A,,Court7Martial was held on Friday, on board
the S'avadcv d 1 Munch 3., of 1 If 4 'guns; ACllllllal
YOUNG, at Plymouth, for the trial of a man of the
Bacflpr, of 98 guns, Captain YORKE:for mutinous
expressions to his Commanding Officer; the 1-10-P!
Captain H. A. GARIDNEII, President : when, aoe
the evidence was gone through for the prosecution,
and the Prisoner heard in his defence, he was found
Guilty of th‘:! charge alledged against him, and sen-
tenced to be hanged at the yard-arm of such shiP
as the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty shall
appoint ; but from some circumstances arising in thei
course of the • trial, the Prisoner was recomm,endec!
co his Majesty's *fey.

It has been very properly observed, .that what
Lord ELLENBOROUG4I deliYered in Court, respeahlg
the testimony and conduet of Miss Brown, in the
recent cause of RAILSTON v. 1313DINGFIELD, was not
only honourable to hiS Lordship; as an a6t of liberal
'ju'stice towards the Lady, who must have suffered 0
much on account of her sister, but' may tend to.
restri6t the licen6e of pleading, which., however ne-
cessary for the discovery of 'truth,' is too often a
severe outrage to the feelings of those Who,are otr
hged to appear as-witnesses on similar occasions, a
circilmstance sufficiently distressing of itself..
