TUESDAY, lAN. 14. This day the Court-Martial re-afremhled, when the following prifoners were. put upon their trial, viz. yob& Alien, Edward Taylor, Geer,cr Conftryner, George Didion, game, Riley,.and 71911101 Sinuaoadr. The firft evidence called for the 'profec ution,was James Richardfon, whole teftimony was peecifely to the fame effect as that given by him on th e trial of the ham= belonging to the fame flip, who were found guilty on the 12th lull. He (wore, that Taylor was the writer of the letter which was handed to Admiral Ca?npbell, as Rated on the former trial, and that the priloner came down when Fitzgerald - and Clic flerman w e re talk ing of throwing Hazard overboard in a bread bag; Taylor, however, laid, that he hoped they would be able to carry their point without committing murder. The witnefs never law Taylor or Allen affift the officers in quelling the mutiny ; nor did he ever hear any of the fix prifoners fay, that they would not weigh anchor but for Eitiland. On the Wednefday, he heard Taylor call himfelf a Dele gate, and fpeak of Chef erman as another. John Aufrey depofed, that on Saturday the sth ofDecember he heard Allen fay to Stevenfon,when they were drinking together, there would be blood fhed before the week was at an end. Stevenfon obferved to the prifoner, that fomebody might pay for it. The prifoner Paid, there was no fear ; the belt of them were men-of-wars-men, and knew which way to gp about it ; but as to the Johnny Newcornet, they would know what to do with them. On the IA of January, Taylor and Allen drank, " Succefs to the Britilh Heroes and ob ferved, that there was no fear, advifed them all to !hake hands, and to Rick to each other. On Sunday, Allen began to lower the ports down, and he lowered the - bow-port but one, and detired them not to bar the sports. He wanted to know where they were going, obferving, that they were not willing to go out of the land—they would fight for their King and Country, but now the war was over, they would not go abroad. He heard Allen lay on Sunday that if any of the officers drew their arms, there would be blood flied. On Monday he law him with Collins and Fitzgerald, and heard him a& if any of them were prepared for their own defence " Yet, there is plenty of ammunition prepared for them in cafe they fhoulcl be obftreparous. Allen laid he was very glad to hear they had fomething for their defence. On Thurfclay, after the Admiral had had the letter on the quarter deck, Allen defired M , Eafh, the' ' marine, to pick out two men to let the Admiral know they were all of the fame mind. He anted *Every the fame day, if he thought any of the marines - would come down and Join them ?-• Wl:very Paid, he would anfwer for twenty or twenty-four marines. About five in the evening, when the uproar began, after George Dickfon called all hands up, Allen Paid, now, my boys, don't be afraid. George Dickfon, when he went down the fore hatchway ladder, Paid to every one, all bands on deck, you b--4--s ; bear a hand up : and he came up the main hatchway with a gang of about fifty hands to go aft and difarm the cen tries, to defend phemferves on the forecaftle, and defiroy thole gentlemen among the mob. He ob ferved James Riley, George Comaynes, James Riley, Fitzgerald, and Chefterman, when they found the foldiers were under arms, they rufhed forward, and called out, deliver the prifoner. Dix on, Taylor, and George Comaynes a&ed in this manner. Riley laid no prifoner !Mould be kept.-: Captain Eyles collared James Riley, and flail, I fuppole you are one of the ringleaders. He an fwered, d--n• my eyes, I have nothing to do with the b—. All the prifoners, but Allen, were pre fent forward. Simmonds was there more holy than any of the ref, they all* cheered. On Satur. day, the sth, he fatv Thomas Simmonds, and he laid to Fitzgerald he fhould join the corps, and five hundred more, to put the marines to rights, in cafe they fhould turn treacherous. On Sunday, when the ports were lowered, he law Thomas Sim month try to unthip the ladder. Mr. Douglas, the boatfwain, had his foot on the ladder ; Simmonds laid to Taylor, I was very nigh breaking the b—r's neck; and Taylor rung out, kill the b--, break his neck, and lung out for (hot and crow bars. Simmonds, Taylor, George Dixon, and George Comayne cried out for (hot and crow bars. Riley wanted a gun to frighten the officets, hut they never touched a gun to his knowledge. On, Sunday night, about 'eight o'clock, Taylor went fore and aft, to fee if he could find any crow bars—he brought a crow bar forward, and order ed the people, before they went to bed on the liar board bay, not to bring their hammocks up till they were piped up. On Friday, Thomas Sim monds faid,le Was very lorry he did not kill two or three of the gentlemen when he had it in his power, on Sunday, the 6th, and he laid, " He would fharpen and grind his knife, to get revenge; that his own comrades were gone off the (hip, for they were all guilty of the fame crime." Riley, Dixon, and Comayne were there; Simmonds laid, he would go and deftroy the marines when they were fall alleep in their hammocks, and in cafe they could not go through with it, they would die together, attdbkiw up together. Dixon knocked the witnefs down at the time, and told him he re pelled him to be one of the reporters, and that he Should not be able to tell what was going on be fore the work was at an end; George Comayne (wore by the Hot-s (HosT and the Virgin Mary, they would get their revenge.
