware of
the effect it would have on her insurence.
Mr. Evans—Then there were other bills besides
this given? Mr. Gibb—Ye.; some of them have
been preser.ted in London, and all treated in the same
manner as I have treated this—rejectte,
A copy of a protest sent by Lloyd's agents at
Penang to the magistrates wcs here read by Mr.
North.

Drummond, the carpenter, who sailed with the
Tory from Liverpool, corroborated the mate's testi-
mony as to the conduct of the complainant and the
other men who shipped at San Francisco.
In the course of the inquiry it transpired that the
men were first before the magistrates on the 15th, and
that the bills were given on the 27th of December.
Mr. Yates, in reply, contended that the bill of
exchange was binding upon the defendant. It was
given 11 days after the men had been before the ma-
gistrates, and the allegation of its having been ob-
tained under a threat was therefore idle. The mate
had chosen his own court in Penang, and ho (Mr.
rates) urged that the bench was bound to act upon
the decision of the magistrates there with regard to
the bills.
Mr. Evans (the presiding magistrate), in giving
the decision of the Bench, said, "I consider that this
is a case of the very worst description of unqualified
mutiny ; but it seems to me that the mate has com-
mitted himself by signing the bill of exchange ; and
it becomes a question whether we are not bound by
the ultimate decision of the two magistrates at Pe-
nang. It is, perhaps, a legal question; but lam ap-
prehensive that the Jaw comp As us to act upon the
decision of the two magistrat s there. It is so as
regards this country generally, and I apprehend that
all the dependencies of the Brit!=h Crown are, in this
respect, in the same position 11 we are at home. I
must say, however, that I cont-73er the conduct of
the magistrates highly inconsistent and reprehensible;
because, in the first place, they order these men to go
to their work, telling them that their wages are
secure, and after wards they order their discharge,
and recommend a bill to be drawn upon the owners
for the amount of their wages, and then sign this
bill. I think I never heard of such inconsistent
conduct on the part of any magistrates. Still we
hold ourselves bound by it, and order the payment of
the amount of the bill. _

Mr. Benn expressed his concurrence in Mr. Evans's
opinion.
Mr. North—But you do not hold that the decision
of these two magistrates is legally bi!...iing upon
you ? I think your clerk will tell you that it is
not so.

Mr. Evans—The way in which the mate gave in to
,he men was an error.

Mr. North—Admitted. But he did it under a
breat of violence.

The Clerk--Not at the actual time of signing the
order.

Mr. North—He says they threatened his life.
The Clerk—He does not say that in his letter.
[A. letter from the mate to the owners, detailing the
circumstances, had been read.]
Mr. North—lt is a pure question of law. I deny
that the dczision of any foreign magistrates is bind-
ing upon you, and, as you admit that the merits are
in our favour, --
Mr. Evans—The equity of the eve is decidedly
with the owner.; ; but the maf3 committed himself
by signing the order, cad I do not see how we can
refuse to order the owners to pay the amount of
the bill.

Mr. North intimated that Mr. Gibb would appeal
against the decision to another court.
Mr. Evans—l hope he will, and I should be happy
to heir that he was successful.

The Marquis of Salisbury preyed in town yes-
terday.
DEATH FROM CHLOROFORM.--Another death hei
occurred from this potent agent. The patient was a Mr.
Martin, a cattle-dealer at Earlstoun, near Melrose, who was
put under the influence of the agent by Dr. Brown, of the
latter place. The operation performed consisted in destroy-
ing the stufaces of some ulcers by caustic. The death wrs
sudden—before the operation was finished. Dr. Brown did
not use more chloroform than he had o'ten done before, end
the drug was of undoubted purity.—Newcastle Jonrnce.

ESCAPE OF CONVICTS AND RECAPTURE.--On
Tuesday afternoon as a gang of convicts were at work, exca-
vating mud from the moin sewer in the Roy?! Arsenal, two
of them made their c, cape up the sewer, which runs in
various directions under the Totality. Search was made by
the convict authorities rid the arrcnal police. One of the
convicts managed to get up the trap drain by the Ordnance
Arms, and made his escape down the Plumstead-road, but
was captured near the railway bridge. A man having seen
him get up the drain and cover it over again, he gave infor-
mation to the police, who were searching a drain rot six
yards from the other. The other convict was discovered by
a guard in the same drain. The two convict guards (Jeci-
scp and Cook) volunteered to search for the men in the
drain, and they were occupied upwc ds of six hours before
the convicts were discovered. They were both secured and
taken on board the hulk.—,Kentish Dirercury.

