with wilful disobedience of lawful commands on those in authority over me, for my passage money from Hong Kong to England and continued to decodify date of arrival in England of lawful Commands and was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of 1st day's pay £4. wages for illegal imprisonment and to undergo 30 days in prison.

I was allowed to call no witnesses in my defence on my behalf.

Statement in defence:

I am innocent
I received no wages since Jan?

but I am now absolutely without any means. I was discharged from the ship and by most humbly beg that under these circumstances, you will be pleased to grant me relief.

The trial was on March 1st, which will bear out my statement. I have now discharge in my possession.

I am now taking action in Clerical Secretary of the Board against Captain Ruslade (Marine Department) for the recovery of my wages. I humbly beg that you will be pleased to grant me relief from Hong Kong, as this fact was not known to the Marine Magistrate at the time of my trial on March 1st.

The evidence at the trial on March 1st will bear out my statement which I have handed to you.
