Jervis had given to me, as they considered it most disgraceful of any one under the circumstances to strike a man he had endeavoured to injure in the most deadly manner practicable, particularly as not one word was said about the blows (which I purposely desisted from having mixed up with the offensive letter in the apology) nor was it mentioned by either side. I therefore wrote a formal complaint to Major Bon- or the Conmendant which was delayed to be sent until about 8 o'clock in the evening as I had per- mitted a communication to be made to Lieut.

About half an hour afterwards (12 o'clock) the Ma- gistrate made his appearance, and having taken to despositions, I heard him desize a warrant to be made out for Lient. Jervis, and summons for the witnesses-These were placed in the hands of the Inspector of Police, and on his return at 3 o'clock without the accused party, he said that having searched the steamer (on board of which Lieut.

We have sef. dom known such scarcity of vessels, and this again produces a complete stagnation in the export trade, increasing the Blocks on hand to a great extent, making money scarce and obstructing the cired. lation of business in general.

Here it will be as well to observe that Lieut Jervis received every assistance both from Mitary and Civilians to enable him to elude an enquire into the charge I preferred against him-namely no assault of an outrageous and unpardonable nature. Whether Lieu Jervis' escape disguised and se- creted on board the Steamer is not a tacit acknow. ledgment of guilt and fear of being brought before a tribunal there to answer for his conduct, I leave impartial Judges to decide. For on board he was, although he evaded the vigilant search made for him, as Captain Maberly (his friend and brother officer) when the Pilot was quitting the ship, desred him to give his compliments to the Inspector of Police, and inform him that Mr. Jervis was safe on board”
