Relate to the Court what paired be tween you and Collins in the ttore-roons a on the afternoon of Thurfday, the loth of De ce mb er . letrarfr.—On Thurfday afternoon the hands had been turned out on the quarter-deck; Collins came below to the Reward's room to turn Come meat which was in the pickle. I began to difcourfe with hint as follows: 'Collins, what do you think of the fpeech the Admiral made on the quarter-deck?' I thank (replied Collins), he (poke like a father.' He (poke very well, (kid I), and we may hope no* the men's minds are quieted.' He replied. • for the prefent. But the Admiral Paid to-day he had no orders to unmoor ; whereas on Sunday he told us he expeded we would unmoor Chip when the wind came fair.' I told him the letter was addreffed in a very retpedful manner, except the latter part; (I meant the letter the Admiral read on the quarter deck). I wonder who wrote it I' He an(wered, the perfon is not far from you, and there were twelve of us, and could not make it any better ;' &tiling at the fame time. He did not mention any of the perfon's names. I Paid' I hope. Collins, whatever diffike the men may have to go abroad, their intentions are not to ufe vio lence to any officer or perfon whatever.' He re plied, I don't think it is, or even difrefpea ; you ke how well they do their duty; but did you ob terve the officers today on the quarter-deck, they had not even their de arms, for I think tkey. were damnably frightened. Don't think fo, Collins, (aid I ; it was not f ear; it i s not t h e w ith nor die potation of the Admiral to hurt any one, and of this you mutt be convinced by what you heard to. nay. The men have not any grievances, they have the bet' of ufage, and what more can they require ? Why, replied he, they are determined not to go abroad, and they have tried the !hips in England, and they will not go, and I know I won't if I can help. Why I - believe Collins, not even the Admiral himfelf wiffies to go; but our country wants our fervices. He then went away. Q L Bight Prgfeless.—Do you know Rowland? 1 11.. Yes.

JAW. 9. • This morning the Court affembled st 9 o'clock, and the prifonsrs were called on for their defence. But Mr. Baur, their Counfel in their behalf, ac quainted the. Court, that- the prifoners were not fully prepared, and that they requefted the indul gence of three hours to enable them to arrange mote effeCtually the fyllem of their defence. The Court readily granted the application,and adjourn ed over for that period. At twelve o'clock the Court again met. THE'DEFENCr.

Court, 44 For the firft time in my life I am called upon to anfwer before a Court Martial an accufation of any kind, more efpecially that of mutiny. Con. feious of my innocence, I Mall endeavour to re move the fatal of eas of the evidence which fup ports it, which I lhall attempt to do with as little occupation of the Court as the cafe will admit, withing earneftly to give as little trouble as polfi bte ebertnne, added to the acknowledgments I am bound to entertain for the patient and labo rious hearing they have already bello we d i n t h e invefligation of the evidence againft me, I dire farther to fupplicate a like exertion of the fame confiderate attention to the evidence I !hall ad duce in my behalf, convinced, that whenever there (hall appear any eircumftance favourable to my cafe, I (ball derive from their jußice and hu manity every advantage of it, for which my gra titude !ball never ces4 to Row. I have fervedhis Majelly feveral years without crime or blemifh ; I have uniformly polfeffed the good opinion of my officers, and my whole life has been one uniform exertion to deferve it, by obferving a due refpeft for them, and a fine attention to my duty. I am confequently a man very unlikely at this period to falfify fuck an opinion, by a difgraceful adherence to mutiny. As well as I can I !tall endeavour therefore to remove the accufation; but, if the evidence I than bring fortb.will not, according to the Articles of War and the Aria rules of naval difcipline, amount to an exculpation ofthe offence imputed to me, I have but one refource left—an appeal through the medium of your humane re commendation, to the mercy of that Sovereign, in defence of whore Aldan and Government Uhive bent ever ready to fhed the left drop of my blood. I fought in the battle at Romeo Bay, 'and on the 7th of February volunteered my fervices.to Rorm and take Fort Matilda. I did the fame at Tou-, kap at Cunveption Hill likewife, and never ceafed • to do my duty: I (hall now proceed to call my viitneffes." George Lamb, Captain of the Force:tale, (worn. —The wand's remembered hearing Mayfield l'a,r he would not go aft for fear of the confequelices ; for it was very little concern to him whether h went to the Welt Indies or not : never heaid of any oath being adminiftered in Mayfield's birth.

