Trial JustIccs' COURTS.
A white man named Edward Kelly was car
ried to Trial Justice Mackey's office on Satur-
day, In a state of extreme weakness, with bis
face in q terribly lacerated and confused con-
dition. He made an affidavit to the effect that
he had been employed by James Gallagher,
keeper of a sailors boarding-house, as a
%s.runnern tor the house. Gallagher had In
duced him to sign under a false name articles
of agreement for shipment as q sailor, on the
bark W. II. Boyd, with the pretence that he
simply wanted to keep the place open until he
could find another person to fill 1t. On the
night of the 9th ultimo, the time appointed
for the sailing of the Boyd, he entered Gala
gher's house and found Gallagher and his wife
alone. Tae former presented q pistol to his
head, and threatened to kill him II he did not
consent to sail on the Boyd; that he objected TO
shipping on the Boyd, but offered TO consentif
Gallagher would pay him for his services asrun-
ner. Gallagher thereupon struck him with a
set of brass knuokles, knocked him down,
and while his vile held him upon the floor,
stamped him In the face with bis heel. The
two next tied and carried him in a boat to the
bark which was lying in the stream between
Castle pinckney and Fort johnson. Arrived
on board, he told the mate how Gallagher
had treated him, whereupon the sailors be-
came so incensed that they threatened to mob
Gallagher, and compelled him TO leave the
vessel. The captain Of the Boyd was then ab-
sent, but returned in the course of an hour,
when the anchor was weighed and the bark
set sail. Fearing that the captain would COM
pei him to sail in spite of the circumstances. he
was deferred from telling him the facts of the
case. Taking advantage of a favorable OPP
portunIty, however, he jumped overheard and
swan to the ship Edith, about half a mile dis
tsut, There he was treated kindly and re-
NAMED until Saturday, when the police au-
thorltles brought him to the City. Kelly was
sent to the hospital, and Gallagher was bound
over for examination as soon as Kelly is suf-
fclently recovered to be present.
