Sentence the defendant evaded, was released from the custody of the Magistrate at the Police Court, the circumstances attending which are fully detailed in enclosed report from that officer.
About 100 ML on the 18th instant a European seaman presented himself at my office as an applicant for admission into the Police Service; as such, I requested him to exhibit the discharge from his last ship - he replied that he "had no discharge, and proceeded to state that he belonged to the American Ship "Reindeer", and that in consequence of ill-treatment received from the master he wished to leave the ship. I told him that his only mode was to appeal to the United States Consul, who, I believed, would give him redress, - he then stated that he had represented his case to the Consul. I immediately, without further questioning, said it was not of my province to interfere and that he must return to his ship, whereupon he left the office.
On the afternoon of the 19th, two men styling themselves Seamen, who stated that they had been recently discharged from the "Reindeer", came to the Police Station, and requested the aid of the Police to relieve a man who had been flogged and otherwise ill-treated, and who was then in irons on board the "Reindeer". They represented that the injured man begged them to make the application. The Assistant Superintendent made the report to me, and I immediately directed the officer to proceed on board the "Reindeer", and if he found the report true to bring the man ashore.
