S. Hewlett, C. 8., T. Hope; !I'.:Wilsoni W.; Edmon-
stone, C. J. J. Ewart, and. R. B. Crawford, assem-
bled on board her Majesty's' 'ship Victory to try
Wm. Johnstone; an able seaman, on a charge of de-
sertion from her Majesty's service: The prisoner
pleaded " guilty," and no evidence was taken. Froth
a statement the prisoner handed in to the court, it
appeared that he entered on board the Dragon for
five years' service; that he was transferred to the
unfortunate Tiger, in which vessel he received a
wound in the arm ; and on her going ashore in the
Black Sea, was taken prisoner by the Russians,
with the remainder of the officers and crew. After
the termination of the inquiry into the loss of the
Tiger, Johnstone, who had previously returned to
this country, was granted 14 days' leave of absence,
and went to Liverpool, where he states he became
drunk, and was conveyed on board a merchant ves-
sel while in a state of unconsciousness. When he
came to his senses and discovered his position he
told the captain of the ship ke was a man-of-war's
man, and desired to be put ashore. His application
was refused, as the vessel was some distance from
the land. lie went to Callao in the ship and re-
turned to England,,but, being afraid to enter the
Royal Navy, went another voyage. in a merchant
vessel. On again returning to London on the 23d
of last month he got drunk, and was persuaded by
a master-at-arms to volunteer for the navy, and on
being taken on board the Crocodile receiving ship
was recognised as a deserter and taken into cus-
tody. Capt. Wilson, one of the members of the
Court, said tie prisoner, served under him in the

Howe, and bore an excellent character both as to
conduct and seamanship. The Court, taking into
consideration the circumstances of the case and the
prisoner's good character, only sentenced him to
three calendar months' imprisonment with hard
labour.
