ST. CHRISTOPHER, JULY i 9. COMPETENCY CP SLAVE TESTIMONY. At the Court of Admiralty Sessions, of John Fletcher and William Arrindell, free black men, have been tried and convicted for a felony on the high seas. The pro secution was conducted by his Honour the Attorney- General, Mr. Skilling, and Mr. Smi:h ; the defence by Mr. Woodcock and Mr. Hanley. Fletcher was first put on his trial ; and Mr. Smith opened the case, and stated the particulars—namely, the , the prisoner, with his accomplice Arrindell, had taken away from Nevis, in a boat, a slave, named Branch Hull, on the night of the 10th of October last, and had thrown him overboard, detaining his clothes and other articles ; fir which robbery he was indicted. The Attorney-General rose to examine the e. idence ; when the prisoner's Cciunsel objected to a wittiest cant d, who was a slave, on the ground of his condition rendering him incompetent to give evidence in any Court in this island, under the existing laws. The Counsel for the prosecution replied to this objection; and the Court having deliberated thereon, his Honour the Chief Justice delivered the following opinion:— " We know that the Courts have long since disre garded the subtle grounds upon which the old cases rested, as to the competency of witnesses; that they !stare endeavoured, as far as possible, and consistently with existing authorities, to let the objection go to the credit, rather than to the competency, of a witness. We adopt this principle in its fullest extent, and, con vinced that it is both expedient and salutary, as tending to the attainment of the great ends of justice, I shall proceed to consider the objection taken to the com petency of this witness. He is a slave, and it is contended, that being a slave, his testimony, by the usage of the other Courts of Judicature in this island, cannot be received. This opinion was supported by some position, for which I in vain required that au thority should be cited. It was urged, that by the practice of other Courts, such testimony is rejected, as affecting the remotest interest of any one who claims to be free; but this is too broadly laid down. A mere claim to freedom would not be sufficient—the party must be actually free. I well remember the case which. hay been cited ; for I presided in the Court of King's Bench and Common Pleas, on the occasion whets the Court rejected the evidence of a free man, relating to a fact which occurred whilst he was in a state of slavery; and I had the misfortune to differ from my learned associates upon that occasion ; for I could not reconcile the principle with any notion of justice or of reason, that this man being free, should be deemed by I law competent as evidence of a fact which occurred yesterday, whereby the life of a fellow-creature might be taken away, but, being a slave the day before, his evidence is to be rejected upon the most trivial question of property, belonging to a free person, and arising during the period of his servitude; We have no law whereby the evidence of a slave is rendered inadmissible in regard to free persons, in our Courts of Justice: but it is the usage of these Courts, and, there fore, there is all the force of the law to reject it; and it may thus be accounted for —When our Courts were first established, our slaves were savages from the Coast of Africa. Their want of reason and understand. ing rendered them, as the same defects would have rendered any other individual, incompetent as witnesses. That objection arising from their barbarism has, by the received opinion and practice of the Court, been at tached ever since to the servile condition ; although by the progress of Christianity, and of consequent civili zation, the force of that objection is weakened; and we now see that it is safe, expedient, and just, that such an impediment to the investigation of truth and justice should be removed—under those precautions and safeguards which the peculiar constitution of our society requires. We at once admit that the uniform and solemn decisions of a Court are binding upon the practice of that Court; but it may not be contended that they are binding upon any other independent Court of Judicature. It so happens that the Commissioners now presiding, are the Judges of the Court of King's Beach and Common Pleas, where our minds are habi tuated to the rejection of the evidence of a slave, as affecting in the remotest degree the interest of a free person. But it has been the pleasure of his Majesty to name other persons as his Commissioners, who are strangers to the Colony, to its Courts, and its customs, to whom the practice of another Court (which practice is a departure from the grand principles that govern the rules of evidence), as binding upon this, must have appeared, as indeed it does to me, a very strong attempt to invade their reason and their judgment.