11. Enemy brought a fresh action. Boarding again, and obliged to defend in person. Enemy nonsuited with costs. To abbreviate pleadings, you will see that our time has been Term time. Plenty of work at overhours, and I am sorry to say no extra charge. But I am not going to take a bill of exceptions. I comfort myself for the loss of my arm--I have lost that limb of the law, Dick--by reflecting that I am now like Nelson, except the blind eye, and that I do not follow the Hamiltonian system. Sometimes, however, as I look homeward, and remember “dear Morton,” I sigh to join you by a _Surrey-joinder_, and to taste your _Surrey-butter_. I think that is the legal mode of expressing it. Nothing can behave better than our men--from the principals down to the juniors. They fight as if they belonged to Lyon’s Inn. However, a good many have been ticked off,--including Tyndale, Thessiger, Phillips, Spankie, Scarlett, Gurney, Wilde, Burney, and some others of our acquaintance, who have received a general release. For my own part---- [LETTER ENCLOSING THE ABOVE.] SIR. Am sorry to Say the man as writ the Inclosed letter, with a bit of a log, fell Down the Main Hatchway on the 16th instant at 2 P. M. Was carried down to Cockpit. But the Doctor pronounced it a Bad Job, and after saying O Law three times was a Corps. He left no Will nor no property, and was Sowed up and heaved overboard, same day in lat. 41, 5 N., long. 8, 50 W. I take the Liberty of writing This that you may inform Parents, provided there’s father or mother, as well as to his widow and children, if so be. Should you be encouraged to come out to us in your friend’s Place, you will be heartily welcome, and lots of as jolly good fighting as hearts can wish. So no more at present from Your Humble Servant THOMAS BENYON. N.B. Go to the Duncan’s Head in Wapping, and Captain Bligh will tell you all about the Bounty. That’s if you mean to ’list.
