FRENCH INJUSTICE.
PRIseN SNIP, Point Petre, ,
February %, 1908. {

DEAR FRIEND,
take the liberty to embrace this opportu-
nifty to inform you of my present situation,
confined on board this ship as prisoner.-On
the 10th of August last sailed from this port
in the snip Julia Ann, bound to New York,
with number of French passengers about
ten miles distance, small boat came along
side with two men, one Of which came on
board. My mate demanded his business, ne
answered he wished passage to New York
At this present time my ship was under the
cover of an English briggs guns myself in
the cabin putting my papers in order to be
examined by said brig. My mate came down
in the cabin, and informed me there was
man on board [who] demanded passage
On seeing the man ! found it to be the same
who he'd applied to ME before, and whom
denied his passage Oh account OF his not ha-
wing passport ORR cred him to go into his
boat. My people answered, that the man on
board had ordered the man in the boat to put
off. This was done, knowing there was no
way to get rid of MIN. The next saw was
boat coming from the brig. [They] took
some of my men out, and put an officer on
board, and ordered he for Antigua, acconpa-
MED by schooner Of ten guns. On my arri-
val at Antigua, I noted a protest, which is in
the hands Of Mr.. Daniel Beach, me rchaut, Of
New York. My ship and cargo were acquit-
ted; all my nsn passengers were taken
out excepting enc, which was Mr.. Dennis,
by an order from, admiral Cochrane. Three
oethe passengers are here present, and those
men have sworn before the court that made
an abandonment OF them TO the English. On
account Of these false dispositions, my ship
and cargo are seized, and am condemned to
pay ten thousand dollars, Not being in nly
power to pay so large sum, must depend
on my friends to regain my liberty (which IS
sweet to me, as | have wife and two chill.
dren. | am an American, bora in Boston
l wish you to do me the aa*or to make nay
horrid situation known TO the New Ennland
society, that they may petition to the secre-
tary of state, that government may demand
me, my mate and people. Mr.. Daniel Beach
and E. NJ. StiIlwelI, are ray owners in New
York. My owners will give security TO go.
yernment for the appeal in France, and my
government will give security here. On these
sonditions, myself, ship and people will be
given up. My hopes are fixed on your friend
ship towards your countrymen, B your COM
pliance with my request shall meyer be for
gotten by your humble servant.