LORD DERBY.
The Mayor of Liverpool and his Conservative
friends have had a very great treat, but they have had
it all to themselves. The Premier has unhosomed
himself to them after dinner, and the etiquette of their
Tossm•hall, which is as the laws of the Medes and the
Persians, forbids the least disclosure. Nothing leaves
the walls of that genial inquisition. Those chartered
libertines the gentlemen of the press range free as air
over all that pertains to the public. Liverpool alone,
which fifty years ago, was the stronghold of the slave
trade, and has since that sent many a pretty
craft to the slave coast—Liverpool, the capital
of Protection in every possible form, shuts its
doors to those quiet representatives of the people.
The guests themselves drink a cup of Lathe before
they leave the walls. None of them can report a
single word of the man who has the next turn to
speak in the greatest of modern political controver-
sies. They remember the brilliancy of the flash, and
they believe they were very much affected, but the
particular impression has passed off with the mo-
mentary stimulus of his worship's champagne.
Perhaps the very excitement that expanded their
intellect and melted their hearts to the reception
of Lord Derby's splendid sentences at the time,
has since helped to efface them from the memory,
for it is proverbial that " soon learnt is soon for-
got." However that my be, the Prime Minister
of England might as well have addressed a hundred
boarding-school misses, or as many coalwhippers,
for any good the people at large are likely to get
by it. When a maniac, as sometimes is the case,
gets returned to the House cf Commons, and moves
the exclusion of strangers, it invariably happens
that not only one, but several Members present
report the proceedings, valueless as they are,
and enable us to supply the gap in our Parliamentary
intelligence. At Liverpool, it appears, there was no
one who could do this, no one who could carry away
ten ideas of a speech he had just heard, or who,
having them in his head, had also the smallest wish
to communicate them. In fact all seem to have
thought that the best thing to do with the
speech was to suppress it. So Lord Derby buzzed
for that evening like a bee in a bottle. He made
a dinner table wild with delight, set the glasses
jingling and the waiters staring. He even kept
awake, or at least in a mesmeric wakefulness, some
score gentlemen who would otherwise have been
dozing round the embers of their own dining-room
fires; but there the effect ends. He sparkled' like a
diamond in a mine. Bands that the rod of empires
not only might have swayed, but actually do sway,
were buried for that evening where at least they were
quite powerless. "Little or nothing transpired of
a political nature," says the local press, " nothing in
the slightest degree indicative of any Ministerial in-
tentions, and nothing to show that the First Minister
of the Crown and the leader of a powerful
party was present. It is true that the noble
Earl delivered an extremely brilliant and in
one part a most affecting speech—when did Lord
Derby acquit himself otherwise ?—but his Lord-
ship most carefully avoided any allusion to that
line of :policy which the nation is awaiting
and discussing with intense interest." We don't believe
it. When did Lord Derby speak without declaring
himself? So fluent a tongue must always speak out
of the abundance of the heart. Is it conceivable that a
man whose own opinions are so finely distinguished
and so strong that he has saved their integrity at the
cost of two Administrations, and who has quarrelled
with literally every statesman in the country for
concealing his real sentiments, can have spoken at a
political banquet, long, eloquently, and affectingly,
and yet left his hearers not one whit the wiser. No.
He did speak out. The merchants of Liverpool
know a good ship when they see it; they know a
good bill of exchange, and a good man that is
solvent customer when they see him ; but
tney are not quite up to that nice employment
of words which indicates this or that policy ;
they want things broadly stated, with even a little
exaggeration; but Lord Derby was too Parlia-
mentary to be understood. At the very lowest sup-
position, this was what our neighbours would call a
" grave silence ;" that is as to matter, for there was no
lack of words. Bet when a man holds his tongue to all
practical purposes we usually supply a significance.
It is taken for granted that he thinks " Least said
soonest mended ; ' and, considering the remorse-
less vigour with which Lord Derby has not hesi-
tated to lash his former colleagues when he has
found or fancied himself misled by their professions,
it is not surprising that he should profess as little as
possible just now, when there is nothing to be got by
professions. In truth, why need Lord Derby say any-
thing, or why need he do anything, till the exigen-
cies of Government compel some positive measures ?
The Conservatives will be only too happy to see
their friends is power, and will wait for relief, or
whatever they cell it, as long as it may suit the
Ministerial convenience. Nay, the matter most
immediately pressing—the funeral of the Duke—
can be deferred for months ; and it is stated, in
fact, that no orders have been given, or are to be
given till the meeting of Parliament. In this
and most other matters the less done, as well es
the less said, the better, and a grave inactivity
es well as a grave silence is the highest wisdom.
The instant Lord Derby has committed himself
to any definite proposal he stands pledged to its
soundness, and must abide the result of a dicus-
slim upon it. So long as Mr. Disraeli's line lay
in attack he made way every day. It was only when
the impatience of the agriculturists and the curiosity
of the public forced him to say what ought to be done
that he exposed himself to ridicule. There are par-
ties, as there are races, whose strength is the want of
position. So long as Bedouins have no city or strong
hold and move freely on the face of the desert, they
are invincible ; £3 soon as they have houses and pro-
perty that they cannot peak up on their camels'
backs, and defences that they cannot carry on thair
saddles, they have given hostages to fortune, and are
assailable by the slow and heavy warfare of civilized
States. This, then, very possibly, is the position, or
want of position, which our political Bedouins mean
to take up. Next month they will have to state some
sort of a case to the country. They will have to
say what they are and who they are, and why they
are to govern instead of the retiring Ministers.
Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli are both
sufficiently masters of language to make a good deal
out of nothing, and dupe the country into the belief
that they have announced a policy when they have
said nothing at all. Perhaps the speech at Liverpool
the other day was an exercitation with this view—
viz., to obtain all the results of a good speech and
say actually nothing, as when a man obtains posses-
sion of a good horse by the exhibition of a flash note.
We are prepared to see this course tried, possibly
with some degree of success, next month. The spec-
' ale will not be creditable to the nation ; but we
I la to worn the Conservatives that they will be the
only people taken in, as Lord Derby, once in power,
will soon find he can only hold power by a Liberal
policy, and such a policy he, therefore, will adopt
without much ado.—Times.

