Yesterday John Brown, a very tall man, the mate of wa
Ann of Newcastle, was brought before Mr. C103113g 8,13,
Mr. BRODERIP, charged with committing a vari'ety of
saults on a little sailor boy, named Michael Conof2Y.
The boy was an apprentice to the owners of he 11

to pull back to the vessel several miles against tide.
coming alongside the mate jumped into the boat, ant 1 saair,

again struck him and kicked him. The boy then defne
several other cases of ill-usage by the mate, who was ill4this

The mate, in his defence, had not badly used thel
