One of the engineers of the Bogota, .Tames William Mitchell, was con- victed yesterday at the Liverpool Assizes of the manslaughter of Thomas Lander, a stoker, and sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude. The case was fully proved'. Lander was a miner, who to work his passage home en- gaged himself as stoker on board the Bogota. He found the duty too ex- hausting in the tropics, and offered to pay for a substitute. Believing he was shirking, the engineers, Buchanan and Mitchell, caused him to be tied ID ladder sitbin a few feet of the furnaces, and kept him roasting there
until he was nearly dead. He died on deck. Buchanan, the other crimi- nal, has forfeited his bail.
