and other seamen of the British brig Manitoba,
who are charged with piracy and mutiny took
place yesterday in New York
Captain Alfred r. Durkeen was the first wit
ness. He was examined by ex-Judge Beebe,
counsel for the British Consul. The captain
deposed that some trouble broke out among
his men on the LIST of May while the brig was
on its way from Cardiff to this port he went
among the men, and found that they had re-
fused to work; witness inquired the reason
when they said they would work if he
gave them swatch and watch" q nautical term
signifying that they required regular hours of
duty; the captain then told them that they had
mutlnied, and that his only remedy was to put
them In irons; went to the cabin and brought
his revolver; on returning TO deck, he said to
the men, II shall put you in irons;" enc of the
men, Jeremiah Fitzpatrick, held out his arms
and said, Here, put me in irons" The other
men then rushed on witness, and witness
dropped the irons and let go of Fitzpatrick and
then put his hands in his pocket for his revolver
In the hurry of the moment the revolver went
off accidentally; the men then grappled with
him, and he held his revolver above his head
he fired a second shot and Thomas Shea caught
him with one hand by the throat and in the
other marlin-pin; witness fired at She's, buI
the shot had no effect previous to this Shea haCt
already struck him two or three times; the men
then wrenched the pistol from witness, and hb
seized beiaying-pin to defend himself; during
the struggle witness received several seTe fe
wounds and bled profusely; the men were nna Nv

others.

purchased q revolver. In short time he re-
turned and resumed work. A few moments
thereafter the report of pistol was heard.
Before the startled neighborhood knew whence
It came, another report rang out. The jealous
Bohemian had stepped over to where Catharine
was working, and in their native language,
bidding her farewell, pointed the revolver at her
