supper." I went into the forecastle. I said nothing else then. The first mate and +second came to the fores atle and asked me if I was not going to grease the mainmast too. The mate took me by the arm and took me aft to the after hatch into the half

deck and said,—“ Clear away that sail." I did so. There were irons fixed on to a bolt in the beam; he said," Put your hands up there." I did so and be locked the icons, The captain was forward then, I was about a fathom away from the batchway. The half deck in only 4 feet high, so that I could not stand upright. When tired I stooped down and the strain was then on my wrists. The first mate and third came to me at eight o'clock and told me to go to the etaneblon farther aft. Shortly before that the third officer had brought me some water and a biscuit. I was then placed with my back to a stanchion, and any hands were fastened behind me by tho mate. I was in that position until midnight. About ten o'clock I called out," Deck hoy." The second mate looked down and aaked me what I wanted. I told him my bands were dying and asked to be released. The Captain saw me while I was in irons and asked me how that suited me. At 12 o'clock the mats took my iroas off, turned" me round and wound my arms round the stanchion in front. When the mate came to do this be found me lying with my bead on the ground. Be sald,"Why are you lying there?" I said I could not belp it. I was kept in that position until 6 am. The mate then came to me and attached my write to the bolt in the beam where I had been before. The master brought me a biscuit again and some water. I felt bad and could'nt eat it. The mato sald-" Are you going to grease the mainmast down?" I said I was not able as I was injured from the effect of the Irons, Where I was there were all sorts of ship's atores; ocals were stowed under where I was. The hatch was off for ventilation during the day and on at night. I could not sleep being in such an uncomfortable position. I was kopt fast to the beam until noon. At noon the mate removed me, the irons were kept on but I was not fastened to anything. He asked me if I wanted anything to eat, said,- "No; there is the biscuit still" 1 was Baked to turn to several times, but I was not able to work. In the afternoon the Captain came to me and after saying some- thing to me he kicked me while I was lying down. I saw him three times that day. The third time he said,If it were not for your crazy head I would lick you as long as I could stand over you." About 7 p.m. my right hand was tied up to the bolt in the beam. A strop was put in the balt to enable me to lie down. At mid- night a bucket was brought me to make water in. I had called out that I wanted something. I was kept with one hand tied up until daylight. The mate then hand. cuffed me, but did not make me fast to anything. I ate a piece of biscuit at that time At about 9 a.m. I was visited by the mate. I went on deck and saw the Captain, who said, "Will you grease the mafamast now?" I said I could'nt. He sent me aft then and as I was going he kicked me. I went to the wheel and steered the ship until noon. 1 then had some pea-soup, coffee, and bircuit. I was then ordered to grease the main and mizen masts, and then I had to go to the wheel and I remained there until 6 p.m. I don't recollect the date, but one day I was cleaning painted work. The mate had a torch for heating the paint. We had a few words about the work, when he pushed the torch in my face,

No question by either accused. Bruno Stark: I am an ordinary seaman on board the Homewood. I saw the irons on last witness. Elis hands were triced up to

beam.

The first prisoner, being called on for, bis defence, said I must admit that the com- plainant was in irons as stated. I did not know the whole of what was being done.

The accond defendant eald: Complainant had refused to grease the main mast. I put him in irons without consulting the captain. About ten o'clock I went to com- plainant and asked him to turn to. He wouldn't answer me. I deny having pas the torch in complainant's face. Complain ant did his work carelessly, cutting into the woodwork with bis scraper.

After hearing Mr Caldwell,

Hls Worship said he o uld say no more than he had said on Friday. The two do- fendants would have each to pay a fine of £6, or suffer one mouth's imprisonment; the complainant to be discharged from the ship.

[The Magistrate's werds on Friday were that the master and men had dealt out harsh and cruel treatment to this present complainant.]

▲ LESS SERIOUS CHARGE,

The same defendants were next charged at the instance of Bruno Stark, sea bat of the Homewood, for assaulting and beating him on various occasions on the high esas,

Is this case also Mr Caldwell appeared for the complainant.

Complainant sworn said:-I am an ordinary seaman on board the Homewood. The first occasion on which I was ill-treated

The Captain came out to see what the row was, told the mate to let mo sit down and gave me a glass of pain-killer. The Captain and mate too were good enough until this affair happened with Hendrickson.