-1 will also put a case, not so happily, indeed, as it has been put by the Attorney-General, but still disposing of the question. Under the authority of this Commis sion, the Court can only assemble in this island ; but it Might have been the pleasure of his Majesty to autho rise the Commissioners to hold the Court in other islands also—in Dominica for instance. In Dominica, the evidence of slaves, under certain regulations, is ad- 1 mitted, as affecting free persons, in their common law' Courts. Is this Court then to shift its practice accord- 1 ing to the shifting laws and usages of the several islands? Surely we must be governed by one pre vailing comprehensible system, founded upon the law of the realm of England. But it has been said in ar- 1 gumeht, that the word slave is unknown to the law of I England. lam not prepared to admit that. It was not only known to the law of England, but was also visited with the disabilities of the servile condition ; but among these disabilities we do not find his incom petency as a witness. In 3d Blackstone's Commentaries, we find that the slave or bondman, not being liter ef legalis limo, was not allowed to sit on Juries ; but we search in vain for any disqualification of him as a witness. This is an offence not against this Colony, except as it is a component part of the empire. But, atter all, is not the question absolutely disposed of by the authority under which we are assembled? The 46. h Geo. 111. c. M, says, that the offence which is now the subject of investigation shall be inquired of, adjudged, and determined, according to the common course of the laws of this realm, and not otherwise, in PRICE SEVEN-PENCE. any of his Majesty's Colonies, by virtue of the Com mission before us. We have, therefore, simply to inns; re, what are the disabilities which, in the common course of the law of the realm, render a witness incompe tent ? These objections, we find, are fourfold—(l 18.) The first ground of incompetency is want of reason or undeistanding—a second ground is defect of reli gious principles—a third ground arises from conviction of certs in crimes,or from infam yof character —the font th and most general cause of incompetency, is interest.— And in lJerdaine o. Dashbrooke' (7 T. It. 610), Mr. Justice Lawrence said, find n 3 rrle less comprehen sive than this, that all persons are admissible witnesses who have the tr , e of their reason, and such religious belief as to feel the obligation of an oath, who have not been convicted of any infamous crime, and who are not influenced by interest.' Abstractedly speaking,. there cannot be more reason for suspecting she evidence of the witness on the floor, than that of any other individual, under the same circumstances as the injured party. if his evidence is clear, full, impartial, free from all sus picion and bias, he will produce in every mind, even in the most scrupulous, the strongest and deepest con victiln, without any regard being had to his servile acid degraded condition. If, on the contrary, by any con tradictory statements, or by any of those indications which those who are practised in our Courts know how to detect and to expose, as discrediting a witness, he will not be worthy of credit, and all that he utters will fall harmless, as it regards the prisoner at the bar. In short, it is the character of the witness, and the charac ter of the evidence, that must prevail (1 Phil. 148). Under these consiJerations, it is our unanimous opinion that this is a competent witness." The witness, Branch Hull, was then sworn, and stated the circumstances in substance as follows :—That he met the prisoner one day in Charlestown, and went, by his invitation, to his house; prisoner inquired if he was a free man ? witness replied " Not' prisoner said, " What! such a man as you a slave?'' and asked to whom witness belonged? he replied, " to Mr. Webbe ;" prisoner told him he hd carried many friends from I several islands, and if witess would geta little money, he would carry him; witness asked how much he would carry him away for ? he said a doubloon; and told him, on his leaving, that he must keep a still tongue, and say nothing about it. Witness went to town another day, and prisoner asked him if he was ready? he replied "I am ready—what do you ask me now ?" prisoner said, "as you have been picking up money a long time, 20 dollars ; witness proposed to him to take stock, to which he agreed, and witness was to carry him a pig for four dollars on the following Sunday; the prisoner said, " If anybody asks you about the pig, say it is mine, that I bought it from you;" witness carried hire the pig, and asked him, if he took him away, where he would put him? he said; " How can you ask so foolish—do, you think I am going to put you where you would be troubled? give me 20 dollars, and I will give yolt a pass; look at your master's negro, William Law rence, I . took him away, and he is making plenty of money; told witness to call next night; when prisoner took him to Arrindell's house, and the bargain was made—witness to give a goat and two sheep, and what money he could get; witness carried the sheep, saw Fletcher and Arrindell together, and gave the latter two dollars towards the passage money ; this was on Friday; prisoner told him to call the next day early, and he would take him away ; he went, carried his clothes to Arrindell's house, and slept at Fletcher's that night; on Sunday morning, prisoner said," You must not stay here through the day, people will suspect ;" witness went to Black-rock Fort, and remained there till night, when he returned to prisoner, and told him he had for gotten his promise about the pass; prisoner wrapped him up in the beat's sails, and told him to stay until he came for him ; prisoner came, and witness assisted in carrying five