Cross.examined.—Was a Captain ten years, ship.. ped a man named Wheeler at the Isle pf France.—. Grant was also taken on board there. Wheeler was not a good seaman, but never had a complaint that prisoners' were obliged to-do his duty. There were eighty persons on board. John Wheeler was a sailor on board the Mail Anne, from the Isle of France to England Remem bered the complaints against Williams. On Satur day, two days before the prisoners were plat in i kOns, Piers awoke- witnesi as he was sleeping - on tee tile. castle, saying he had very important business to tom• municate.. Witness asked what it was? Pierie drew * book out ei4siebeseiei awe desired witness to take hold of it, witness declined, but said he would agree to any thing Aerie should say to him .; Pierii said he wanted to take the ship from these d—d fasells that commanded her, and he asked esitikiis to be loyal to him and a few other comrades ; witness gave his consent in order to get fipla Picric his plan ; about eight o'clock that esening. witness went to the gang way, and told what he Mardi to Mr. Qitincey, and also that he had. heii'd Pierie W and Norburge say on the forecastle that they would ask hint (Quincey) to navigate the ship, and it he should refuse to take the oath, they would throw him overboard; witness fur. then told Quineey, that he should not go forward among the men, as they would oblige him to take the oath ; nest morning, about eight or nine o'ciocki witness,: met Pierie again on die forecastle, who asked him it he had any news ? witness replied in the negt. live, and asked whether Pierie had any ? Pierie an• swered he had very good news, that he had 14 or 15 good loyal men, who would assist hint ; witness ask ed how the other people in the 'ship were to bi dis posed of? Pierie replied, that he would fasten dinttt the lore hatchway where the soldiers were, then go aft and tut the thhutrol the Officers and throw them over board, that he afterwards call up , the soldiers one by one, and throw thefts also over board, and every ...ce else that.wat.Mit loyal to him ; Fitness asked him whet he would do with the Lady. passenger and thetwo other females ? to which he replied, they were to be kept for the ship's ow, and thrown over board as moo as they came within sight of land; witness then asked how many men he want ed ? and • was answered, eighteen awn and three officers: he added, that he (Pierie) was to be Cap tain ; Norburge, chief mate; and Sennett, second mite:, Witness tbenesked what he would do for navigators e Pierie said be thought himself one of the best its the ship, that he would take care not ttr'.• touch at any port where _English colours were. Wit. fless mentioned this to Mr. Qoincey, after which, .Norburge, who had been listening . under the fete hatchway, came and called him (witness) forward ; 'tin his Way forward, he heard Norburge say to Pierie that he was sorry any thing had been told to whom,' 'as he (Norburge) feared he would tell it all to the Captain, for he bad just overheard, him telling it to Quincey, the third mate. Pierie toldhim not to fear, but to wait till witness came forward, and then they would heave him overboard. Norburge said Griot, was as bed as witness. Witness then went aft, and *did not go forward that night. On the next day the ha:ch way we; surrounded, and the prisoners called up and secured, as mentioned by last witness. When_ Pierie was called up, he said in a trembling manner to the crew, " If they arc going to put any European in irons, I hope you won't suffer it;" but none of the crew node him any answer. Witness never beard Seanett or Reed say,any thing in this business, nor heard any thing of it said in hearing.

Grant added, that he heard Pierie say, that, the taking of the vassel•wsidd beloMe. thou:and* of pch . un cad] to th'euia: • . Mr Douglas; the second OiEeer Of the. Mary Ann, had observed meetings among the crew; they were of an alarming nature s• communicated what he had he4rd lathe Captain. Captain Webster re-examined.—The ship first be longed to him, but was afterwards made over to Mr. Painier. The ship was consigned to Pick. itichlrd and Webster, generally. Here the evidence for - prosecution closed. The prisoners being called upon.flr their defence, Jeelmed making any, but left it to their Ccunsel. Mr !

