CAPTAIN OSCAR HENDERSON, master of the ship John McLeod, was charged belers Mr. Wode house this morning with assaulting his Chinese cabin servant on the 4th instant. A good daai of evidence was heard, but no absolute proof of assault was forthcoming. The Captain submitted that it was a trumped up charge prompted by the complainant's desire to leave the ship before the expiration of his agreement, in order to evade having and to work off a "dead horse a half months wages advanced. His Wonhlp remanded the case until Monday next and recommended that it be settled out of Court.
