Several weeks ago a sailor named
Charles Brohs met with an accident
while working on board of a vessel in
port, resulting in the breaking of his arm,
when he was sent to the hospital for treat
ment. Before the arm was strong enough
for the man to work the vessel was ready
to sail, when the Captain had the seaman
placed on board ship, despite his protest.
He left the vessel and the Captain
had him arrested and lodged
in Jail. The matter was brought
to the attention of the court yesterday,
by means Of a writ of habeas corpus, and
after hearing the testimony and argu-
ments of the respective counsel the iudg-
ment of the court was reserved for future
delivery.
Thomas Hunter, a native of Great
Britain and Ireland, was admitted to the
rights of an American citizen after TAX
ing the oath prescribed in such cases.
