THE LATE MARINE LIBEL SUIT.-NIssUs.
Editors: noticed an article In the local columns
Of your paper Of yesterday, headed Released
from Libel, ;" In which grea. injustice, uninten-
tionally no doubt, was done the libellant, Alex
ander Watt, and conclude the article in ques-
ton was furnished by Captain Bennett, (the de-
fondant) himself The facts in the case are
simply these: Watt was mate Of the schooner
Ann Jane, and had a claim against her for wages,
and Captain Bennett refusing to pay him, he
fled his libel and obtained process OF monition
and attachment the Marshal by virtue Of this
writ seized the vessel and placed Watt on board
her as guard. She was not released until the
Captain had given bond approved by one Of the
judges Of the Supreme Court OF tho District, In
double tho value Of the vessel, to pay whatever
may DO fonnd due to Watt on tho final bearing
of the case, and to abide by any order or decree
passed by the court In the case
On these terms the vessel was released and
when the testimony Is taken, and the case adju- |
Dictated, thon, and not till then will we DO ena-
bled to give an impartial and just account OF 1t.
Mr.. Watt Is, from ali accounts, hard working |
man. He Is poor, II is true but That rs no dis-
grace and he has not had the benefit of an edu' |
cation StE But, 10 my judgment a man may DO
both poor and ignorant aud yet honest.
The suit against Bennett Is still pending The
bond Is Watts security. And II Is neither safe,
wise, or proper, to judge Of the merits oil tho
case on the mere ipSe DIRT OF an interested
party AsBrRY LLOYD.
Attorney for Libellant.
