Senna eitoe...es were called, who proved the delivery of the bot-

tion.

Lord TrXTZMDEW asked the plaintiff's Counsel if he thought be
could recover a verdict after evidence of this description
The Learned Counsel admitted that he thought his client's chance of
a verdict very bad, and he would therefore submit to a nonsuit.
The three other Judges of this Court were sitting in the Bail Court
for the dispatch of the arrear of term business; nothing interesting,
however, occurred.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Ocr. 27.
lELSALL V. XARIWORTE.
Mr. Sergeant MEREWITHER appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Sergeant WILD! for the defendant.
This was an action for the recovery of the value of a promissory note
of 2001. accepted by the defendant, and received in the canoe of business
by the plaintiff. It was urged, on the part of the defendant, that the
bill had been fraudulently obtained, and that due diligence had not been
used in making the necessary inquiries respecting the age and capability
of the defendant, by whom the bill was accepted, and that the plaintiff
bad given no consideration, either in money or credit, as be did not take
the bill as a liquidation of the debt between him (the plaintiff) and Mar.
shall, the drawer of the bill; but that the plaintiff held it merely as
Security until that amount should be settled, and continued to press for
a settlement of the debt due to him from Marshall, by whom the bill in
question had been passed into his hands.
The Jury then retired, and, after some cocsideradon, gave a verdict
tiN the defendant.

The Judges took their seats at ten o'clock precisely, and the Jury
were then re-sworn, and the prisoners placed at the bar, in order that
their trial might be proceeded with.
C. PHILLIPS then proceeded to address the Jury on behalf of
Lally, Rose, Jordan, Wills, and Harrison, in a speech glowing with
eloquence and power. It was, the Learned Counsel said, his duty, at
that crisis of the case, to offer such obeervations as had occurred to him,
on the evidence offered in support of the prosecution, and thosonduet of
the persons on whose representations the prisoners had been put upon
their trial. It would be idle, if even he were to attempt it--to conceal the
fact -- that this cuss had produced the highest possible interest, and the
deepest anxiety in the public mind ; and that the result of the Investiga-
tion was anticipated with a feeling the most intense. He did not all re-
gret the circumstance to which the Learned Gentleman who stated the
case the preceding day had alluded, relative so the notice which bad been
taken of these proceedings by the public press of the cower,. The
public press had reared its bead to crush oppression and tyranny ; and
so long as a press continued to exist in. the land (and England would be
deprived of her character for liberty if it were abolished) he sanguinely
hoped that its power would be exercised in the detection of error—the
prevention of tyranny—and the succouring of the injured and the op-
pressed. such was the being, end, and aim of the press of England,
and such, he trusted, it would fearlessly remain to the end of time. Al.
though these were his sentiments concerning the public press, he could
not, at the same time, help joining his Learned Friend in deprecating
the publication of any statements calculated either to excite prejudice in
the public mind, or to defeat the ends of justice. He was satisfied,
however that the gentlemen whom he had the honour to address, pos-
sessed minds incapable of being influenced by prejudice, and . that they
would discharge their important, their solemn duty, with impartiality,-
and according to the evidence adduced before them, and on that alone.
He could not but congratulate the unfortunate prisoners—for unfortunate
under any circumstances they must be considered—that they then
breathed the pure atmosphere of an English Court of Justice, that they
were tried before British Judges by a British Jury, who would not eon-
Oct on ex-pane statements, and without the fullest and most deliberate
consideration, and that punishment could not be inflicted on them with-
out their having been first heard in their defence. He could not help
observing on the difference between this tribunal and that mockery of
justice, the Court of Inquiry, held on board the Inglis. Hers every
allegation must be proved—there persons were decreed to undergo tor-
tare the most abominable, on an unsupported charge, at the discretion
ef the judges of this precious " Cuddy Court," who, on their own
showing, possessed neither mercy nor humanity. He agreed with the
proposition of the Learned Gentleman who conducted the prosecution,
and who discharged his duty as an Advocate with equal ability and
humanity, that wholesome punishment was absolutely necessary
to the proper discipline of a ship ; but then he differed with the
Learned Advocate on the nature and character of that punish-
ment. The Captains of ships had, undoubtedly, a right to en-
force proper discipline among their crews; but then, it was to
be remembered, that in doing so their own conduct should be
irreproachable. The compact between the captain and his crew was
mutual, and it was as imperative on the one, as oa the other, to observe
it. In the navy, punishment was never inflicted without full and fair
inquiry ; but it was, as it appeared front the details of this case, widely
different on board merchant ships, where the Captain was raised to the
situation of an aristocratical despot and tyrant. The same obligation
which bound a crew to obedience, by the saute principle also bound the
Captain to the due observance of humanity and propriety of conduct :
and should the latter violate his duty be was answerable for all the
consequences which might flow from his own misconduct. This was
no idle theory of his own, but would be found supported by the im-
mortal Locke, who so beautifully and so truly explained the compact
width bound all descriptions of societies together. Was, he would
ask, any such compact observed by the Captain of the bele, or did not
thee high and cruel minded plebeian,as soon as he quitted theßritish shores,
lay aside the obligation imposed upon him, not only by social law, but
by the law of his country, and convert himself into a most heartless and
Memorable tyrant ? The prisoners were charged, the Jury should un-
derstand, with conspiracy and mutiny, but had not their severe
rulers themselves, one and all, acknowledged that the prisoners bad been
perfectly obedient until the cruelties exercised towards then) had rendered
their situations absolutely intolerable and unendurable ? Goaded na-
ture could no longer submit to ouch provocation as they hourly received
—such indignities as were daily practised towards these men ; and was
it, therefore, extraordinary that the result which had taken place daps
petted ? It was gratifying to him, and it would, he doubted not, bee
equally gratifying to the country, to know that this peassenties bad nest

