Of Captain Grindle. OF The ship Otd ColoRy. was
brought to a close in New York on Tuesday. the
Jury rendering a verdict Of ." Not guilty under the
statute. but Guilty o. cruelty toward che sail0ra.
OF course. under such a verdict. the prisoner was
at once discharged. II ia alleged that this result
was in aecnrdance with the Charge Of Judge
Woodruff. Who assured the iury that the Captain
had the right to demand labor from che sick sailor
Raw. and that his hanging him up 10 the Yards.

and shutting him up in a cell were simply the
result Of a want Of Judgment a. 20 the proper
modes Of punishment. and not necessarily a viola

for common sailors from their officers. The evil
dence bore hard against the Captain. and il il said

Captain for years. the general opinion Of all tie
