And what is the difficulty in dealing with them?
on the Board of Trade, they are taken care of by me, hut if they have no claim, I do not relieve them. But you will allow me to say that I think the questions you are putting to me might more properly be put by a Commission of the Govern inent. I du not think they have anything to do with the case before the court, and I do not think you are authorised-with all due respect-to put ihese questions. The question before the court is as to the death of a inan, and I can give no evidence whatever with regard to that. You can enter this down as a protest.
The Coroner-When do you relieve a destitute scaman?
Capt. Thomsett-if he has a claint against the Hoard of Trade 1 relieve him, but if he has no cinis, Io not. I should wish you also to put down that I use my own discretion in relieving seamen, and if I go beyond my powers I have to pay up myself.
Then in the case of a deserter you grant no relief-The whole matter of the Board of Trade
Expenditure is at my personal discretion, and 1 reheve them or not as I think fit.
What is done with regard to foreign seamen ? As I uld you before, Mr. Coroner, I protest against any inquiry by a coroner's inquest to examine into the manner in which I conduct my duties.
