Charge of Murder on the High Seas.

SOUTHAMPTON, Friday.

A young able-bodied seaman, named James Hen-
nessy, was this day brought before Mr. J. Benlard,
Admiral Tinling, and Colonel Tryon, borough
magistrates, charged with the wilful murder of
Louis Galla, a Frenchman, on the high seas. From
the statements of two of the crew it appeared that
the prisoner and the deceased were both seamen on
board the English vessel Isabella Ridley, belonging
to Messrs. Ridley and Sons, of Liverpool. It was
bound from Havre to Pernambuco, and about ten
days after its arrival at the latter place, at five o'clock
in the afternoon, the prisoner was seen to come from
the port side of the vessel with a knifein his hand. He
inquired where Louis, the Frenchman, was, and the
deceased shortly after appeared on the hatchway,
when the prisoner, with an oath, deliberately stabbed
him in the left side near the heart. The wounded man
exclaimed, " Oh, my God !I am stabbed—l want a
doctor." Several of the crew took him ashore in a
boat, and conveyed him to a Portuguese doctor,
who refused to have anything to do with him, and
ordered the men to take him out of the shop. The
deceased was then taken to the house of another fo-
reign doctor, who promptly stanched the wound,
and directed the immediate removal of deceased to
the hospital, where he died, it was believed, the fol-
lowing morning. The prisoner was secured and taken
before the British Consul at Pernambuco, and the
facts of the case having been deposed to in the usual
manner, the accused was ordered to be removed to
this country for trial. There appeared to have been
no particular animosity existing between the prisoner
and deceased. The only thing that bore the least
semblance to a quarrel occurred on the passage out,
when the prisoner requested a little French boy to
take his two hours' watch. The boy, who could steer
very well, had already been four hours at the helm,
and the deceased objected to his being thus imposed
upon. The prisoner did not appear to like this inter-
ference, 'and he struck the boy, and some rather high
words then passed between him and deceased. The
accused was then remanded till to-morrow (Satur-
day) for the production of the depositions taken be-
fore the British Consul at Pernambuco.
