Mr.. HUGH MCDONALD, Mate of the ship
L0re1zo-who attracted the unfavorable at
tention of our citizens by an assault on a
grief by being prosecuted in the Police Court,
and sued in Admiralty, besides. During the
hearing before the Police Court, an American
citizen of African descent, afforded much
amusement, and some trouble, TO the Court
and counsel Mr.. Boyce appears to have
been cook of the vessel, and claimed to be a
Baltimorean. Being requested to take the
oath, he replied: al desire, Sir, to make
plain statement of the truth, without oath,

Boyce making the usual affirmation, Mr..
Stanley proceeded TO elicit the testimony of
Mr.. Boyce, under diiiculties-Mr. B. afford

was Of the most desultory description, and
the Judge would try TO call him TO the sub

and grammatical manner, l will answer

the Magistrate sent him over for ten
days to reside with Captain Brown, to re-
feet upon the singularity Of the organization
of human society, which reduces the Auto
crat Of the Ship's Galley to such q condition.

In Re Estate Of NdksGdpd, (w.)
Motion for new trial, argued by agreement
before the full Court.
The appellant, Kaoaopa, claimed to be en-
titled as heir TO the estate, by virtue of being
the adopted daughter of the deeedent At
the hearing before the Chancellor, sitting in
Probate, 1t was adjudged that the appellant
had not established her claim to be an
adopted daughter. Upon this issue of fact,
a trial was had at said term Of this Court,
and a verdict rendered by the jury as follows:
"Eia ka mea holo ia makou ka poe Juire,
ma ko makou noonoo makai ana: Ike hooiaio
aku mel makou he keiki hanai o Kaoaopa
(w.,) ma Puhalahus o. a me Nakuapa

following is the verdict of the Jury upon
due consideration: we affirm that Kaoaopa
(w.,) was a 'keiki hanar of Puhalahua g.
and Nakuapa wy
W. c. JONES FOR APPELLANT.
l. To set aside verdict, where there is
evidence on both sides, there must be such
a preponderance of evidence as to satisfy the
Court that there was either an absolute mis-
take on the part of the jury, or that they
acted under the influence of prejudice, pas
sion, or corruption. [Cohen VS.. Dupont,

A LITTLE MORE THAN EvEN.-In attempt
ing to take the anchor of the ship War Hack,
(outside) on Sunday morning last, the chain
parted about five fathoms from the anchor,
and of course both were lost. The other
anchor was dropped and another procured
from one of our merchants, to replace the
one lost. On Monday, in getting under way,
an anchor Of the size of the one lost with
about 30 fathoms of chain attached, was
"hooked to" and safely taken on board
the ship, thus making the loss of the first
anchor more than even, by about twenty-fi five
fathOms of chain.

WE were shown yesterday the flower Tor
rather cluster of fowers,) of species of
ginger, from one of the plants imported by
DR.. Hillebrand, from India, which we think
can challenge any thing in the floral line for
beauty. This flower upon close examination
proves to be 4 cluster of Dahlia-like leaves,
from between which spring innumerable
gorgeously colored flowers, which gives the
whole the appearance of a beautiful boquet
A SEAMAN belonging to the Var HaWk on
Saturday night last took the fore hatch of
the ship with the intention of navigating
himself to the shore on the somewhat novel
float. The man not being found on shore, it
was supposed that he had drifted off to sea
or become food for sharks. Not so, how
ever, he managed to navigate himself through
the surf landing on the small Island at the
Quarantine Ground, from whence he pro-
ceeded on his travels and was taken yester-
day at Halawa. As the War Hdick sailed on
Monday, he will probably have the pleasure
of going 10 sea in another vessel