Mr. Justice BUIIROVO.III summed up the evidence,• and the Jury, after deliberating about half an hour, returned a verdict of o:tilty against Pierie and Nor. {burr. Sennett and Reed were acquitted. Sir WILLIAM Scorr, after a most impressive dis. course, in which he recommended the prisoners to prep,se for another world, as the y could not enter. 4 . . tam tiny hopes of escape in this, passed sentence of death on konth.—The other prisoners were discharged. Ingavi Naditzi and D avid Bruit, seomen, were tnoicted im feloniously and piratically, in conjunc. tion with some others, tarrying off the ship Roe. bock, on the coast of Aft lea, on the Sth day of May 14st. After the case was stated to the Jury, the following account was detailed in evidence : Will Buyd came on board the Roebuck as a Pal• senger, off Cape Coast Castle on -the 21st of last Match Captaiu Thomas was then.her commander, William Carew, chief mate, 1. Wilson, second mate, Rich..rd Howe lls, foremast man, John Wilk:, cabin boy ; both the prisoners were on board at the time. Torre weev also on board several black men, who assisted in working the vessel. On the 4th of May tan the Roebuck was at anchor between' three and tour miles from the African coast. On that day Ca. rew, the matt, came to witness and said, " You seem very much down-hearted." Witness said, no. Carew asked him would be be one of his (Carew's) party. Witness said, what do you mean ? Carew replied, the s ßoebuck was for America. Witness told hint not to be foolish, to consider the conse quence of what he was about—that he could never again chew his face in England alter such an act as he proposed. Carew then answered, those that will not be of my party, I shall take care they shall . not be of any other party." A little time alter, wit ness asked him what he meant, and he replied, " you shell know ti:ee enough." Witnesi did slot comma. Matte the circumstance to the Captani•that night, he (the Captain) having disregarded a similar commit nica.ion which he had made before. On the morn ing of the sth the ship got under weigh. The Cap tain had given orders that the vessel should stand out to sea till ten at flight, and then go in shore again. AR haltisest eight Careertiers!lo "this is the night." •He (Careek)' then heeled in the weather braces, in otder tv glee die vessel wrote way. At this time.hhort was at the helm. Carew ordered witness to go below, and bring np sit cut; lanes; witness refused, as de did not know where to . find then. Carew then s lid he would soon find a man'who would do it, and ordered Howells to go and bring them. Howells said to wiinese, that they had better stop below, to which witness ',Ord. :that if they did not come on deck they should lie mur. dered. The cutlasses were then. brought up and Carew distributed them—one to witness, one to each of the prisoners, one to Shoo; one to Howells, and one for himself. Care* and the prisoners then drove the black men below, and fastened theM down. One of them, named Quashee, was struck with a cutlass, and made. some noise, on which the Captain awoke and called trod; the cabin to know what was the Matter, and Bruce told him it was only the bull tread. ins eyerilie Wad przii, The Captain then remained below. Carew then sent Howells for his bible, and when it was brought he ordered the crew to sit rotind, in a circle, and administered an oath to each of them, that they shoold assist in taking the ship to America, and thete dispose of her and the cargo to the best advantage, and share the produce equallylanong all, except himself, who should haie a larger share, as •Eriastil.r. Prisoners were present. The with was tendered to witness,• who took the'book in his hand, and said to Carew, that he would assist in every thing that, a passenger could, if he (Carew) would consent to the oath be was about to take; Carew sad he would.

Howells, who said, 4 I so- the watt as Lloyd.", .Did.noi Collect witether the. prisons* took , the, oath or not. The Captain was all this time in his cot in the cabin.' In a short time eirreW ordered witness to. go below and send vp the I Withers refined' He then told Bruce and Short to go and call the Captain. Bruce went and told the Citplasti 4M a tornado was comiag, -and Short said , the same,. Ida added; that Captain Carew. wanted him . (Captain T homas) .on deck. The Captain. then came Up in, his shirt, and Caren said to hini, " Captain, you bill consider yourself no longer as Commander of this vessel; the Itoebnck is no* bound for America." The prisoners at the bar were present, armed, as was. the witness .and enme others. Captain Thomas said, “ Gon bliss me, I can't help it," and asked for his clothes, ' which was granted. Brut* went dOwn also and brought op the Captain's cot, and pet it intethe after hold. ' When the Captain was drefised he asked for some tobacco, which be got; be then begged Carew' w let him hare the shies,hoat and four hands (men), 1 which were refused. He then asked for the negroell Canoe and one band.. Carew answered, 4, No." but. on the next day he should pave a boat, bar in such a _state that be shoidd never reach the shore. Captain. Thomas said, « Mr. Carew, I beet net almetved .610 Carew replied, it was all his {the Captain's) 4'. fotairA °mfr . . 1 • •e‘ , . . aptam. - rtinmits then became recon—ded to Itla fate, and, 'aid, es I thank Cron x ha*, no ti. regr;t lily loss; as I have pti:her tailier-nor inot . her, wife, nor child, nor have i tytr d-trtided a man of sitPenet."': Carew Olen ordered hint .fr the deck, into the after-hol.f.

