MUTINY ON BOARD THE INGLIS EAST INDIAMA N.

John Lally, Stephen Rose, George Wells, John
Harrison, John Steele, Lumond Cole, John Carter,
Morris ld,Cannon, and John Murray, were indicted for
feloniously conspiring on the 6th of June, in the 10th
year of the reign of his late Majesty, on the high seas,
within forty leagues of the Cape of Good Hope, they being
prisoners on board a certain ship called the Inglis, the
property of Mr. Borraidale and others, and whereof Joseph
Dudman was master ; and combined together to resist the
lawful command of Joseph Dudman and other officers,
and overturn the discipline of the said ship, and insi.t
upon his discharging a mariner in confinement in the said
ship, and thereby creating a mutiny, against the articles of
war and the statute.

Dr. tOSIIINGTON, Mr. ALLEY, and Mr. EVANS, were
for the prosecution.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS for the defendants, Lally, Rose, Jor-
ian, Weds, and Harrison.
Mr. CLARKSON appeared for Steele, Cole, Carter,
Murray, and M'Cannon.
Dr. Lusuirtazox, in stating the c Ise to the Jury, said
he considered this was a case of great importance, and
commenced by giving a detailed history of the voyage of
the Inglis. She arrived at Calcutta in May, 1829, and
then proceeded to China, where she arrive d on the October
following; and owing to the peculiar manner in which the
business between this country and China is conducted, it
became necessary, for many seasons, to issue orders to
prevent the mariners from having any intercourse with
the inhabitants en shore. In the January following a
complaint was made to the Captain that some of the crew
had improperly obtained some liquor on shore called
chanspon, which induced him to institute an inquiry, and
after the fullest investigation he found it necessary to in-
flict a maritime punishment, and the prisoner Rose
received three dozen of lashes, which was not con-
sidered a severe punishment for such an offence ;
and it would be, proved that Captain Dudman never
overstepped his duty, and never acted with severity, but in
cases of urgent necessity. He always acted with the
greatest kindness to his crew in all cases of sickness and
distress. On the 6th of June, at an hour when no per-
sons were allowed to leave the deck without permission of
the officers, Lieut. Moore had on that day the command,
and with difficulty be could prevail on the crew, among
whom were the prisoners at the bar, to do their duty, and
what they did perform was in an unseaman•like manner ;
in consequence of which the Captain expressed himself
in terms that he could not justify or advocate, though al-
lowance must be made for the manner and customs of
persons so situated. The expression alluded to was
not applied to any of the prisoners. The prisoner
Lally appeared to be the most guilty in the tran-
saction on this occasion ; he hid defiance to the captain,
and it was by mere physical force he could be put into
confinement, for using insinuations and insolent language.
Shortly after, 20 of the crew shewed a disposition to re-
lease Lally from the poop where he was confined. Sub-
sequently the prisoners took the command of the ship, and
gave the captain ten minutes to consult with his officers
what he should do, and to prevent bloodshed, he s ielded
to the command of his men. On his return at St. listens,
he delivered up the mutineers unto military force, and
brought them in such a manner to this country. The
Learned Doctor concluded by stating the different points of
law on the subject.
Mr. Put uses was continuing his cross-examination
when we left the Court.
