COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
STILSON V. EVANS.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom was Mr.
StIPPERD) stated that this was a criminal informa-
,th% against Captain Evans of the ship Bistam, for
teiltvirig a seaman, George Stilson, at Genoa against
the inclination of the said Stilson, and the lay that
ease provided. The Learned Co':.nsel tin

boa,..' • 'B6lson—Was engaged as seaman on
the.Ristam, Captain Evans, in 1817. Was
""Itedfoe a
voYare to Leghorn, Genoa, and back.
The! citio being discharged there, tCaptain Evans
ook Witness to the Consul, and made a complaint
rist him- The Consul a few days after-
th-1 sent word to Captain Evans, telling him
ha must take witness back to England, or
"Ii a ship for him. W;tness could not get
t"vtged in that ship, and he went back to the
Captain Evans having refused positively
take him back to England, he again went to the
O'n,ol- The Captain offered to pay his wages, but
to take them, and the Consul again said
`Liat Captain Evans must take him back, as they
%aid not compel him to go in any other ship. He
ints to the ship with his clothes, and a letter from
14o'Costsul, but they would neither receive him or
letter, and the Bistam sailed the same day. He
tiariained three weeks at Genoa, and was sent home
itthe Consul's expence.
,Cress-examined b' Mr. BROUGHAM—The Cap-
!lttli Of the other stlip, the Tiffin, refused aethe Con-
r"lf's to-have sn7 thing to do with him. He did not
usd tct ten tin on board the Tiffin because they
a Na not give filth able seaman's wages. Was
pto prison at Genoa, but did not know what for.
~,inew that he never-challenged the second mate
`"' [4;4 and give Min two black eyes. When he
l'tattonfined.below the Captain did not come down
britecof pistols before he could get him to
take in Canvassin a stiff gale. •
John Landi was also seaman in the Bistam. At
Genoa- the Captain said he did not care what would
be the consequence, he would not bring Stilton
hack again; saw Stilson and the Captain go on shore
in the boat. This witness confirmed the evidence
of Stilson, ad to the Captain's refusing to receive
him-on ward.
Cross-examined by Mr. BaouGnAst---A man
kilned Hughes came home in Stilson's place, and
"ksWered to his name at the muster in Palermo.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Nit;" BROUGHAM addressed the Jury for theme"
te, and said that before the Jury could' con-
'lot Captain
Sti Evans, they must be certain that
lson had not been accessary to stopping at
t,:icnoi.. If he showed a sufficient disposi-
bon to remain, which
izeiit to the • Captain's proposal,
would argue an agree-
1'
tiough for him to come to the ship when too late,
4,td.the ship:was on the point of sailing. He had said
that he had no objection to come back in the TO7n,
tiding that he had the same wages, and all the
the
e of his unsupported evidence would suggest
ti_he had every wish to leave the vessel in which
knaci proceeded with,
,he having given the first
n-c-e ,t'wo black .e es and challenged the second mate

Capt. PUvans had received Stilson after

Phatat the first port where quarantine was to be
c'
,'ed, from the disagreement between the ship's
rjeinthe master would have inevitably been obliged
Lls,perform that ceremony, and would have been
'iiKid`to account to the owners for the delay and
f'49yent diminution in the value of the cargo.—
tihe're was no discretion in the Court as to the pu-
sholent which would be inflicted on the defend-
