A Merchant Naval Captain circa 1830-1835, by George Chinnery.
It is these fellows that raise such reports against the English navy, that frighten the poor fellows so; they hear of men being flogged until they die under the lash, and all the lies that can be invented. Not that the masters of the merchant vessels are at all backward in disparaging the service, but threaten to send a man on board a man-of-war for a punishment, if he behaves ill — that itself is enough to raise a prejudice against the service.
— Frederick Marryat, Percival Keene

A broadside of grape-shot was the first salute we received. It produced the same effect on our men as the spur to a fiery steed. We pulled alongside, and began to scramble up in the best manner we could. Handstone in an instant regained all his wonted animation, cheered his men, and with his drawn sword in his hand, mounted the ship’s side, while our men at the same time poured in volleys of musketry, and then followed their intrepid leader.
— Frederick Marryat, The Naval Officer
Captain Fleetwood Pellew commanding H.M. Ship Terpsichore against Dutch vessels in Batavia Roads 24 Nov. 1806. By George Chinnery, 1807.

"COURT SENDS FAURIA UP TO STAND TRIAL," Hamilton Spectator. September 2, 1933. Page 7.
----
Charge of Escaping Custody Has Been Laid
----
Turnkeys Testify As To the Incident
---
Declare Accused Made Break for Liberty
----
Charged with escaping from custody, Marian (Cal) Fauria, who is awaiting trial here on a charge of robbery of the Mount Hamilton branch of the Royal Bank of Canada while armed last November, was committed for trial on the new charge by Deputy Magistrate James McKay in police court this morning. Fauria is also awaiting trial on a charge of holding up a bank in Toronto.
The first witness called this morning was Thomas Hickmott, chief turnkey at the Hamilton jail. His evidence was mostly formal to prove that Fauria was in legal custody. He also told of a report being made that Fauria has escaped and, as he entered the wood yard of the jail, Fauria was being brought back. When asked if Fauria had any right to be in the yard, the chief turnkey told Crown Attorney Ballard that the doctor had recommended fresh air for the prisoner.
Thomas Cairns, acting turnkey, told of being in charge of a squad of prisoners in the wood yard and of the entrance of a truck for a load of wood. When the truck left the yard. Turnkey Hillock was closing the gates and the witness took his eyes off the prisoners for a moment. When he looked back, Fauria was running hard.
"I made a dive for him, but missed," stated the witness. "Then he ran out on to Elgin street and on to Barton. He was brought back by Turnkey Hillock in the cab of the truck."
Turnkey Hillock told of the chase, and of catching the accused. He stated that the accused called him a vile name for catching him. The truck driver also gave evidence of the escape and of his own efforts to catch the accused. He had not heard the accused use any bad language.
Turnkeys Riley and Ince also gave evidence.
When arraigned, Fauria elected trial in the higher court and reserved his plea. He was not represented by counsel.
Material Witness
Held as a material witness in the case of a charge of theft by trick against George Garuk, Toronto, William Kochan, 436 Adelaide street, Toronto, was remanded in custody until Garuk's case comes up on Tuesday. Garuk is charged with using the old "money game" to obtain $980 from Anton Mickelewski.
Appearing for sentence on charge of vagrancy, Oscar Hess, Willowgrove, was allowed to go, but was warned to keep out of the city. He was arrested by Constable Chinnery earlier in the week when he failed to give a satisfactory account of himself.
Pleading that he did not know that he had struck any person, Edward Newnham, 293 Wentworth street north, was acquitted on a charge of failing to return to the scene of an accident.
"I would not ask for his conviction on the evidence," said Crown-Attorney Ballard.
Charged with the theft of money and a watch from the person of one McPherson, Frank Badeau, 21 Market street, pleaded not guilty and was remanded for trial until next Saturday.
Charged by the Royal Canadian Mounted police with possession of a quantity of morphine, Stanley Gold, alias Crissikos, was again remanded until next Friday.

Special Branch: Death By Drowning (3.7, Thames, 1973)
"Mrs. Dolland, if it had been any other body in the Thames, the chances are I wouldn't have been interested. As it is, I have to inquire, you know that."
"It is, nevertheless, a private tragedy Mr. Craven."
"That's one of the things you're not allowed, I'm afraid."

Nor would Eden for that matter.
