Sailor Case.

The case of Walters, the sailor on
the Andrew Welch, who was arrested
Tuesday afternoon on the charge of as
sault and battery on the mate of the
vessel came up in the Police Court
yesterday forenoon, but was postponed
until today. Walters has retained a
lawyer and will fight his case. The
mate seems somewhat indisposed to
prosecute the sailor, but the captain
will push the matter to the fullest ex-
tent of the law. He alleges that the
sailor did, while the mate was in COM
mand of the men at a critical time, off
the coast of this Island, call the mate
all manner of vile names and that, up
on the retaliation of the mate, did seize
and beat him shamefulIy and swear in
the presence of the captain, to kill him.