or six boxes of salt fish and other things to the boat, and also put into it his clothes ; prisoner, Arrindell, and witness, got into the boat (called the Vigilant, belonging to Mary Gardener), and proceeded to sea; it was very calm; witness asked for something to eat ? prisoner said he had not a knife, witness gave him his, which he did not return, and winless after. lwards saw he had one tied up in a handkerchief, which gave him suspicion ; shortly after, prisoner said to wit ness, "We are going to gibe ;" they were then in the channel between Montserrat and Rodunda, Arrindell steering ; prisoner went to trim the boat, and said to witness, " We are going to gibe, you must sit on the gunnel ;" witness sat close to, but not on, the gun. nel; prisoner edged up to him, and bade him sit on the gunnel ; he did so, and Fletcher and Arrindell then spoke in some language he did not understand ; Arrindell afterwards said to the prisoner, " What the devil are you about ?" upon which, prisoner took witness by the leg, and chucked him overboard, say ing, " Ali, my boy, I have got you, you will soon be stifle' witness caught the boat aft, and told the prisoner it was cruel; Arrindell laid hold of his wrists, saying, "Let go the boat, you d—d rascal !" witness held on; prisoner came to the stern, held witness's head down on the gunnel, and Arrindell raised the tiller ; witness looked up, and exclaimed, " Oh GOD I' and Arrindell let the tiller fall; prisoner said, " What the devil are you doing, why not kill the man? do you want a fishing-boat to come up, and make trouble for us, and we shall not be able to go to Nevis again ?" Pi isoner then stretched out his foot for the knife that had fallen out of his handkerchief, which witness seeing. he slipped away, and went down in the water ; when • he rose, be pretended to be unable to swim ; prisoner said, " Ah, my boy, I have put you where I have put many, in a few minutes you'll be stiff;" this happened between one and two in the morning of Monday (October 11); they had left Nevis the preceding night late; the boat sailed away, with witness's clothes, &c. which he never recovered; he remained in the sea until nine or ten o'clock, when be was picked up by a fishing boat ; he had been swimming all the time, endeavour - ing to get back to Nevis. John Wilkinson sworn—He said that be had gone out fishing early on the morning of the 11th October, and seeing something at a distance in the sea he made up to it, and it proved to be Branch Hull, who at tempted to get into the boat, but was unable to do so from weakness; witness assisted him in, and he sa t down, trembling very much, and, on recovering a lade WANTED, by a Respectable MARRIED MAN, either in TOWN or COUNTRY, the latter by choice, a situation to SUPERINTEND a MANUFACTORY; or is competent to Keep a set of Books correctly and neatly, and can adduce unquestionable References for Integrity and Steadiness-- Was brought up in the Tanning Business, in which a Management would be preferred.

HAPPINESS 84 the gay to-morrow of the mind" is insured by marriage ; the strictest tie of perpetual Friend ship," is a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by which, siys Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association, with celestial intelligence." Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free. dorm of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be holder,should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the na tural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then, we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength, felicity; nor will our advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of 20 years' successful experience. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath —for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, aid with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empyrie from the position so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general principles with less hesitation; and confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering community of either Sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consultation ; and letters from the country are immediately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world however distant.

GENTLEMEN —The great cure performed by your ANUSCORZUTIC Daors upon my wife, deserves to be made as public as possible, I therefore send you the particulars, in hopes you will publish them. For upwards of four years, she was a complete cripple , with an ulcerated sore leg, and although we had the advice of several respectable Gentlemen of the Faculty, under one of whom she was more than three years, she derived no be nefit whatever. Aboirt twelve months ago, we heard of your Aw -1 ISCOREUTIC Daors, and determined to try them. When she com menced their use, she was unable to walk across the room, but before she had finished the first bottle, she could walk with ease, and by perseverance is now restored to health. Since she was cured, we have recommended the Drops to several of our neigh bours, who were dreadfully afflicted, and they have all received great benefit. I shall be happy to give further particulars to any enquirers, and remain your obedient and grateful servant, ROBERT TIPPER, Smith, Thomas -street, Higher Hillgate. N.B.