IMPORT DUTY ON FOREIGN RABBITS.
When the late Sir Robert Peel reformed the tariff
so as to free the people's food from those particular
duties which during a long period of protectionist
rule had made it systematically dear, the item
" rabbits" was omitted. The import duty on dead
meat was abolished ; poultry and game were ad-
mitted at a certain ad valorem duty, but rabbits,
dead or alive, in which there had hitherto been no
trade, were not thought of sufficient importance to be
specifically excluded by a high duty, or to be ad-
mitted by a specific mention of them as one of the
articles of food on which in future no import duty
was to be charged. This omission has given
rise to much doubt and inconvenience to a new
branch of trade which the reformed tariff has created.
The small two and three -acre farmers of Belgium--
who are probably amongst the most enterprising ann
indefatigable of the farming race—the moment
our restrictions on foreign imports were removed
commenced the breeding of rabbits to a large extent,
and have produced those immense supplies which our
poulterers' shops have been of late years displaying on
Saturday nights for the behoof of the working-
classes, under the name of Ostend Rabbits. But a
question has arisen with the Custom-house authori-
ties as to what is the precise description under
which this new description of foreign food
shall come in, and Custom house zoology has decided
that dead rabbits are poultry, and as such are
subject to five per cent. ad valorem duty. This de-
cision has occasioned much inconvenience to the sales-
men ALngaged in this trade, and hrs tended to restrict
the supply, not so mach on account of the duty E 3 the
Custom-house regulations, which often pre-
vent the introduction of the animals until
they are unfit for human food. To memorialise the
Board of Trade on the subject, a meeting of theim-
parters and salesmen connected with Leadenhall-
market was held in September last, at wh,ichcer-
tain resolutions were passed, appointing a ,deputa.
tion to confer with the General Steam Navigation
Company, to induce them to facilitate the convey-
ance of the article, and to consider the propriety of
applying to the Board of Trade to remove the duty
levied on rabbits, meat being free. And on Mon-
day night a supplementary meeting took place at
the Rose and Crown, Leadenhall-market, to re-
ceive their report. The chair was taken by
Mr. G. Brooke, common-councilman for the ward,
wbo stated that FO important had the trade in Ostend
rabbits become tnat, whereas, 15 years ago, the article
was hardly saleable in London, now there were from
fifty to a hundred tons a week imported, affording
animal food for 100,000 people at the rate of !:lb. each.
The great market was of course Saturday, but in con-
sequence of the Customs regulations, the rabbits were
fr. quently not delivered till 9, 10, and sometimes 11
o'clock at night, and the consequence was that they
were often rendered unfit for human food before

they could be sold ; and the persons engaged in the
trade (numbering some 1,000 persons, including
salesmen, porters, and others), were deprived of their
ordinary Sabbath rest. The duty was not of itself 0
very serious item, but as the Ostend packets came la
frequently after Custom-house hours on the day pre'
ceding the market, and as extra payment W
required to obtain the delivery of the goods 0°
the same evening, the freight of 4s. 6d. per case►
was thus raised to a charge of 1.55., which was a serious
matter. To show the severity with which these regu'
lotions pressed upon the trade he might mention that
one salesman, Mr. Davenee, lost 1201. in two weeks
lest season in consequence of the delay they occs'
sioned. The Steam Navigation Company had met
the deputation i❑ the most handsome way, and had
undertaken to sail their boats from Ostend not late
than twelve o'clock on the Friday night, so that they
might arrive in London by the middle of the Saturday
at the latest, which was all the salesmen required;
and all that was now needed was the removal of the
vexatious Custom-house restrictions.

Resolutions confirming the proceedings of tha
meeting of the 24th of September, and authorising
communications to be entered into with the Board of
Trwle in furtherance of the object, were agreed to, and,
after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the Pleating
separated.

Mr. Bostock, druggist, of Ashton-under-Lyne, states that
person with whom he is well acquainted has received a most
astonishing cure by the use of Holloway's Pills. For months
he was afflicted with severe pains in the stomach, chest, and
liver, which entirely prevented him from following his business ;
he tried most of the medical men in the neighbourhood with-
eat deriving any benefit from their treatment. He then de-
termined on giving Holloway's Pills a trial, and this incompa-
rable medicine had the effect of affording him immediate re-
lief, and finally restoring him to perfect health—Sold by all
Druggists, and at Professor Holloway s Establishment, 244
Strand, London.
