snare game. I took a walk with 

 them. I did not walk with the 

 plaintiff on the next day at all. 

 I believe he kept his bed at that 

 time, and a long time after. 



Common -Sergeant. — Had Pur- 

 day any stick ? 



Witness. — I think he had a 

 little switch stick. No violence 

 was offered to Allen. On the 

 contrary, he alone acted with 

 violence : I believe he was in 

 liquor at the time. 



Dr. Simmons deposed as fol- 

 lows : — I examined the plaintiff 

 a short time after he was shot 

 and found he was dreadfully 

 wounded. A great number of 

 shots were in his knee, leg, and 

 thigh. I hoped it would not 

 prove fatal ; but I had great ap- 

 prehensions at the time that it 

 might. I never saw the plaintiff 

 after that night, till I saw him 

 on the trial at Kingston ; he then 

 limped, which was no doubt the 

 consequence of the injury he re- 

 ceived by being shot ; I believe 

 the limping was not affected ; it 

 was the probable effect of the 

 injury in his thigh ; I think for a 

 labouring man such an injury 

 would prove highly prejudicial to 

 him inhis employment, and of more 

 serious consequence than to a per- 

 son whose occupation was of a 

 different and lighter description. 



Mr. Joseph Hillier, the father- 

 in-law of the plaintiff, proved that 

 the plaintiff had suffered eight or 

 nine weeks' serious indisposition 

 from the injury he received when 

 he was shot, and he was not able 

 to do any work for twelve weeks. 



The Secondary summed up 

 the evidence very minutely ; he 

 inveighed against the atrocious 

 conduct of the defendant, and 



recommended the jury to give 

 such fair and moderate damages 

 as they should be of opinion, after 

 a dispassionate review of the facts 

 which had been detailed in 

 evidence, the justice of the case 

 required. 



The jury retired for a short 

 time, and gave a verdict — Dama- 

 ges 501. and costs. 



ADMIRALTY-COURT, DEC. 1. 



In the case of the ship La Jeanne. 



This was a claim for salvage of 

 ship and cargo, the particulars of 

 which were briefly stated by Dr. 

 Adams, on behalf of the salvors. 

 The vessel belonged to Dunkirk, 

 and was brought into Falmouth 

 by the Hind revenue-cutter, 

 having been found at sea, floating, 

 with her keel upwards, and two 

 or three casks of brandy, part of 

 her cargo, washed out of her. By 

 dint of great and severe exertion, 

 the cutter's crew, assisted by 90 

 other men, amounting in all to 

 131 hands, succeeded in righting 

 her, and brought her into Fal- 

 mouth on the 13th of last Fe- 

 bruary. The value of the cargo, 

 which consisted of wine and 

 brandy, was 3,000/., and the ex- 

 penses already incurred amounted 

 to 428/., which sum was, of course, 

 to be deducted from the nett 

 amount to be allotted for salvage. 

 One cask or barrel of brandy was 

 afterwards found in a bain near 

 the coast, and another was also 

 discovered on shore. 



Dr. Arnold, for the owners, 

 admitted that this was a case of 

 " derelict," but one that did not 

 come before the Court under very 

 special circumstances ; and in 

 this view of the case, he thought 

 an allowance of one4hird would
