At that time he complained that Captain Kimber had engaged to allow him two privileged Slaves, and that afterwards he would give him but one. The witness told him it was impossible he could have double privilege, as one Slave was all that was ever given to the surgeon of that ship: but in paying him his wages, he gave him sterling money instead of currency; as a small compensation for the hardships he said he sustained. On the tenth of last January, after Dowling had received his wages, and thanked the witness; he told him that Captain Kimber was a rascal and a cheat, and that he would ruin him if it was in his power. And immediately after the prisoner had been taken into custody, these words occurred to the witness. Thomas Lawer lived at Birmingham, he had frequent conversations with Dowling about the slave trade, who said, he had frequent quarrels with Captain Kimber, in one of which he struck him, and was afterwards put in irons, turned out of the cabin, and obliged to eat salt provisions with the fore-mast men. The Captain allowed him but one privileged slave, and had behaved very ill towards him, for which he was determined to be revenged. These words he often used. Benjamin Riddle was examined by Mr. Morgan. He said he had been Surgeon on board the _Thomas_, which was on the coast of Africa, at the same time with the RECOVERY. There he heard Dowling say, that he had been maltreated by Captain Kimber, and that he would ruin him if possible: that he had a memorandum in his possession, which he could produce against him, when he came home. The witness asked to see the paper, but Dowling would not shew it. This was a sober deliberate conversation, and Dowling thought he was speaking to a friend. After this, the witness heard Captain Kimber say, that Dowling’s conduct was so bad, he could not keep him: he used to bleed, when it was evidently dangerous, and commit other improprieties in his professional line. The witness also knew Devereux to have been dismissed from the _Wasp_ for mutiny. Mr. Dowling was again called, and asked whether it was true, that he had told Mr. Jacks, Lawer, and Riddle, that he would be revenged of, and ruin Captain Kimber if he could. He persisted in his former assertion, and declared that he had never said any such thing. He told the Court, that if they would indulge him with a hearing, he should clear every matter to their satisfaction; but having proceeded in a desultory manner, he was prevented from speaking. Captain Thomas Philips was examined by Mr. Knowles. He deposed, that he was on the Coast of Africa when the prisoner was there. Devereux had been turned out of the _Wasp_ for mutiny, and had acknowledged the charges against him to be true: and the witness knew him to be a bad man.
