of the previous days proceedings having been read,
The Judge Advocate said he had had conver-
ss,;on wi,h Mr.. Duer, who had wished him TO be
more explicit on certain point, and he therefore
read az follows:
al desire to be understood. The whole respoa-
sibity of The conduct of this case rests with my
self; and its mode of management, whether as
respects law or fact, has originated with myself
without the suggestion of any one, and in pursu-
ance of nv own understanding of the evidence De-
fore the Court of Inquiry, and my conception o,
my duty; which conception has been since enforced
by the express instructions of the Secretary OF the
Navy "to elicit the ,ciole truth, and do Impartial
Justice between the accused and their Country.
owe this explanation TO the friends of Mr. SPen-
GER, whom it is insidiousy sought TO represent as
Gland es,inely making me the agent of their pre-.
iuaices 1t is true, thar at the trial table list OF
questions was thrown me on the day before yester.
dav which I never looked at till after Court, and
all of which had anticipated by my own cola
ton of the testimony but one, which have not
vet put. But wish publicly to state that no In
tuition can furnish me with facts; and to do this
case justice, openly invite the friends OF MidshiP
man Spencer, of Boatswain's Mate Cromwell, and
of seaman Small TO furnish me with any intorma-
ton likely to make this case thoroughly examined; !;
and if think it proper, fair and legal, 1t shall be
fearlessly used, if not effectively"
At the suggestion of Commander Mackenzie that
the same invitation should be extended to all who
could throw any light on the mutiny,
The Judge Advocate added: likewise, in the
same spirit, desire any information from the other
side to show the existence and nature OF the ml-
tiny, and the proper conduct of Commander Mac
kenzie and his officers.
The cross-examinstisn of Mr.. Wales BY the
Judge Advocate was thea continued, but without
elicting any further testimony to that given before
the Court of Inquiry as already reported and pub
lished.
A number of questions were also propounded to
the witness by the Court in answer to one of which
he said" There were orders to let MIR. Spencer
have what books he wished to read during his con-
finement, but don't know that he asked for any
he passed his time sitting down by the arm
chest"
Commander Mackenzie then propoundes seve-
raj questions to the witness, one Of which was as
follows:
@. Do you know anything of Small and Cron-
well having been engaged in slavers ?"
To this question the Judge Advocate objected
Mr.. Duer held that the question was entirely
proper and legal, and highly important, as going to
show that they were from the nature of their pre-
vious employment those to whom Spencer would
be likely to apply to join in such scheme
The Court was then cleared and on its reopen

Commander Mackenzie then presented the fol-
lowing to the Court:
"The accused offered to prove that beth Cromwell and
Small by their own admission TO several witnesses had
we'd in savers-that Cromwell had been captured IN sa'
yer aud confined n the Moro Case-and that these lacts
requests that il this evidence be not allowed this offer may
be placed on the record ofthe Court"
This was ordered on record, and the further ex-
animation of witness proceeded with. Nothing
of importance, however, was elected, and his tes-
tmony having been read over to and corrected by
him,
William Newell, rated ordinary seaman, was
called to prove that he had seen Spencer and
Wales sitting on the booms conversing for about
two hours in the evening of the day previous to
Spencer's arrest, and also that he saw some man
come up and 90 to them, but he could not recos
niZe who it was.
Henry Stremmell, first class apprentice, was
then called to prove the same fact, with the addi
ton of recognizing the man who came up to Spen-
Ger and Wales as being Small.
Ward M. Gazeley, first class apprentice, was
then called, and confirmed the statement of the
two previous witnesses.
The Court then adjourned till 10 o'clock this
(Friday) morning.
