A DAY IN THE ADMIRALTY CouRr.-
A coaster, named James Barry, called on
us Yesterday, and stated that on Saturday
morning. in coming up from Chester, in
the schooner Dolphin, he passed over q
net--se,, as he believed, mile and half
but, as the owner acknowledged, a full
mile from the shore. The injury done to
il was slight, if any, and The party claimed
but El los. for the damage. This Barry
refused 10 pav-supposing that by sorle
cheap process The merits of The case woQld
be tried on; but, 10 his astonishmeft,
found himself in the Admiralty Court. He
then went 10 lawyer, who, as most law
yers do, we believe, advised hin 10 pay
anything demanded, and ee, out of thai,
and The matter was settled YESTERDAY, after
one day spent in the delightful region to
which he had been introduced, by the pay
mrnt of t,ce!re pounds thirteen shiiiings
and sirpence. Without pretending to
Judge CT the merits Of the dispute, we cam
not help observing that 10 make a man
pay Ell s.. 81. as costs upon a claim Of
Ell los, is an excellent mode of impressing
his mlnd with The value Of legal tribunals,
and to give him an exalted idea oi the wis
dom and parental kindness of the Govern
nent under which he lives. I, NAV be all
right, bnt it will be very difficult TO make
the sufferer think so--it may be Justice,
hut we doubt il James Barry and his
friends will regard it as anything less than
robbery. -Nouascoiian.
