THE AFRICA.-At the end of last month the
Council of the Mercantile Marine Service Associv

tion, Liverpool, submitted to the Committee of the Frill
Council for Trade a series of remarks in reference to the re-
cent sentence for the suspension of the certificate of Captain
Stone, of the Africa, in the hope that, upon consideration,
their lordships might see proper to reverse the sentence of
Court of inquiry. The observations were as follows :—" 1'
The verbatim copy of the evidence given upon the occasion
does not, the council believe, upon a fair construction of it,
bear out even the opinion of th nautical assessors, upon which
the sentence was given. 2. It was impossible to weigh the
evidence in favour of Capt. Stone against the opinion of the
nautical assessors, who were not exposed to strict cross'
examination upon the reasons which led them to the coo"
elusion on which the sentence was pronounced, while Capt.
Stone, the accused, was subjected to the strictest cross-
examination, and, practically, their lordships will see that
he is condemned upon the assessors' interpretation of all
admission extorted from him. 3d. An unprecedented sites
ration appears upon reliable evidence to have taken place in
the currents of the Gulf Stream, with the extent of which
the assessors were and are not acquainted, and the extent of
which is still even imperfectly known to any one. 4. The
soundings in the neighbourhood could not have told with
certainty the position of the Africa, had soundings been
taken. 5. The course pursued by Capt. Harris in his cross-
examination of Capt. Stone, the question put, and the opi.-
nions expressed by him in conrt,:appear to the council to
show that he considered himself somewhat in the position of
a prosecutor as well as an assessor. 6. The sentence states
Captain Stone to have been guilty of a culpable want of
caution, The council is anxious to point out to their lord-
ships that a culpable fault is such as would expose Captain
Stone to a prosecution and conviction, had a passenger been
injured, and the owners to a verdict against them by
pars of goods. There appears no reason to suppose that tisii
is or would be the case. 7. It does not appear to the cett
just to single out Captain Stone for inquiry, while the
majority of cases are not inquired into at all. 8, The con
cil cannot suppose that it was the intention of the LegiS;
lature that in these inquiries the person whose character
and certificate depended upon the result should be elei
mined on oath against himself; as that is a procedure;
variance with all the principles of jurisprudence; and
reference to the anomalous mode in which the charge „„
made, or rather decided, during the inquiry, and the Pry-
toe
ceedings were conducted, the council refer their lordshiPe
the circumstances that in inquiries before the local mar
Boards, involving the suspension or cancelling of a certiti;
cafe, a distinct charge must be made, and a copy of t
handed to the accused at least 48 hours before the COur
sits. The Board of Trade, in their reply, dated December
3, state that they have received a memorial from Cap
at
Scene appealing against the decision of the court, and tilf'
they have in their reply (in which they have entered fall
into the circumstances of the case) informed Captain Stale
that they do not feel themselves justified in interfering wits'
the decision of the magistrate and his assessors.
