their voyage from India to England , ,
When they were off the Cape of Good Hope,. the
Scrang was ordered to the main-top-malt bYthoCap-
tain, although it was not his business, but the Las-
cars, to take the 'key Otte of the,royal mast when the
main-topmast broke which caused the Strang to fall
overboard, and he was unfortunately drowned.
When the Java Was anchored off Batavia, Mr.
Brown, the chief mate, and" Mr. Briscoe, went on

day, when his face appeared extremely swelled and
bloody--his clothes also appeared bloody, which was.
supposed to proceed from the wounded state 'of his
late, icc. Darting their stay at Batavia, thirteen of
the ship's crew, who were Portuguese, ran away from
the ship. While they were at Trincomaler nine Las.
cati escaped from it. In the whole during the voyage
thirty-seven men deserted-from the ship. -When they
were at the Sauger.Roads, there were one hundred
and twenty-five Lascars on board, including the St-
rang, seventy-two of the Portugueie nation. During
the voyage from India to England, there were 25
Lascars died, including five who died. while they
were sailing from Portsmouth to being anchored in
the River Thames.
Gulamalee declared, after being repeatedly asked,
that he had never known that tl-arre had been a Sur.
geon on board, from the time they left the Saeger
Roads, or in any part of their voyage to their arrival
in-England, although a Mr. Kingston rose from a
seat in the Office, said he was a surgeon,"; and bad
been on board the Java. Gulamalee was tad what
he said, but he denied having seen him on-board.—
The Java remained in the Sanger Roads about 20
days after Ramos:no died. When the ship was at
Trincumale, he ran away from the ship there, and
be-was absent eleven days; be was caught and
brought back, when he received three dosen lashes,
and was put in irons for two days. About the same
time Mounsey, the gunner, was flogged.
At that port he complained to a Judge of the treat-
ment of Ramsame, who would not listen to his com-
plaint, saying he was a culprit himself, having de-
serted from his ship, the Captain having previously
complained to the Judge, as the Lascar called him,
but it could not-be ascertained what Officer he was ;
the Captain had offered a reward for him. When the
ship was-at Calcutta he wrote a letter to complain of
The treatment of Ramsame, but had no opportunity
of sending it by the post-boat. When be came to
England he applied to Mr. Murray, an Agent, to
kitow how to proceed to get redress for the treatment
of P. Ramsame : he said he would write to the Cap
-
min. on the subject. Mr. Murray afterwards advised
him and-the other witnesses to go to the East India
House, and exhibit their complaint there, which they
accordingly did—they attended' there a number of
days, they saw the Captain and other Officers there,
the Captain had two of the witnesses put into prison
because they had a dispute with him about their
wages. They were not examined at the India House
upon the subject.
Gulamalee and two other witnesses agreed in-being
of opinion, that Ramsame died in consequence of the
' blOws he had received from the prisoner.
The fourth and last witness, on being asked his
opinion as to the cause of Ramsame's death, replied,
, he was no doctor, and could not tell.
The necessary evidence for the prosecution being
gone through,
Mr. PooLay addressed the Magistrate on behalf of
the prisoner, and said, that be hoped on account of
the contradictory evidence, and them being no prina
that the deceased died of the blows received from the
prisoner, and he was not prepared with evidence it
rebtit what had been said against his divot, as there
was no other person present, he. hoped this would out
be thought a case fit to be sent to trial.
Mr. READ replied, and said it was in proof before
hirn that the deceased never moved from the place he I
received the blows from the prisuner,.and.he died the
same night ; he should certainly send it
,fur tustheei
investigation. He also refused bail, and committed
the prissier to Newgate for trial. •
Mr. Jones stated, that the Admiralty Sessions would
probably be in December or January.
GVILDUALLI-ErYTStel day- Mr. Jona, a person of
respectable connection, was privately examined be-
fore Mr. Alderman GooDsituenr, on a charge of
committing a rape on a young woman of interesting
appearanee, servant to a lady in the straw-bonnet bu-,
sines:. The circumstances, we understand, are of
an aggravated stamp, and it was brought forward
by a police officer who bad been consulted by the in-
jured party. Mr. Jones was remanded for further
examination this day.

respectable appearance, was charged with pot steal-
ing.- Mr. Knightly, landlord of the Axe public.
house, Grub-street, stated, that the prisoner went to
his house on 'Saturday, and called for half a pint of
beer. Soon after they missed the pot, and the land-
lord's wife said she was sore the prisoner had it in
her 'possession. The landlord could not believe that
a woman of the prisoner's appearance could commit
Ithe offence, and lie allowed her to leave the house.
Hie wife, however, followed, and procured a consta-
I ble, who found the pot in her pocket. The prisoner
in her defence Said, she was fatherless and distressed.
She was married to a labourer, and resided at Ed-
monton, but, derived little assistance from his earn-
ings. She had three children to support, and neces.
sity alone had made her commit the crime. The
Wqrthp Alderman observed if she could get any re-
f spectable person to speak for her, it might have some
weight with the prosecutor, who certainly had strong
ground to proceed against her. The prisoner said
in answer, that she would rather suffer all the severity
of the law than let any friend know the situation to
which she had brought herself. The Magistrate
warned her, that unless -.she took the chance of cha.
ratter tos get out of li.r dilemma, she would. be tried
at the Old Bailey,. and, perhaps transported... Her
having a family, he said, induced him to shew her all
the lenity in his power. Th prisoner, who appeared

and Matthew Jorelam, three boys under 9 Yeare;elf,
age, were charged with breaking into the apartments'
of Mr. Holship, a gentleman who devotes much bli
his time to antiquities, and breeding of birds. He
stated that he occupied the upper part of a honse in
Crack-lane, Smithfield, and oa his return from the
country, it le* days since, he found his study had,
been btaken open, the lock forced of his chest, and
various ankles, principally brass ornaments, taken
away. That was not all the injury sustained, He
had long been in the habit of breeding and toadies
choice Canary birds. In an attic he had not less thhe
two hundred birds of the finest plumage and song.-
Alarmed by a noise over his lead, he went up gaits,
and found the prisoners knocking down the bird cages
with a large stick. The loss he bad sustained on the
whole amounted to at least thirty pounds. The chil-
dren had watched where his servant placed the keys
of the aviary, and haying seined theni, unobserved,
were enabled to commit the mischief. His

prim..
object was to rt iltreelteyi which they had taken,
but all the threats and questions put by the Magis-
trates, could not
.prudnce them. The boys told a
childish spiry, and said they had emit away the at ti-
cles, parties huiy the keys; for a stick. Two of them
were restomkto their parents, who did not appear to
have any knowledge of Omit' pranks. Sullivan, the
other boy, who was the ringleader, was remanded for

the day cleared up, and the boats started amidst the
shouts and cheerings of the friends of the parties ; the
first heat was pretty well contesteo, Messrs. Green's
boat coming in about her length first. At this time
the steam packet xi rived, on her passage from Nor-
wich, and after passing the company, tacked about
in fine style, and came up the river again, which ad-
ded greatly to rho interest of one cf this most beau.
tiful scenes. The sec lid heat then took place, in
which Myssrs. Green's boat kept the lead, and bear
her vattagonist with ease, contiog in with ovo oats up.
