Inspector Thomson said that the inquest would likely la-t all to-morrow, and he wanted an adjournment for a week. Mr Hutchison, who appeared _ for Seel, asked for an adjournment till l-'riday. on the ground that, as advised, his client was arrested under a misapprehension, and he ought not to be kept waiting for trial longer than was absolutely necessary. His Worship acceded to the request, and adjourned the proceedings till Friday. Pulley's account is that he had been subject to great persecution on the voyage, especially from the sailors, and when he met the group yesterday morning, he thought ha was about to be mobbed, and used his revolver in self-defence.
