CAPTAIN OF
SCHOONER
ARRESTED

This morning there was hled with the
clerk OF the United States court in sd
miralty the complaint OF Svenneny Fors-
man, formerly one OF the crew of the
schooner Charles Fl. sprague, now in this
port
The suit was the outcome Of an al
Leged assault committed on the high
seas last November by the captain Ira
w Colbeth. and the complainant alleges
that he has been so MANNED and injured
as TO need the award OF damages.
He states that the Sprague made
trip from this city last October. going TO
Georgetown and returning TO Norwich
Ct on the return trip on or about Nov.
6th. while he was on watch al night. the
mate OF the vessel came 10 him and
threatened him. using obscene and abus-
I've language and offering 10 fight him.
Leaving him for a few moment heturn-
ed with the captain. who struck him
and chased him over the rail- the only
preventive from drowning being the fact
that the mate caught his feet and res
cued him. While PROSTATE on the deck
he was beat, almost insensible with a
Delaying pin and allowed TO go the re-
mainder OF the trip without medical as
sistance. The assault and the neglect
following so injured him that he has suf-
fered since and asks damages 90 the
amount Of $500. When II was found that
the Sprague was about 10 sail. the cap
tain was arrested. and on examination
gave bond to the amount Of 5000 for ap-
pearsnce in court when the case comes
for trial, lie was then released
