the case Of the White Swallow "mutin-
esrs," had enough Of humanity and sense
in their composition to withstand the out
side pressure and the base appeals to their
commercial interests to render an honest,
righteous verdict and acquit the accused.
No verdict ever given in our Courts gave
more general satisfaction to the commu-
nifty, and I rejoice to learn that there Is
still Q Jury to be found who are not afraid
to do Justice to the down-trodden and
friendless in spite Of the interests involved.
The argument that "if the sailors were
aggrieved they had only to appeal to the
Courts" is the most specious humbug in
the world, for the simple reason that the
sailors were required to act instantly in
defense Of their lives, and could not afford
to wait for months for a chance Of redress,
and then see justice cheated through the
pardoning power, as in the Great Republic
case. One Of their number had already
been murdered, by being sent over the side
in q high sea, and washed away and
drowned; a good show they had indeed,
