into the cabin and ask the steward for grog, when he was told that the mate was going to serve it out. He afterwards broke into the cabin and stole some brandy. Mr Beveridge objected to this evidence as it was foreign to the specific charge of scuttling the ship for the stealing of brandy had nothing to do with the charge ; it was irrele vant, and he hoped the Court would not allow this evidence to be put in the depositions. Mr Bichmond said he wished to show that his object in eliciting this evidence was to prove that the accused were associates and generally in concert together, and he would submit that the evidence was in order.

The Bench considered that circumstantial evidence must be admitted, as something might come out of it bearing directly on this difficult case.

Witn^s continued : Green having stolen the brandy passed it -to Mbore, who was in the boat, telling him not to allow any one go forward in the boat. Green said that if the Captain interfered he would knock him flat on his face upon the deck ; this was said after Green had broken into the store-room. Green also said if he caught the steward in the bush he should never move again. The prisoners were under arrest then, and said the steward had caused them to be arrested. When in a house at Tonga witness said to the prisoners it was a shame to scuttle the ship, as the captain had a large family to keep, when Green made use of a savage ex pression, and said let them go to h—l. Cross-examined by Mr Beveridge : It was about a week before the boats left that he saw Green and Moore together ; no one else was near them ; he believed the other men were in the forcastle ; he was sure they were in the ship. He remembered the conversation when he got on board the Kenilworth. They got the-brandy the day on which the first boat left; he saw Green burst the door open. He was in the pantry at the time. There were about six of the crew outside the cabin door,' but he was not sure that they were looking on. The three prisoners loaded the first boat. Witness passed some of the things into the boat-, but there was no grog passed. The steward handed them to witness. He said it was a shame to scuttle the ship, but ho did not accuse the prisoners of doing it. To the Bench: He made the remark because he pitied the captain. Charles F. Coventry deposed that he was chief steward on board the Alsager, and re membered the 3rd March. Between two and three o'clock on that day, after the provisions were got into the boat (the ship then was hove to), they began to run the vessel, and he assisted, as a sailor would do, in squaring the yards, and left his cabin duties. They found the flying gib had gone, and could not hoist the sail, tie was next to Etherington, assisting to haul the sheets windward, when Green called out of the hole, " The water is over the keelsail aft." Witness replied that he would go and look. He went accordingly. When half way down the ladder Green* wanted to known what he was after, when he said he had merely come to look. Green handed him a candle, and went on deck. He then looked for the water, and heard water running in somewhere, and listened to ascer tain where the sound came from, and he found it was from the port-side of the vessel from the lower holes above the air-holes. His attention being attracted towards that part of the vessel he went there, and discovered the holes, when the air put the candle out. He immediately went to the captain, and informed him of the. discovery. The captain then returned with him to the holes, and immediately summoned the carpenter to plug them up. They ex amined the holes ; there were only two, but upon ejoing to the other side they saw another hole. 'He should certainly say they were auger holes bored through the outer planking in the way of one of the air-ports. He saw the carpenter plug up the three holes, ihey all went on deck, when the captain said, "the ship has been scuttled," _ ancl added that he would take her into port if she would swim. Green was present, and said he would pump no more, and put his hand onwitnesse's shoulder and remarked what business have you, the steward, to go looking after a leak ; but he did not accuse Green of doing it, when Green used strong language, and accused witness of doing it, threatening that if he could get witness on shore he would; put an end to his existence, and struck him on his breast, and said for two pins he would throw him overboard, when 'the captain stepped between them. He got clear of; Green and went into the cabin. The pn-. soners were a clique on board —a band of; grumblers, swearing at : ancl threatening everybody. They bore enmity towards the; captain. Etherington and Green were fore-; most in using threats towards the captain.: He remembered the captain charging them: with scuttling the ship, ancl having them put; in irons, when Green asked for the witnesses. This was about a week after their arrival at, Tonaa. One of the men—he believed it was Green—said to the captain, "We have done for you ; you will never get another' ship in the colonies." And on'another occasion, on, seeing the captain* Green said, " May the Lord stifen the — , and may he wakci'up. in the morning paralyzed. y Cross-examined by Mr Beveridge. He had. no animosity against them until they reached Maiden Island, when he had to put some goods in the cabin, when, through some dis agreement, Green struck witness. There was a, row about some sugar, when he was accused of not giving the prisoner's weight. He assisted whenever he could at the pumps, and worked hard at them too; harder than any other man, although complaint was made to the captain of his not assisting. He could, not tell why the boats were ordered out; he believed it was that they were obliged to leave-the ship. His business was to see to the provisions, and not to the boats. Between two and three o'clock on the 3rd of March one boat had entirely left the ship. •_..'.'. To the Bench : He did not hear the captain state his reason for not arresting the three prisoners for some days after their arrival at Tonga. He went in fear of the men, and told the captain so. He never mentioned the subject Of scuttling to the captain, nor did eluspect the men till some time after they on the island. When he heard the prisoners use threats against the captain he invariably told him.

This closed the case for the prosecution,

Mr Beveridge then addressed the Court in defence, and said that he was glad that there was at least one gentleman on the Bench who was well acquainted with shipping matters, which led him to believe that justice would be done. He proceeded to say that the evidence that had been brought forward was entirely of a,circumstantial character, and not of such a nature as to bring the charge of scuttling home to the prisoners. If had also been clearly shewn that the ship was not in a seaworthy condition, and in' order to ascertain the real state of the ship's bottom the captain had employed two divers to go down, and the report of Delaneous that there was a splinter sticking out, but which the captain would not permit to be brought up, showed clearly what little interest the captain took in the matter, and it is difficult even now after all the evidence that had been adduced to know where the timber really came from, and he did not seem to know whether it was oak or American elm, or any other kind of wood. He considered that the captain had shewn cross negligence in respect to these matters. The ship in his estimation was not capable

safely of carrying the projected amount of cargi, but was sufficiently safe for the lives of tbe unfortunate men at the bar. The learned counsel then went over the evidence, and dwelt upon the breeze that had sprung up, and which was referred to as a test of the capabilities of the ship. The justices retired at twenty minutes past three to consider the case. After an absense of over half-an%our they returned to Court, and committed tbe priso ners to take their trial at the next Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court.