Poter "Haneen, seaman on board, corro borated the evidence of complainant as to the lashing of the former up to the bangfall by the Captain. Ho saw Stark lashed up, and he was there when witness went below at 8 o'clock. He was not there when be went to the wheel again at midnight.

Peter Rollins gave evidence as to the Captain the wing the man about; did not hear the complainant tell the Captalu that he had pain. He also saw the complainant lashed to the rail, Next day he saw blood on complainant's shirt round the waist.

They had all been complaining of being ill; I had charge of the medicine chest, none of them were really ill. Clarke and Mercier were skulking. Miller has made a statement to me that both Clarke pad Solan had abused him for doing his duty and threatened to put a kulfe into him and so on. Solan who was making a pretence of doing his work told. Miller that if he got more steam than he did be would cut his Miller also said he knows that heart out. Solan broke the clock. to knew that be was aware of this they further threatened him,

The Captain said this man had been aloft doing something and while he was coming down, he (the Captain) called his attention to a loose gasket and told him to see to it Whether he heard the order or not be could not say; but ho paid no attention to it. When he came down be asked him why he had not done as he was told. He said he would see him dd before he did it. He then told him he would get no supper until he did it. He said he would rather die than give in and do it. He (defendant) then took the whip of the bangfall and passed it round complainant's body; it was not tightly sound him and could not possibly have hurt him. At 12 o'clock he was released; then he said he would not work. Defendant then sald Guess Fll make you work," and took hold of him by the shoulder, upon which be walked quietly aft to the poop. At twelve o'clock he (defendant) came on deck and found this same man in a row again. He asked what was the matter now. Having the matter explained to him he told the mate to let the lad alone and let him sit down He was told to go to the wheel house, and although he was talking of pains a minute before he walked right off as well as any man could. As soon as it was light, he gave him some medicine. Be wished to add that until this affair arose about the man Handrickson the complainant was a remarkably good lad; a better lad he could not wish to have aboard' his ship; but he had got led stray in some way about that affair, the man had made a great confidante of him and so on.

The second defendant, the mate, admitted pulling the complainant out of his bank to go to work. He used no violence to him, but had his hand on his shoulder when walking to the wheel. He said he would not and could not walk; he gave no reason, said nothing about being unable from pain. The man who was at the wheel would speak to this,

Wm. Chubb, who was at the wheel and saw the male bring the complainant aft to

the wheel-house, said he saw no violence used by the mate.

Cross-examined:-I cannot say whether the mate had his hand on him at the time; it was dark. When the man let go the rope he got nothing for it; he was not struck,

Mr Caldwell: The case rosted mainly on the statements of the complainant krim- self. He submitted the man had been guilty of no refractory act.

The Magistrate: He disobeyed the com. mand of his master, a most serious thing on board ship.

Mr Caldwell submitted the Merchants'

Shipping Act provided for his being duly punished for that. This way adopted by the Captain and mate was certainly not the way to punish bim. He submitted a caso of assault had boon made out against the Captain; the case as against the mate he was quite willing to leave with the Court on the statement of the complainant.

Capt. Thomsett said the charges in this case were not nearly so serious as those in the last, although the Captain appeared to have resorted to rather more extreme measures than were called for under the circumstances. The man was guilty of greas disobedience, and the Captain was quite entitled to deny him his supper, but that in tying him up he did so in a cruel manner

When they came

The chief engineer, Thoa, Anderson, generally corroborated the Captain as to steam golog suddenly down when the particular men were in the stake hole, and as to their claiming to be sick.

J. J. Brown, second mate, corroborated the evidence as to the threats used; the men lying up, as to their not appearing to be sick; and as to steam not being up, at particular times.

Charles Fagin, boatswain, Josiah Boucher, carpenter, likewise corroborated.

Josiah Boucher, carpenter, said they during the last 23 years. They had greatly annoyed him with their noises. Asked what he had heard from the forecastle he said:"Well, I hear so much every day I pay no attention to it." This was enough for the Court; he was ordered to staud down.

The Captain said he admitted this first man was only a tool in the hands of the others. Be had been intimidated by the ringleadors, But he (the Captain) could not charge one without the whole.

The Magistrate said he certainly did not follow the complainant in what he said
