Mr. Svott dis- covered it, and immediately ordered a boat to briag baok said McGrath, but was unable to overtake the boat she arrived in Grey ra, ee one Slo- | man, af ¢agineer in ths employ of the company, who was in the pursuing boat, struck and knocked down a man by the name of Reid, upon the beach of Greytown, and then utv-mpted to strike McGrath, | who had taken refage within tae police station; but a fow ofthe citizens being present prevented any further ontrage.

On the 12th of May, i864, My. Scott filed a protest with the Mayor (4 copy of which is hereunto annexed) “and was discharged from arrest. That the suthorities more- over state that they do not believe that the said Mc- Grath_ stole anything from the Pojat, and are able te show fully that not a single ounce of wheat, or flour, or any thing else belonging to the company, was in the boat, and that the boat was obtained by th from ons of the | employés of the company; they are satisfied that the statement of Mr. Sco + ape and Saye \ in every: particular, as more fo "3 by the | prea of Mr, Codd, Mctean and Reid, hereunto | annexed, But before te duy of trial of the man Sloman, another circumstance, of still greater atrocity, was committed by one Capt.
