Gelea, and kis -crew, in the shape of a charge of
misdemeanOur against the Captain, in violently
assaulting andwounding John Ciragno, one of the
seamen, conducted by Mr.-litta., the Attorney.
The wituesses.producefl. were sworn according to their dif-
ferent religions, .without their shoes, &c. and according to
the directions of the interpreters who attended for the pur-
pose. From their evidence it appeared,' that, in the month

him sonic bread; which being within hearing of the Captain,
he called out to Ciragno to know, what toisiuess he had to give
orders, and afterwards gave him a violent Wow with' a Turkish
long pipe. Ciragno remonstrated against the. Captain's
striking, hint, and asked the 'Captain-why he used him so ill
' for merely asking for some bread? The Captain replied to
this, that he had better hold his tongue or he Would come to
him and him, and appeared ina great passion; 'he pro-
ceeded to Ins cabin, and returned, in- a shrift time, armed
with a sabre or a cutlass, and went. to Ciragno,
.and aimed a
violent blow at his head; but which was fended off 6y some
of the crew, and the sabre or cutlass fell on his thigh, and
inflicted a wound. The wound was afterwards dressed by the
Surgeon of the vessel in the hold. The wound was not so
-bad as to prevent him from working.
