ulared it a wonder boy; we had got through this danger
-withot harm. Several coating ships' boats put off to us,and
101 asked what we wantcd there. At times we only had twen-
ty-one feet water, and our vessel drew sixteen to seventeen
feet ; it was a trying time, and all agree in saying it WaS a
most pn.vidential de,iverance. At twelve A.M. Captain Ih*ken
came below, and informed us that he could not undertake to
convey the passengers to New York unless he put into some
port for a supply of coals, and he had consulted with the
pilot, who had recommended Holme's Hole as a place where
many coal vessels put in, taking coals to Boston. We had
only sixteen hours' coal on board (and that must be at hale
speed), whereas at that rate we could not make NQW York
under two days; if we were to go at full speed, we should
burn them up in a few hours. For Holme's Hole the ship
was steered, and we anchored here at four P.M. Captain
Hosken went ashore, and succeeded in purchasing a cargo,
which we are now taking in about three miles front the
village. My ()Onion of the Great Blitain is, that a finer
model never was built, and her engins are good ; but she is
not rigged properly, and it is the fault of the directors, for
Captain Hosken says he has rotested against. it float the
commencement. It must also bep accounted for why we were
sent to sea w.tl

sixteen days we dui not work always full speed; in fact, I do
not believe that when the Great Britain left Liverpool, we
had more than fifteen days' coal on board, provided they
had been burned in quanta to keep on the steam at full.

From the evidence of the prosecutor, a lad about 15 years old,
it appeared that he was walking with another boy at Highgate,
looking for blackberries, when several idle boys, among whom were
the prisoners, accosted them, and in an impudent manner demanded
their money, and when they found that they had none, they took
away the knife—a suggestion, which was not however carried out,
having been previously made to take their jackets and boots as well.

went into a public-house near Blackfriars.bridge to have some
refreshment, and the prisoners and some other persons were stand-
