parel, on the 14th of February, 1813„.111st.on

The Prosecutor stated, that ha.was a dealer-in sfops;
on the day mentioned, he went on beard the
Hugh Inglis to sell some of his ware to.thesailors,
•and whilst between decks, the Prisoner sod three
others came to him, seized him, tore off his clothes,
heat him about the head with his own boots, and
literally stripped him; they concluded by rifling his
pockets of 171. in notes, and some sliver. He had
never been able to discover the Prisoner again till
this day, %hen he met him accidentally in the street,
and had him apprehended.
Mr. ALLEY, on behalf of the Prisoner, called four.
teen persons as witnesses ; they stated, that they had
frequently heard Moses complain of the violence he
had suffered on board of the Sir Hugh Inglis, but
he always accused a man, named Brown, as the
person who had robbed him. Several persons who
were on board at the time, swore that the Prisoner
was at a distant part of the ship, and never near the
place where tile disturbance took place. The Pri-
soner had, within these few days, come unexpectedly

'utor opinion the charge against the Prisoner was not
Nude out, and ordered hint to be discharged.
