In answer, the defence stated that the only evidence of the debt was Capt. Ting's books, and since he was dead there was no one who could explain them ; furthermore there were some of the court who openly opposed such a precedent as allowing the books to be brought in as evidence ; that these accounts were imperfect as well as others in the books; that credit for the voyage was made on May 18, 1839, and Mr. Woodcocke was to give Capt. Tinge an ac- count of provisions left and one half was to go to the latter, as per note in Mr. Crudeck's hand, etc.
