upon the Governor of the Colony, his Lordship is more disposed to attribute it

to the circumstances

Not reflecting any

the Government

discredit on

those who served on the Grand

Jury

on that occasion

although they suggest

serious deficiencies in

the Administration of

Justice.

I am to request

you will also inform

the Lord Commissioner of the

Admiralty that Lord

Grey

has instructed the

Governor to cause a fresh indictment to be

23

preferred in the event of

the Chinese seamen who absconded being forthcoming

on another occasion, &

the Officers of the Childers

being alive

within reach and

the effect of which, if a true Bill should be found, will prevent the Offenders from venturing

within the

range of

the Jurisdiction of the Court.
