THE AFRICA.—At the end of last month the
Council of the Mercantile Marine Service Associs:
tion, Liverpool, submitted to the Committee of the Privy
Council for Trade a series of remarks in reference to theme
cent sentence for the suspension of the certificate of OW"-
Stone, of the Africa, in the hope that, upon considerstin
their lordships might see proper to reverse the sentence c)
Court of Inquiry. The observations were as follows
The verbatim copy of the evidence given upon the 00°1cl--
does not, the council believe, upon a fair construction of 14
bear out even the opinion of th nautical assessors, upon whic':
the sentence was given. 2. It was impossible to weigh L 1
evidence in favour of Capt. Stone against the opinion of
nautical assessors, who were not exposed to strict croge
examination upon the reasons which led them to the cent:
elusion on which the sentence was pronounced, while Capt'
Stone, the accused, was subjected to the strictest Grose;
examination, and, practically, their lordships will see that
he is condemned upon the assessors' interpretation of
admission extorted from him. 3d. An unprecedented site'
ration appears upon reliable evidence to have taken place
to
the currents of the Gulf Stream, with the extent of whtctl
the assessors were and are not acquainted, and the extent e*
which is still even imperfectly known to any one. 4. 111°
soundings in the neighbourhood could not have told vii',,"
certainty the position of the Africa, had soundings beeig
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 court,:appear to the council te,
show that he considered himself somewhat in the position 0)
a prosecutor as well as an assessor. 6. The sentence scat if
Captain Stone to have been guilty of a culpable want °
caution, The council is anxious to point out to their lore
ships that a culpable fault is such as would expose Copts!
Stone to a prosecution and conviction, had a pemer ger be.eu.
injured, and the owners to a verdict against then,' b271:1111;
pers of goods. There appears no reason to suppose "1
uncil
is or would be the case. 7. It does not appear to
Teat
just to single out Captain Stone for inquiry, while 1--
majority of cases are not inquired into at all. 8. Tll°.,,is-
cil cannot suppose that it was the intention of the l'"or
lature that in these inquiries the person whose dace,
and certificate depended upon the result should be °X
mined on oath against himself; as that is a precedereisti,
variance with all the principles of jurisprudence; and has
reference to the anomalous mode in which the charge
made, or rather decided, during the inquiry, and the ore.to
ceedings were conducted, the council refer their lordshiPB,o
the circumstances that in inquiries before the local rastirtio,
Boards, involving the suspension or cancelling of a c it
cote, a distinct charge must be made, and a coil °to
handed to the accused at least 48 hours before the cc)ber
sits. The Board of Trade, in their reply, dated Decal itt
3, state that they have received a memorial from CaPto
Stone appealing against the decision of the court, and 119
they have in their reply (in which they have entered One
into the circumstances of the case) informed Captain St4o
that they do not feel themselves justified in interfering WI
the decision of the magistrate and his assessors.
