THE ALLEGED MUTINY UN BOARD THE INGLIS EAST

INDIANAN.

Yesterday another application was made at the Thames Pollee-office,
to Mr. BALLIWTINZ, the sitting Magistrate, for a warrant to -
head the seven men who were charged with mutiny, and liberated by
Captain Itscassu. on Friday last, in consequence of no one appear-
ing against them.
Captain Dudman, commander of the Inglis, now satisfied the Ma-
gistrate that he was not aware the men were In custody until he read the
newspa
•giving an account of their having been brought up and dis-
c. RALLANTInit said he understood from Captain Dudman, when
the three seamen, Rose, Jordan, and Laney, were examined, and
committed in default of bail, that they were the ringleaders, and the
other prisoners whom be charged at St. Helena were inferior in point of
offence. Was that the case Cr not ? _ _ _ _

Captain Dudman said the seven men against whom be applied for a
warrant were certainly inferior in point of offence to the three committed
for trial ; but were more or less active during the riot on board.
Mr. Lawless, on behalf of Mass Borrodaile, the owners of the In-
glis, mentioned several overt acts of mutiny against the seven men.—
One of them, John Carter, attempted to strike Mr. Herbert during the
disturbance on load on the 7th of June last. Another, Wells, threw
up his cap, gave three cheers, and said, "Are we all agreed ?" The
names of the others were John Harrison, John Steel, Morris Mg/Un-
non, Samuel Cole, and John Murray, all of whom were more or lass se.
tive in releasing Laney, who had been placed in irons, and setting the
authority of the officio and commander at defiance.
Mr. BALLANTINI inquired if the men did not do their duty, and
navigate the ship to St. Helena after the disturbance

stances, he should not grant a warrant against the men; he saw no se.

them at the Admiralty
The parties then retired.
Mr. Flower, of Purnival's Inn, attended to oppose the application.
He has retained Mr. C. Phillips, Mr. Adolphus, and Mr. Curwood, on
behalf of the three seamen, who are in confinement in Clakenweil
Prison for want of bail. Their shipmates are supporting them in gaol.
