"Nautilus" Captain Blockley, aggrieved at certain decisions of the Marine Magistrate.
I referred Captain Blockley's letter to the Marine Magistrate, Captain Thornett, and have
the honour to transmit a copy of the report which has been received from that office.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient
humble servant,
Arturmede
Governor
Hong Kong.
Report from the Marine Magistrate on
the complaint against his decision, made
to the Board of Trade by the Master
of the "Nautilus of Stobart Town
There
cases were decided on
their respective merits. The first
case was
one in which the defendant, who had been second mate and Boatswain, did
his work in a somewhat clumsy
manner
which caused the master to use harsh
expression towards him, and the 2nd Mate replied in similar language. The complainant and Defendant being each in the wrong the case was dismissed.
