Witness continued that his name was Pat ■S^nck: Jones ; it was entered thus on the pas senger list. Upon leaving London and when ne ar Gravesend, the Captain asked him if he .-•ore-could make bread. He replied that he could, ,f>('.!'but there! was no accommodation oh board - 'Itfpr bread-making; he agreed to make the Vr,.,bread. ' The Captain then said that he must * ;take a fictitious name, or the Government '" Inspectors would make a noise about it. He • i'toidhim that hemighttakethenameof Smith, "s^r Brown, Jones, or Robinson; he chose the ' flame of Smith, and wrote his name thus in an office at Gravesend, as a baker. He was i, to be— ' r .

.ebb 9/a y Mr. Russell: Now hold your tongue sir. Be .quiet, sir; ;the question is not wages, or a t.'^y.iquestion of imputed fraud, but in respect of '{itiiK ' his discharge. ,i:>■ •• ; Mr. Joy objected to these interruptions • ' '.they were as the ship's bread was represented .tobe, indigestible. ■Witness continued : He signed articles as y. '■. ship's baker, and in spite of inconvenience > i I and want of accommodation he made the ; i 'bread satisfactorily. The doctor even pro v iiounced it very good, as the doctor no doubt '_] j^Oswrald reiterate, as he was now in Court. When they got into the hot climate the o^y yeast turned sour. Had i;he Captain pro ,;; yided a cool place, he would have challenged : rail the bakers of England and France to have .': ■ beaten his bread. A French baker attempted ' "'to.make bread, but it was thrown overboard. ..-,.,Mr "Russell objected to such reflections VV'Viupbri the bakers of France. I ; •; Witness continued : I only want to speak ';■:-/■ the truth ; he could have made splendid '. ■'■. -;-. bread it the opportunities had been afforded I;!, him. .

Mr. Russell still objected. The question ■was "Is this man entitled to wages or not; did he do his duty ' or not." He objected tee totally to such evidence. Mr. Joy said it showed bad taste in his learned friend in continually interrupting counsel on the other side. to ■Witness continued : The Frenchman was then entrusted with the bread-baking department, and better accommodation 1 was 'provided for him. He had never received one shilling on account of wages as ship's baker ; he had repeatedly asked' for his money and discharge, but the captain had , repeatedly refused to give either. , Mr Russell again protested. His learned friend must not be allowed to put words into the witness's mouth. Witness continued: He was nearly four months on the voyage. The wages were to he £2 a month. He asked for £7 10s, as it was not quite four months. , .? Gross-examined by Mr Russel : H» was not by1 profession a seaman ; he was an immi grant, but engaged by the captain's wish to 'Mkethe ship's bread. He had been a great traveller; he had been to Mexico, New York, Australia, New Zealand, and many times to Cork and Dublin. He had heen punished for going on the forecastle; he was punished, for a violation of the Emigration Act.

Mr Joy objected. His Worship hoped that the learned gen tlemen would confine themselves to the question before the Court. Mr. Joy cross-examined witness at great length on his career, and inteispersed his remarks .with many funny sayings, which ■'. kept the Court in a good humour. Witness remarked that there was a good deal of rivalry after it was known that a French baker was on board ; the Frenchman tried to cut him out. He heard him offering his services.

Mr. Russell: Now Mr. Smith, Brown, Jones, how was it that yon heard this when you don't understand French. : Mr. Joy objected to this kind of tyran nizing over his client. Witness continued :§There was a French man on hoard who could talk English, and he let him into the secret. He never told the captain to get some body else to do the work if he was dissatisfied.

Mr, Rusisell: Now Mr Smith—Jones, I shalT bring three witnesses to prove that you did.

■Mr Joy : I ask your Worship, therefare, that the witnesses may be ordered out of Court. . • \ ::,:■<

Witness : The Frenchman could not bake sufficiently well to please the passengers. • '■■' The women, ' according to his instructions, baked for themselves. He simply asked for his wages. Mr itussell said there was a great deal of sharp firing on the part of his friend. ~, ~,. Mr Joy replied that it was St. Patrick's :' t/<:Day. ■-■■'

Mr Russell replied that not being an Irish man he did not bow to the shrine of the saint."! LIT The Court then adjourned.

THE CHAMPION BELT.
