appeared that Doidge shipped in London, on the 13th of
December, 1841, for a trading voyage to New Zealand
and other places. He was to be paid wages at the rate of
£2 ss. per month. The vessel proceeded to Part Nichol-
son, and from thence to Port Nelson, in New Zealand.
She went from Port Nelson in ballast to Sydney. From
Sydney she sailed for Singapore, on which pa-sage the
vessel was lost, at Torres Straits, on the 19th of August
last. A quantity of property was saved, including two of
the boats, twenty-two barrels of beef, twenty-two kegs of
paint, and other goods, which sold for £2OO. The owners
admitted an order for £3 ss. Bd. up to the arrival at New
Zealand, to which place she had carried freight. As the
vessel went from New Zealand in ballast, it was con

Mr. Payne said the amount of wages was £200; the
