Add to basket(16)pp. Text in two columns. Disbound with some dusting to title and final blank. Birmingham Law Society stamp to title. Not recorded by Copac or Worldcat. Benson, captain of the Pomona, was accused, while travelling to Calcutta via the Cape of Good Hope, of feloniously embezzling on three occasions a total amount of £66.13.4d which was due to his employers, Robert Andrew Munn and others, with a second series of accusations, this time for an amount of £90.0.0. On the first day of the trial, he was found not guilty as charged, but the jury 'strongly condemned the system of tradesmen, captains, or servants either giving or receiving bribes'. At the end of the second day, the jury again brought in a not guilty verdict but commented: '. the prisoner had acted morally wrong, and with very great indiscretion.'.
