The Madagascar was a German steamer of 884 tons. It seems a little strange that the gunboat that was sent to look after the missing vessel did not make a thorough search of the Faracols, north and South. Captain Clanchy is of opinion that this vessel now lying on the North Danger in the same as that which proved fatal to Captain Timm and his crew.

Mr Denoya, in opening the case for thạ... plaintiff, laid before the Court the contract He under which his client came out here. was engaged for four years and arrived here in September last year. His em. ployers had power under the contract to retain from his salary, by clause 3, such an amount of money, taking a moiety of the money he earned, as would be sufficient to pay his passage home in the event of his being dismissed for misconduct before the term of his agreement had ex- pired. They retained this moiety until the sam of 3380 was in their banda Now, $260 was sufficient to pay his passage home, and he, believing they were not entitled to
detain more than that, took out a anmmons to recover from them $100. While this Messrs Falconer & Co., a letter of dis matter was pending his client received from missal.
