CAPTAIN ATTWOOD'S CAS 13. Referring "to tho movement-to obtain from Parliament some financial redress for Cantain Attwood, of the ElinEaiuitc, who was. after some years of aeitntion. exonerated of blaine for tho wTcck of the vessel, tho "Sydney 'Shipping List" says:—'"Cautnin Attwood has had a hard aud most etrcjjuoils fight to gain even attention to the injustice ho had Buffered so loug. Deprived of his certificate, a certificate that had borne no stain previously. and thus with his means of livelihood in his proper vocation taken from him, was bad enough, had the vessel been lost through jpßlisenco of the most culpable tvpe. hut with his innocence ro firmly established so Ion? as it had been, to defer recompensing hiui, as he had every right to expect, may demand, until it eanuot be put olf <i moment longer, is certainly a, thing that but adds sunjioi't to our contention, that Australasian Governments certainly do things in a peculiar way to assist in making the mercantile iiKirine an attractive calling to tho youth of to-day."
