allowed to leave the 'Mersey, with so large a number
of human beings on board, we are at a loss, unless
it should prove that the powers given to their
special guardian are insufficient. A searching
inquiry is imperatively called for upon this
and that inquiry, we trust, will be promptly gon,
into by the only authority which can institute it,
viz., by Government.
