there was some one to conduct it, and arrange the
evidence.
Mr. Pelham said the man had been with him, end
he had offered to conduct his case, and sue the 0113-
tain in the County Court for damages, or take it to
the ressions. The man had made a very long
state:
ment to him, which he would now put in ; and be had
received a letter in reply to one written to the car
tain, which was to the following effect:—" 77 Gros"
venor-street, Commercial-road, Oct. 14, 1850.--P'
in reply to your note of the 11th instant, respecting
the illegal imprisonment of Isbaster, I beg to state
that he was found in the hold of the ship, broaching
the cargo, -which is stated in the mate's log-book, 1113.
parently making arrangements for trading with the
negroes. I considered him to be a dangerous charee'
ter, and deemed it necessary to confine him on olwr
in irons. My consignee, Mr. Matthew's, would have
had him put in gaol, had he not promised to return
to his duty. I forgave him, and on arriving in L'ef
don, about two weeks back, paid him his balance
wages, without any deductions for being off duty, for
which I have his receipt. _

" Yours, respectfully,
" ROBERT PluDg.

" To J. Pelham, Esq."
Mr. YAILDLET should have been very glad indeed

if the case had been in Mr. Pelham's hands.
The complainant said he could not stop on shore
and wait till the Case was brought before a jury. ,t
Mr. Pelham—The delay would only be a fortnifidu.
or three weeks. I told him I wanted no fee in 2
vance. In such cases I don't ask for such a thing;ie
Mr. YARDLEY said he should certainly not dect.',
the case. It must go before another tribunal.
could only regret the seaman did not leave his case In
the hands of a gentleman who offered to take it a?
for him. The seaman had been used in a very sin;
gular manner, chained up and left amongst savages
for several weeks.
Mr. Farmer—Oh, no ; they are not savages'
King Bill and his guards said the prisoners sh(nli t
not be eaten. I beg your pardon, they are no
savages. re
Mr, YARDLEY—What do you mean? They 5 0
not the less savages because they did not eat the tt
seamen. I did not mean to as they were cannibals'
To chain a seaman up for five or six weeks under 7
burning sun amongst savages is not to be thought
not to be tolerated. To treat King Bill and his black
slaves or Kroomen as a regular court of judicature ,
absurd.
The Chief Mate—lt was dangerous to keep the/31
on board.
Mr. YARDLEY—I am very sorry indeed this eke
is not in the hands of the gentleman to whom it 10"
originally entrusted.
Mr. Pelham—Perhaps you will be so kind eel
adjourn this case for a week. One seaman has die/
from the effects of his horrible treatment in Africa. ,
am quite unprepared to go into all the details at tb
late hour.
Mr. YARDLEY—The defendant must find good boil
to appear here this day week. of
The Magistrate then directed Inspector Griffin+ „t
the Thames police, to make further inquiries 5130"
the death of the other man, and see if there was 5144
evidence forthcoming regarding him.
Finally, the investigation was adjourned until Tall
day, Captain Pride putting in bail, himself in 801. as
two sureties of 401. each.

Thomas Hardy, alias Ovens, and Edward sort o

bar before Mr. Elliott on the following +
charge. en
From the evidence it appeared that about ele/r0
o'clock on the preceding night the prisoners We
met in the Kennington-road by Inspector Emmersnn,
Sergeant Goff, and other officers, and Goff having
ev
knowledge of their character, and observing that thilit
had something bulky in their pockets and als)ri,.

after a sharp chase they were secured, when
