Trials on a Nantucket whaler ship ignite court action
The Boston Daily Advertiser reports a U S court inquiry into alleged flogging and cruel punishment aboard the Richard Mitchell of Nantucket. Master William Gardner and mate Benjamin Eldridge face scrutiny over lashings, pickle brine, and forced rope ties after a muttered quarrel among crew. Witnesses describe blisters but no raw skin. The case proceeds as subpoenas are issued for the next term.

Escape from jail by concealed wall aperture tale
A prisoner, after three prior failed jailbreaks, finally escaped a jail by enlarging a wall opening about 16 by 9 inches on the east side. He worked unseen using improvised tools, replacing a whitewashed board to avoid detection, and fled about 11 o'clock Monday night. The sheriff has made efforts to recapture him.
