the back with a chain hook, swearing he would split 'l‘hom son down with said hook, or have his life—t at Thompson, as soon as he got clear of the mate, proceeded on shore to com- plain to the Mayor of this ill-usage, and that the mate called him to come back to his wor but he proceeded to make such complaint.

The owners of the Bnrque attempted to argue.the court into the belief, that because when at sea, if a cook becomes disabled and the crew cook in turn this some practice by usage be- came a Law in part also! but they did not give the court an tangible grounds for their or u- ments, which created a doubt in the mindset the court as to the propriety or ex ediency of adopting such usage as a law; an the court therefore deemed it prudent, to take time be- fore giving judgment. Meantime the mate was ordered for his violent threats toward Thompson, to give security in the sum of £100 to kee the peace and be of good behaviour to- ward hom son for three months—'l‘hoinpson was dirocte to proceed back to his ship and attend to his duties—the owners becoming‘ sureties for the mate.

Ma Charles Keer and John Thomson were notiﬁed to attend the court this day, to hear its decision in the above case. They were accordingly in attendance and the court pro- ceeded as follows: “John 'l‘hompson, the alleged disobedience of orders of Charles Keer, mate of the Barque Isabel, under which you were arrested and brought here, has not been

roved , you shipped as an ordinary sea- man at small wages, and whatever the custom may be at sea with respect to cooking, when a cook becomes disabled, the court are of opinion,

such custom should not hold when the vessel g

is in port, where abundance of Cooks can easily be had. Under these circumstances, the complaint against you is dismissed, but you will bear in mind, that the decision now made known will have no lit-aring on you, with respect to your following the custom of Cook- ing when at sea, (it such be the custom) in the event of a cook becoming disabled; vou can now proceed to your vessel and attend to your duties and to the lawful commands of the officers of your ship.”

“ Charles Kcer, the court has no uiiliculty in deciding that you are guilty of a most violent and brutal assault on John Thomson: you a powerful man and lie buta boy; you had no ri ht whatever to raise your hand to him even if ic had disobeyed yoiir/au_-ful orders: your re- medy for such disoh-.-diencc was the iiitvi-l'-Pi-in-«:. of the law of the land; could you be jus-tilled in striking him at all and had slapped him with

our open hand the misconduct would not have been so great, but you were not justified in taking the law in your own hands and using brutal conduct toward him with your

ﬁsts, your feet, and tlieu striking him twice L

with n. chain hook ; consequently, your mis- conduct is a matter of too gross a nature to he

used over without some punishment; you have stated that on are a man having a large family, that this is the first time you have been brought before a court; the court have no reason to doubt your word, and therefore, will not inﬂict so heavy a line on you as the nature of the case would warrant ; it therefore senten- ces on to pay a fine of three pounds with costs, or be imprisoned one month, and that you stand committed till such fine and costs be