At three o'clock in the morning witntsi. W . ;:nt lortviird to Howtlls, and stid to him. that'll he would stand by hits. he (witness) would take the ship that mom ing, or lose his life in the attempt. I-Totted% said the attempt would be foolish. Witness did not Own cost. tinue the cnnvercition, ag hz. feared th.tt one of the pt:ioners (Hastingc) who'was at .the Whoa's' side of the main deck, whit a cuaiss in his hind. should overhear . him. In a short time after Wanlest I.eit and spoke on the subject to Quashee, theitegyoe, who inad betu Rat up on deck in the course of the night. He then spoke to Wilson, using the mime. words be hid said to Hoivells. Wilson OM Itifst Alt* 4ristild he a-better opportunity by 'delaying it for a short time. Witness then eatitioned Howells, who 'had taken the helm, to keep a good look Out on deli:, and that he would go and speak to Captain Thomas. He saw Captain 'rho s as, and told that then time at which they might retake the ship. The Chap. tain told him to go on deck and make the attetirpt o and as soon as the drat blow was strur.k. he (thellap tain) *Aid be up to assist. Wilson then procured two cutlasses, one of whith he gave to witness, and , kept the other himself. Witness then got ari axe front the cabin, and came forward whete Carew was lying, and aimed a blow with intent to sever his head (tom his body. He did not succeed,• but wounded hilts severely in the neck ; he also struck at Short, who was on the spot, and wounded him ; he then jumped fsff the poop, and' struck and wounded the prisoner Hastings, who was lying down. At this moment the Captain came on deck with a cutlass, and attack. ed Hastings and wounded him in several places... Brace, the other prisoner, then carne up with a hand spike to assist Hastings, but the Captain called out to witness to 46 down with him." Witness then ran at Bruce, whO, whets he found the axe lifted against flirts, threw down the handsp;ke and ran aft. Witness next came to the forehatch. and, cutting the lash , ings, released the black people, who immediately came on deck to assist in retaking the ship. The Captain called to them to seize Short and heave him overboard, which they instantly did. The Captain had then a long setae with Carew, which ended in the latter's falling overboard. In his fall he caught a rope, by whiCh 'he held on at the outside of the ship, struggling to come on board, and it was mine minutes before he fell into the tea. He and Shutt were seen no more. It was about half4udt (lie in 'thCionTriltig when its teem' ercil.- Had ob served.Carew and Short overhaul some chests of.gold ,lest in the cabin before the vessel was secoieresh— l'he cargo was a most valuable one of golii dart and iiory. The ship was then taken into Sierra Leone, *hoe Captain Thomas remained. on hissinesu and witness brought the vessel home to England. • Cross•examined by Mr. A __NDltirws —Was only a passenger; was accustomed to a seafaring Isle; WAS in much fear when he went to fetch the cutlasses; prisoners acted by the orders of Carew; when the orders were given to bring up the Captain, Hastings was sitting on the windlass, with• his cutlass Lying near him ;. Short had threatened Hastings that he would cgp his head of, if he caught him sleeping...-. Bruce could not see witnes% strike Has.;ngs when Ise took tsp the handspike. Hastings .h had been desperately wounded in several places. Richard Howells and William Wilson corrals°. rated the evidence of the last witness. John George Nicholls, Esq. proved that he was the owner of the Roebuck. - . , Here. the case closed for the prosecution. .., Both 'prisoners,. when called upon ter their defence, strongly protested that they were innocent. Several witnesses were then called, who gave theta both excellent characters for.sobriety and humanity. Mr. Justice HoLROYD summed up the evidence to the Jurj , but before they delivered their verdict , both prisoners addressed the Court, and expressed a wish thaw a than who had been called on their. behalf..hot whorl their Counsel declined to esaluine, should he again called. This, alter a few moments, was c...,n. seated to, and • . Aaniollisholls, a mariner, was called and sworn. , Ibss a id that be came home rom Sierra Leone in the Roebuck with the first witness (Boyd), that Boyd, in a tatitversatiolifibich he had with witness on the labkiit 'of...the piracy, declared, that it was partly Isis-(Bt yd's) own .fault that 'the attempt was made at ill." He having in a reinonitrance to the Captain, said he would not put up with. his ovesbearing con. ' duct and that he would, with the assistance et The i. men, ta k e tue ' ease l into some other port. ~ Boyd was again called up, confronted with this witness, and pobitively denied every word of what be said. - . ... The Jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty against both: prlsonets, but re commended them to mercy onthe ground. that they acted under some fear. Mne Nicholls (the owner of the ship), then stated, that both prisoners were so well conducted on their passage horny from Sierre Leone, that their irons had ‘ Wit. knocked off, acid they were suffered to mess with die other seamen. He therefore begged to teems. mend them to the mercy of the Court. ' SirWatiam SCOTT then addressed himself to both the irisoners, . and said, that the recommendations of Ite Jfiry and of Mr. Nicholls, would be transmitted to the proper qUarter • but the wisest thing which Am could . do, would be to prepare themselves to receive that Mercy in another world, which possibly might not be extended - to them in this. He then passed sentelito . of death .on . them.. Both prisoners r appalled smith ;0114 . sad pertiusd ia prisoners declaring . their Innocence.
