Japanese, it is stated, will do it much cheaper, and it is well for China to feel the want, and to seek and to satisfy it in their own way.

So far I am satisfied; but what can compensate me for the trouble, anxiety, loss of time and expense to which I have been put ? I shall leave loss of character out of the question, as I shall always Be able to refer to the splendid summing up of Chief Justice Philippe, and the unhesitating and unanimous verdict of the gentlemen who formed

These deductions, with other maiters received from the ship, reclaced the balances catsing to the men to a very small sum.. These balances were never disputed, but upon reaching Hongkong the complainants, withothers, wished to get their discharge. Their object was, of course, to ship again and get further
advances. As the articles had at expur, refused the discharge. The result was the case of Regina Delap and Cox, and for simply during my duty I ran the appalling risk of having my character blasted and being sent to gaol.

The Supreme Cour, or ever assumed the dimen sions it did, I have to thank Captain Thomsett.
When the matter first came before the Marine Magistrate, f'considered it of such a trivial nature, not then knowing Captain Thomsen's ani mus against shipmasters in general, I did not think it necessary to seek legal aid. What was The consequence? was treated as if my guilt was beyond doubt, and the statements of the men were received as gospel truth. At the close of the first witness's statement, I was asked if I had any questions to put to the witness. Upon my in- quiring what was the height of the scuppers from the water, i was roughly stopped, and told that that was not a proper question. From this, and from the Magistrate's evident bias, I felt that was prejudged, and that it would be useless to say more; therefore refrained from asking any questions. I was not asked if I had any defence to make, and when I requested that the signed entry of the occasion in my official Log-book might be read, Captain Themsett refused to look at

In this act he stepped out of his way to oppress me. could mention other matters of a similar kind, but will only mention that one of the black crew having proved a violent lunatic, I sent him to the asylum upon Captain Thomsett's order, and this man was called to contradict the correctness of my account of his wages. I leave those who are sane to judge of this action of Captain Thom.

My recollection of Hongkong will certainly not he of the pleasantest, but I shall ever remain grateful to Chief Justice Phillippo, and the Jury, for the just and happy result of my trial; to the gentlemen who aided in my defence for their efforts on my behalf; and to the numerous friends and shipmasters who stood by me, for their kind sympathy.
