MR. BRUCEI am desirous, Sir, of correcting a statement made by me on Thursday last with reference to the alleged cases of overloading at Cardiff, and the conduct of the magistrates with respect to them. I stated on the authority, as I explained, of a letter addressed not to me, but to an hon. Member of this House, by the stipendiary magistrate of Cardiff, that out of 60 charges against sailors for desertion, &c., in only two cases was the defence set up that the vessels were overladen or unseaworthy. I have this day received a letter from the stipendiary magistrate of Cardiff correcting that statement. There were only two cases in which overloading was alleged, and in one of these the defendants were discharged. But there were seven allegations of unseaworthiness. In two of these the defence was sustained, in four the sailors were punished, and 1785 in one repairs were ordered, and the sailors returned to their ship. Surveys of the ships were held in seven cases.
