HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, MAY 4.
. ,
• THE LOWTHIEH CASTLE.
Dr. LUSHIPOTON stated, that this was an action for
damages, brought by Michael Comerford, a mariner on
board this vessel, against Captain Baker, the master,
to recover compensation for alleged violent and wanton
'treatment of him by the said Captain. The damages
were valued at 2001. The libel stated, that the com-
plainant was taken on board this ship in October, 1823,
as an able seaman, and that she arrived off (*eta in
April or May, 1824. The cause of complain! arose
whilst on this station. The complainant was engaged
with others in handing wood, when he was tepoached
by Mr. Hawkins, the sixth officer, with doing his bir.,i-
ness lazily, and his exertions were contrasted with those
of another seaman, named Long, who was said to do
twice as much in the same time. Comerford replied,
that ." Long went on too fast to last long." Com-
plaint of this was made to the superior o,fic:.r. and Co-
merford, for no other fault, was put into irons for s;a
days, and received thirty•six lashes. These were the
leading features of the charge, but some minor ciicum.
stances of aggravation were added—such' as the ab-
sence of the Captain from the Cow t of Inquiry which
was held, his refus'ng Comerford a draught of water
whilst undergoing the punishment, and a surgeon af-
terwards to dress his wounds. The degree of punish-
ment was said to be dispropertioned to the offence, and
for this the Court was called upon to award clamors.
Lord BTowat.t. wished to know to what extent it would be ad-
mitted that the Captain was warranted in inflicting punishment
volts seaman whets at sea?
iiIIr.LUSIIINOTON replied, that guided •by judgment
given in this Court, not long since, in the case of the
Agincourt, he had looked into the Common Law au-
thorities upon this subject, and he found the degree of
warrantable corporal punishment in such cases laid
down by Holt and his authorities, to be that which a
master might inflict upon his apprentice. He conceded
*reasonable degree of punishment, but was ready to
contend that in this case the punishment was extravagant.
Lord STOWELL said, this was the first time be had
heard that the master of a ship could n u inflict a
greater punishment upon the seamen under him, than
a tradesman could apply, to his apprentice. He asked
whether this was a Company's ship? •
Dr. Lumina:on admitted that it was a China ship.
Lord STOWELL said, a practice had certainly pre-
vailed of punishing men in the Company's serv:ce,
which was administered after a regular manner—,
namely, by the sentence of a Court of Inquiry ; all
whose proceedings, and a minute of the punishment,
were registered at the East India House. Hitherto no
Case had occurred in which the discretion of Captains
in this stroke had been impeached, and he was triwi -
ling to question in this Court a practice which had bee*
indirectly sanctioned by Courts of Law.
Dr. JENNIE, for the Captain, denied the charges, and
opened a case to chew that Comerford was an insolent,
lazy seaman, who was in the habit of disobeying the
commands of his Officers; and that the preservation of
order in the vessel required as example.

Dr. Lusurwarow then proceeded to read the evidence in the case,
which occupied the Court till its rising, at half-put one o'clock.

Lord NAPIRR appeared in the House of Lords on
Tuesday, avid gave his consent to the Hoperoun and
pandas Estate Bill ; also -for his infant children—his 1
lordship being abtast to leave the kingdom on the pub-
lic service.
According to the returns of superannuation allow-
ance's in public departments, just printed by order of
Parliament, Mr. E. H. LUSHINOTON has retired from the
Colonial Audit Commissionership, on a salary of 6001.
e•year ; his full salary was 10001. a-year, with seventeen
years and three quarters period of service.
. A young man, lately come of age, but not to years
of discretion, gave the other day the enormous price of
sewn hundred guineas for a cabriolet horse.
• B ONDSEY & ROTHERHITHE CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.
—The friends of these schools celebrated their anni-
versary festival yesterday, at the London Tavern. Mr.
Montan a. filled the Chair, supportel by the Hon.
Mr. PIM" O'CONNOR Dow, and several other Gentle-
men of respectability. There was a platform at the
end of the room, on which seats were occupied by a
considerable number of Ladies. The Learned Chairman
made several speeches in the course of the evening,
which were warmly remised. In-proposing the health
of the King, he said that, sincere as his wishes for
bis Majesty's health and long life had always been,
they were never more fervid than at the present moment.
—ln' the evening the children were introduced, and
paraded round the room, to the number of some hun-
dreds, male and female. The Rev. Mr. TIERNEY pro
flounced a glowing appeal on their behalf ; and a col
lection molt place which amounted to about 2001. t. 6
which 201. were given by Mr. BARCLAY, a Protestaot
Gentleman present, who avowed himself the warm
friend of Catholic Emancipation.
Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, as Mr. Web.
stir, of Whitechapel-road, was walking in Hackney
Marsh, he was attacked by :is ruffians, who demanded
his money, threatening him with instant death if he
refused. Mr. Webster gave them twelve shillings,
which, was all the money he had about him. They
then demanded his watch, which he refused to give up.
They knocked him down with a bludgeon, and two of
'them knelt on his breast, while one, who appeared to
,be the leader, gave ordin to cut his throat. Mr.
Webster, as may well be supposed, made a desperate
resistance, and wounded two or three of the villains
with his penknife. While the wraggle was going on,
a Gentleman was seen approaching, when the thieves
threw Mr. Webster into a ditch filled with water, and
ran off without the watch for which they attempted
the murder. The Gentleman came up just in time to
save him from suffocation. He, however, suffered
severely, his face being greatly lacerated in the at-
tempts to cut his throat, and his breast m .ch bruised.
Yesterday, about two o'clock, the remains of William
Mead, late foreman to the Hope Assurance Company,
who so unfortunately lost his life at the late fire in
Holborn, were removed from the engine-house, West
Smithfield, for interment at St. Saviour's, Southwark.
The mournful processing, proceeded down Ludgate-
hill, and along Blackftiars-bi idge,stopping for a moment
facing the office in New Bridge-sweet, which was closed
for the occasion, out of respect to a valuable servant,

him for the Leger. Adeliza, second; and Pigmy, third; beat
about a head• by Adeliza. Now Muleteer beat this Pigmy in a