body of British merchants were absolved front the public odium which
must attach to those who brought forward so initialise, so unjust a

thought it ought by all means to be encouraged and enforced, bus ass

again called the attention of the Jury to the nature of the dory

Wyatt then took Rose by the collar, and dragged him aft; he ordered

Of Mims Service on that day. In the afternoon heard the cry of a boy
evabud. He immediately went on deck, and was told that the boy
Bowes had been sent on the spanker boom and fell overboard. It was
extremely improper to send such a boy there in such weather. The
boy was drowned, the sea running so heavy at the time that it
was impossible to save him. Mr. Palowatt then ordered Lally to
bring the trysail aft on the quarterdeck. One of the crew did
something, upon which Mr. Mowatt said to Lally, " You d.-41 Irish
son of a b--, what are you doing there ?" Lally spoke up, and
said, " I hope, sir, there are as good Irishmen as Englishmen on
board." The Captain told him to bold his tongue ; upon which he
(Lally) said " Who can bear to be called an Irish son of a b--." Capt.
Dudman immediately ordered his grog to be stopped, and Lally said,
" You may stop it to boudoir." The Captain immediately ordered him
on the poop, sad directed the master at arms to put him in irons. When
the irons were brought Lally said, "He was a British subject and would
hinder any person from putting him in irons if he could, as he had dose
nothing." The Captain called for assistance, and the mater boatswain,
and gunner came and put Lally in irons. Witness walked away, and
presently heard Lally sing out murder." The principal part of the
new were below at the tine; on Idly calling out murder they one and
all rushed on the quarter deck, and from thence to the poop; Wells,
Cole, and Murray, were undressed when they came upon deck; Har-
rison was at the wheel; Captain Dudman came forward with a drawn
sword, and some of the crew asked him to release Lally, and said that
there bad been too much Bogging and punishment on board &beady, and
that the crew would not stand it any longer, and that they wished b

replied, D--is all taws ; I punish by a law of my own, sad aoa as-

said that hs was sorry for what had happened, and that he would behove
batter to them foe the future, and the men then went to their duty as
usual, and nothing farther particular happened until 23 days after, when
they got to St. Baena • they then had a double allowance of grog served
out to them. The Captain went on board some of the other ships that
night, and afterwards some soldiers came on booed; the soldiers loaded
their muskets, and fixed their bayonets, and the prisoners were taken
out of the ship. On the 2d of July, the Wes= of lit. Helena

Governor said if he had his will he would shoot one-half of and
blow the other half overboard. Six of the crew were Gonad after that.
The punishment was inflicted by the boatswains' mates of other vessels,
and Captain Dudman stood by and said, you are flogging mutineers—
do your duty. The Captain and officers were in the habit of using the
meet disgusting language to the crew, and the general treatment they
nceival was brutal, violent, and savage.

•
Croas.examined by Dr. Losntstoros.—Had received his wages fur
the present voyage ; never was Bogged in his life. Starting is a cons..
mon thing on board ship with a rattan, but not with a thick rope. The
crew have a right to complain to the Captain when threatened to be
started; none of the crew did so; they knew it would be useless.
Whatever Captain Dudman said the dicers always stuck to. (Loud
Laughter.)
By a Juryman.--The prisoners conducted themselves in a seaman-like
manner before the Bth of June. Never heard the crew threaten to bring
the Captain to trial for his conduct towards them.
Henry Hammond was then called, and females were ordered to leave
the Court. As soon as they were gone, the witness stated some lan-
guage made use of by Mr. Mowatt to Rose, one of the crew, of a most
disgusting nature, accompanied by an assault of a nature that we cannot
describe.
William Robson was next called, and proceeded to state various acts
of cruelty on the part of Captain Daman towards his crew.
Mr. ALLEY objected to this mode of examination. If the Captain
had ill-treated his crew, the Courts of Law were open to them. The
question the Jury had to try was, whether they had not been guilty of
mutiny ? The Learned Counsel had no right to call witnesses to justify
their conduct.
The Learned Judges consulted together, and while they were
doing so,
Mr. CLARKSON, with considerable warmth, said, my Lord I shall
call no more witnesses': that is my ease ; I have plenty more ready.
The Learned Judges requested Mr. Clarkson would proceed to call
them.
Thomas Moody, an officer of the Thames Police, was then examined,
and stated by the desire of the Magistrates be went to Capt. Dudnian,
at the Jerusalem Coffee-house, and told him that the Magistrate re-
quested his attendance to give evidence against the prisoners; upon
which Capt. Dudman asked him if he had a summons to compel his
attendance; and on his sepiying in the negative, Capt. Daman mid,
then I shall not go. Witness said, why then what is to be done with
the primness; and Capt. Dadaists replied, Oh d—n them, do what you
like with then.
Mr. CLAllllOlL—This is my Mt OD the part of the prisoners. I
have several more witnesses In attendance, but I will not mil dress.

