was an aiion. of assault and; battery, brought
by the Plaintiff, gunner of the Indus East-Indiaman,
against the Defendant, Captain of

To this- the Defendant had pleaded that the Plaintiff
was MbinfouS and diSobedient, And/that the battery
was inflietedfor the preservation Of order and: sub-

GArtitow, fbr the Plaintiff, opened a' Strong

determined• to retire from the service, and end his
• days an shore; he vas, howeVer, solicited by the
_presetit.Defendant to takeanethe'r -Voyage to India,
• with ; him; BOatsivaiti He complied, and
they smiled Oa and home together. They arrived ln
Ireland, —amt. the Ship "v:as lying at -Crookhaven
when the assault, :of which be complained, took
place. The Captain bad been s-sh Ore to -dinner, and;
i he believed; had partaken de:eply of the hospitalities
of that .hospitable KitOiku. While he was
-•- • •
sent, he did' hot mean to dew that the Crew re-
laxed a little atso. In sho,l, they were surrounded
with Boatsfrom the shore, called •Bum-boats, which'
brought them spirits, and he believed many ef them
were drunk. .It was true also, that when the Officer
who commanded ordered them to sink 'fbcise'Boats;
by throwing shot into them, they refused so to treat
. their new allies, with --ti.hbilithey considered theM-
selves.in a 'treaty of alliante.. But this, was nothing
to the ,Plaintiff,for if there was one sober- man on
board it was him. Not,.perhaps, from that degree of
forbearance which a Sailor did. not usually possess,
but because he had been ill ;with -a' severe tliax, and
he had sense enough to know.that drinking 'whiskey,
Or other ardent spirits, would be to, him mc4tal,;---
He had therefore .early retired sober to his haril.

evenibg the state of. the. Ship- was reported to him.'
He immediately sent for the BoatsWairi, whom he
addressed as soon as .be had•made his _appearance, as is
follows :—" D—n your blood?, .am Ito send for. you
twice ?" The Plaintiff assured him he had received

bin 'one message, and that he,--haO immediately
obeyed it. The Captain, without further question;
attacked him with. his drawn sword, which he
broke,. and beat him so unmercifully that he was
bruized from head to foot, and in one continued gore
of blood.. It was toe this in jury that he soughfc,im-
pensation. -
Mr. c_tißow then called three Witnesses to prove
the case. They proved hat the Captain beat the
Defendant, and broke his sword in the aa, but did
not see any of the blood.
Mr: Serjeain BEST addressed the Jury in behalf
of the Defendant, and stated, that he should prove
that the Plaintiff was drunk and" Mutinous, and that
the whole Ship was in a state
,of confusion. Seir-e-
--ral Officers of the Vessel, and thePaSsengers, proved
that the Crew and the Plaintiff also -were drunk, from
the spirits brought by the Bum-boats, ,and.that the
Captain did strike him, but not in the furious n3,anner
that had been represented. 1 ,

Two other battles took place at Grimstead qrgep,

honours again. The last engagethent teas the most'
obstinate of all, and afforded: more. Sport, to the
Anateurs than either of the fbrmer. The names Of.
these heroes were Toney and ,s''atit/i.. Toney bad
just returned from his travels, having made a 14
years' tour through the Continent' of Botany Bay-T-;
so-far he may be considered air accomplished Bruicer
at least. The combatants diSplayed noseienee„ but
maintained the battle with unparalleled obstinacy.
The bets were equal until; the two last roUnds,-.
when Smith exhibited some symptoms- of weak-
ness. Bets were, then. five to one in favour
Toifcy, wbo at last gave his, antagonist a blow,
Which terminated in smitles giving in, much, to.
the dissatisfaction of the populace, whose 'favourite
