SHOCKING BRUTALITY. We take the following article from the Boston Transcript. This shocking affair occurred among some rampant Abolition ists at the North, no doubt, who are fre quently uttering hypocritical prayers for Southern slaves : United States nistrlet Court, Mass. Stephen Whately vs. Levi Hotchkiss. Libel by Whately, a seaman, against the Captain of the ship Harvard, for his wages, and for abuse on board. It appeared that the libellanl was a citizen of Massachusetts, and that the Captain was also. That Whately joined the vessel iu Calcutta, in August last, as an able seaman, at thirty dollars per month, and, when he went on board, was the strongest and ablest man in the ship ; that he was a peaceable and quiet man and respectful to the officers. But it seemed that from feeling pretty hfiirtv and stronar. and perhaps a little o elated at getting such fine wages, and the prospect of going home, he felt pretty well took hold with a will, handled a certain chain a little rough on one occasion, so as to actually dent the deck, and on another occasion handled a rope so carelessly that it came near hitting the mate, though it is due to Whately to say that no one saw the latter occurrence, if it happened, but a young lad, a cousin to the captain. To all this it would seem exception was taken, and in the language of the crew, the mate "allowed that Whately was too smart," so to cure him of that defect, as soon as the vessel had left Hoogly, the mate, in presence of all the crew, sent Whately for a bucket. When he had brought it the mate told the. rest of the crew to go to dinner, and told Whately to sit down on the bucket. Whately looked at the mate for an instant to see what he meant, and oerceivine from his manner that he was intending it to degrade and punish him, flatly refused to do it. The mate then sprang upon him and struck him several times with his fist, beat him over the head with a belaying pin and cal led for the irons. When they were brought the mate first struck him over the head with them, cutting a deep gash in his heah, so that the blood ran down on deck ; then put him in irons, kicked him after he was in irons, and sat him "down on the bucket under a hot tropical sun, and there he was kept from noon till 3 o'clock, when he was taken into the cabin and locked in a state room. All this time the captain was in the ca bin, about thirty feet distant, and the cabin door was open, and yet he did not inter fere. What look place in that stateroom no one was permitted to know for the next fourteen days, save the captain, mate and Whately. During all that time the win dow blind to it was down, the door locked, and the mate or captain had the key. Whatever was passed into him was pas sed by the mate or captain. Whately's account of his usage there was that both berth's were filled full of canvass, that the floor too, was filled full of bags, so that he could not lay down for the whole time he was there, but only lean a little on the bags, that he had an allow ance of only one biscuit a day and a pint of water, and that he was chained during all the lime hands and feet. The seamen, after Whately was releas ed, looked into the poor sailor's prison and gave substantially the same account of its condition that he did, viz : that tnere was only room to stand, no chance to recline. Before the Court there was no testimony as to what passed iq that prison house for that period, except that the steward said that he gave the mate three biscuits and three quarts of water a day for Whately, but that the mate earned it himself. When Whately came out at the end of the fourteen days, he was emaciated and wan, and could hardly stand. From that period he never was treated as the rest of the crew. He was allowed no forenoon's watch below, with his comrades; was kept at the wheel four, eight, ten and sometimes fourteen hours at a time, was only -allowed ten min utes to get his dinner, so that sometimes he would hardly get his meat into his dish before he was called, (the regular trick at the wheel is two hours,) and Sabbath days ne Was kept at work all day cleaning hen coops, scraping old nial service. During the whole voyage home the cap tain and mate wre in sailor phrase "down on him," kicking and beating him. Some of the crew testified that the mate assault ed and beat Whately fifty times during the voyage, and a great many of those times savagely, so that the blood would run down aipon deck. Three of those times it was in the presence of the captain. One time Jcicking him in the face because be let go a wrong rope by mistake ; anotheT time, dealing him and jumping on him because ihe mate said he did not answer "aye, aye ir," when he was spoken to, and another st iine for some other equally trivial mistake. On one of these occasions the master said, "Ah, that is right, Mr. Farnhara, get the 30 dollars a month out of him, a little flog ging will do him good," and on one other occasion the captain cheered him on with "Ah Mr. Farnham, that raised his wool for fcim." One of the seamen testified that when at the wheel he used often to over bear the master and mate talking over their exploits, thrashing and abusing the men, and laughing over and enjoying them. The captain himself only assaulted Whate v Jjr three times on the voyage, once for the . same mistake (letting go the wrong rope,) that the mate assaulted him for, and that in the facetious way of kicking in the face, and once with a rope over the head and Ahnulders. for some allesred mistake. But wbat-the toaster wanted in number he made up io ferocity, for a short time before "the reesel arrived, Whately being at the " wheel the captain came, along- and charg ed Whately with being a point and a half .off the course. V Whately replied that he was on the course that had been' given him; the captain' thereupon seised an iron belay ing pin and made a most savage assault upon Whately, s liking him some twelve to sixteen times, two of which blows were in the face laying ppen great gashes on each side of his face, and covering the deck with blood soahat it had to be swabbed up. In addition to the foregoing he was trea ted to pleasant little threats from the master and mate such as that they hoped "he would die," that they were a "good mind to throw him overboard," "that he might think himself lucky if he ever got home," Sec, and when coming on this coast, he was kept in the bows from four to six hours at a time, (two hours being the regular time) with the spray drenching him so that when he arrived here he was frostbitten, bands and feet As a very proper finale to the whole proceeding, the Captain, instead of running his vessel direct to Boston hove to off Gloucester, and sent the mate ashore, to make his escape. The Court held that the master would have had no right to have ordered Whate ly to sit upon the bucket ; that the captain having continued Whately's punishment by imprisonment after the flogging, there by adopted and sanctioned the whole quar rel and made it his own ; that haying cho sen to inflict the punishment by imprison ment in secret, the burden was on the cap tain to show the nature of it, and if he did not, every presumption was to be taken a gainst him ; that the captain and mate were in tne wrong throughout and decreed damages for four hundred and seventy dol lars and costs.
