A Warrant was unnecessary. Authority to the superior Officers of Police to board any vessel, having sufficient reason to apprehend that a felony or Misdemeanor had been, or was about to be committed. See Act: VII. Art: 114 of 1845. Upon the first intimation of the violent assault and imprisonment of the seaman Madison, it was the bounden duty of the Police to have him relieved and place him in a position of preferring this complaint. Indeed the full power vested in the Police to apprehend, without warrant, any person who had committed the assault particularly referred to.

3. Meant the statement made by the two Comrades of Madison, who came to the station to prefer the complaint on his behalf?

That this Carpenter Madison, had requested them to come to the Police Station, and report that he, Madison, handcuffed to the gun near the Cabin door, and had been much beaten, and was so punched and disfigured that those who had seen him a few days previously would not know him.