Dr. LOSIIIIIISTON then rose to reply at half-past lye o'clock. The
learned gentleman observed that these who had conducted the deletes
of the prisoners bad no reins to complein of the cum perused on
the present scasien, en the parte the peasseedea, as every lades& had
bees given to them. The conduct of die primers bad been atomz
to be justified, on the petted of the ill-usage the rheum
from Captain Dudman—tbat was sot the question the Jury had to tur
they bad only to decide whether or not the prisoners warecsriongf the
charge preferred against themto
overturn the discipline of the ship, and to force the Ca to re-
lease a mariner whom he bad ordered to be pat in tress.
He would ask the Jury whether that charge had set been
most distinctly and clearly proved spinet the prisoners. Anemia,

such entry would have come to the knowledge d the crew, and in
their state of excitement, would have induced them to fly into open
resistance, knowing that by such entry it was the intention of the
to bring them to punishment foe their conduct when they
2Ve ina
arrived England. The Learned Gentleman then recapitulated a great
portion of the evidence on both sides, and commented upon it as be pro.
ceeded ; and in reference to the disgusting language alleged to have
been used by the Captain and his officers towards the crew, sad it was
constantly used on board every ship. The words were not meant in the
offensive sense some persons might suppose, but were common exprea.
done, (=stand used by sailers towards emit other. The Leaned
Gentleman a vesth which lasted nearly two hours. by stating
that if the Jury helloed the atom charged against the prisons to
have been committed by them, there was nothing in the conduct of
either the Captain or his officers that affirded them a justification for
their conduct ; and he therefore left the case in the bands of the Jury,
satisfied that they would properly dispose of it.
Mr. Justice BOSANGIIIT then summed up the evidence, and com-
menced by stating, that in a ease of such importance be should not con.
eider it a waste of time to repeat to the Jury the whole of the evidence
on both sides, and to which be begged the most serious attention. The
Learned Judge, at the conclusion of his summing up, called the parti-
cular attention of the Jury to tbe fact of an of the prisoners, when the
disturbance first began, calling out to the men, are you reedy f again
to their replying with three cheers. They would also sode . that when
the Captain promised that a Court of Inquiry should be bold relative to
the conduct of Lally, the crew said they would have no more Courts of
Inquiry. These arcumstances, in his opinion, proved that a conspi-
racy existed among the crew, but of that the Jury would judge from the
evidence, and if they entertained any doubt upon the subject, would
give the prisoners the benefit of it. He had no doubt but that their
verdict would be such as to satisfy their own consciences, and that they
would perform their duty as regarded the prisoners at the bar, and also
as regarded the public.
At a quarter past ten o'clock, the Jury retired to consider their
verdict.
A little after one o'clock this morning the Judges came into Court,
and the Jury entered soon afterwards.
The Clerk of the Arraigns having called upon them for their verdict,
the Foreman said that it was the wish of the Jury that he should read
it, and which he did as follows:
We find John Harrison and John Murray " Not Guilty ;" and we
find John Lally, John Jordan, Stephen Rose, John Steele, George
Wells, Samuel Coley John Carter, and Morris M'Cannon, Guilty of
riotously assembling and assaulting the Master, Capt. Dudman on the
Gth of June, and compelling the officers of the Inglis to release John
Lally ; but, under all the circumstances, we recommend them to the
merciful consideration tithe Court. • .

The Clerk of the Arraigns then took the verdict as guilty, on the
fifth, sixth, and seventh counts of the indictment.
The prisoners were called up for judgment, when,
Sir Christopher Robinson observed, that the prisoners-had been coo.
victed of an offence that was injurious to the service, and marked with
great criminality. Their own Counsel had not denied the general
character of the offence imputed to them--they had attempted to
justify themselves by imputing misconduct to their captain ; but
very little evidence had been adduced to prove it. He hoped that
the declaration of the law he was about to pronounce would correct the
erroneous impressions imbibed by themselves and other persons. The
Cowl were bound to award such a punishment as'would mark its °pi-
' nion of the offence of which they had been convicted. At the same
time it would attend respectfully to the recommendstlon of the Jury.
In consideration of the confinement they had undergone in their way
home from the Cape, and the Court being embus to enable them, as
early as possible, to return to their duties, sentenced each of them to be
imprisoned two calendar months in his Majesty's gaol of Navigate, and
to pay a tine of is. each.
Lally asked whether their wages would be paid at the expiration of
that period I,
The Court said they would give no opinion on that subject.
The Court adjourned at half-past one o'clock, to Thursday the 4th of
November.
