A poor woman stated:to them; 'that, she had, taken

to the Master, who stewed them away in the mold ;
but unfortunately one of the passengers had a birth

there is no doubt of the fatie in the course of the pas.
sage,which lasted-only eighteen houts, he eat no less
than nine dozen .of the poor woman's eggs. The
passenger did not deny the 134, yet tile woman,
complained not of him, but of the M ister, who,
she insisted, had been guilty of miscondlift, in al.,
lowing such a passenger (a ravenous Heg) a birth
in the hold. After beating parties at great length,
the Magistrates decreed the Master to pay the poor
woman . for her eggs, but reserved to'him his claim
of relief against the Hog. Here, however, an:other,
question no less difficult occurred ; namely, whether
1 the woman was. entitled• it . receive fur tier eggS
1 the market price_ at Gteenock, or only the, liriine
cost ; and after heating this point diseussedea.t great
length, the Magistrates seemed to think,'ihat the
case in so far as the hog was concerned,, partook of
1 the nature of a spidzie ; and coniidefing the nuts_
ter as answerable for, ths hog, they found the mei.
ter liable far the market puce. We are credibly
informed, that all the parties have .aeptieked in
this decision.
