THE "0. O. WHITMORE” CASE. The Boston Journal gives the decision of His Honour Judge Towell in the U. S. Circuit Court, with regard to the charge against Thomas Peabody, late master of the barque 0. 0. Whitmore, who was charged with the murder of James H. Ell. wood, the second mate of said-barque. The case will be fresh in the minds of our res ders. We gave some time ago, early in May, the trial of Snow, the mate, who was acquitted at Now York, We now read that the graver charge against the Captain

of "murder" has been withdrawn by the

State, and that he is sentenced to receive nominal sentence for a simple technical offence in his treatment of the man. We append the Judge's decision in full :-----

This case bas excited much interest, as is natural. On the one hand, the scamen tell a story of revolting cruelty, resulting in the death of their comrade; and on the other, a young shipmaster is believed by his comrades, is believed by his friends to be the victim of a conspiracy concocted by the crow on the voyage la question, in order that they might receive a dischargs and the extra pay which a consul can award

me under the ofroumstancen.

The oase has been tried before me under an agreement, by which everything in the way of evidence which is acceptable at this time was admitted with the utmost libera- lity. The charge was that Captain Peabody had killed one of his crew, who was shipped as Second Miste, but afterward disrated and sent forward, on a voyage from Cardiff to Hongkong, in the summer of 1876. The charge of killing has been abandoned, and the questions before me are to what extent, if at all, Captain Peabody is subject to punishment for his treatment of Ellwood during the voyage.

ment was made that I should hear the cise under a plea of noto contendere to the lesser indictment, which plea, however, should not be considered an admitting any thing but the merest technical offence; and that should give an opinion, if I would, upon the case generally, ao far as it could be brought before me by the evidence at San Francisco or here. Afterward the affidavita from Hongkong were added, but neither party thought it necessary to read much of them, and I have not had time to examine them with any care, and cannot pronounce a decided opinion upon that What I can say in, that upon the case that is before me I agree with the court and jury at San Francisco, that the story told by these two men is not to be credited, The verdict is that Captain Peabody is to receive a nominal sentence only.

TOO QURIOUS.

Thomas Green, watchman at the Gas Works, was charged, on a summons, with assaulting one Lung Apung, a rice pounder, It appeared from the complainant's story that whilst passing the Gas Works about noon the day before yesterday, he noticed a brass. bell. He had never seen one before, and thinking it a curious thing,

Defendant stated that Mr Newton, the Manager of the Gas Works, told him to go and see what defendant wanted outside. Complainant had hold of the bell rops, and on seeing defendant, ran. Defendant par sued him, and caught him at a rice-pounder's shop, when a crowd of rios pounders rushed out cryingtah." There was no Policeman

He told a story of something he heard the defendant say, to lead me to believe that Ellwood was disrated because he would not abuse the men. This is not only con tradioted, but absurd on its face. He told another story, the tendency of which was to prove that the defendant purposely poisoned Ellwood, and I am inclined to think that he believes this to be fast. No one else does. He testified to seeing three belaying pins broken over a man's peran on one occasion, and he afterward said that he had seen lots of belaying pins broken in that way on this voyage. All this by the mate who has been acquitted, as was to be expected, for no one can believe that story.