Had heard Mayfield fay he would have nothing to do with the ifilturbances in.the (hip. Never law the Prifoner affißityg the officers. James Branning fworn.—Recolleaed the pri. loner being in his birth on Monday night,Tuefday night, and Wednefday night, generally from the time the hammocks were piped down,till the lights were put out, hearing him, the witnefs, read the hißory of Jofeph Andrews. Never law him WM ing the officers in fuppreffing the difturbances. Lieutenant Wal(h callecl—Q What do you know of Mayfield's general cbaraZter ? A: He has been in the (hip two years, always behaved pretty well, and had a good charalter. Q_What do you know of Ward ? A. He has a very good charac ter in the ihip, but Chefterman was always looked upon as a very dangerous character. Fitzgerald fometimes very troublefome. Hillier's charafter has been very fair ; a very ative good man till the mutiny. Cummins a very decent good man till the mutiny. )aly a very good char-atter, a man very much refpeited, no o ffi cer ever thought it ne ceffary to look after him. Lieutenant Brown fworn.—l can fay nothing of Mayfield. Ward has behaved himfelf particularly well, never has been found fault with. Hillier, I . never heard a complaint agaiall ; he was particu larly attentive to his duty, I never law him drunk. Daly, a very good character, has been noticed by every officer in the (hip for his good character. Lieutenant Wal(h fworn.—Did I not commu nicate to you that I found fome handfpikes and crows when I was cleaning the manger, and that I removed them, laying, there fhould be no fuch thing there He told me fo on the 12th of December, after the mutiny, when I was queftion ing him in my cabin.—Q._ Did I not tell ypuithat I would fooner fail round the world than have any noife in the (hip, or hear of any ? A. You told me at the fame time fomething to that effeCt.--Qpid I not tell you it was no difference to me when the (hip was paid off, as I intended to Ray in the fer vice • as I was a married man and could fupport my family as well with the wages his Majefty gave as with the Merchants?—A. Something to that drat. Q. From the rf to the t ith did you fee Daly siffißlis officers in quelling the mutiny ?—A. No. John Eaton (worn.—Q._ Did you not fee me on Thurfday night, before - the dilturbapee, throw Come handfpikes and crows out of the manger, and fay they should not be there ?—A. Yes. Janus Chejleraman was next called upon, and he &leered in a paper, which was read by the judge Advocate, and was to the following eft& ;- 46 Mr. PrOdera, and Gentlemen of this Honourable Court, " It is next my unhappy lot to folicit your eon fiderate attention to my unfortunate cafe, and to call your notice to the evidence which I flail pro.. duce on my behalf, perfuaded that I (hall meet, from the wifdom and difcernment of the Court, all that patient regard to my intereft which their juf tice may deem me deferving of, and which the circumftances that I labour under will allow. In the evidence of one of the witneffes brought forth to fupport the profecution, it is Rated, that I en. tertained the intention of committing murder. If the whole tenor of my life could he a contradiaion to it ; if the condua I have always difplayed in his Majelly's fervice ; if the behaviour I always manifefted in the Temeraire, to the inflant I was accufed of mutiny, could contradia it, I think I (hould refute the foul charge. And here, in the pretence of ALM tc itrv.Gop, I moft folemnly de clare that fo barbarous a thought never entere d my head. I (budder at the bare mention of it, as applied to me. I know, however, that any thing arifing from my bare affertion can be but of little moment ; but I truf I than be able to produce fuch teftimony as will remove the accufation. For the ref I rely upon GOD, and the humanity and jultice of this Court. I pretend not to more in trepidity than other men, but on this (Keeton I feel myfelfjultified in laying, that I have fought my country's battles, and in all things did my duty as a feaman ought, far from dirobedience. and farther from sr (loyalty fill, during a hard fez.- vice of nine years. I Was in the battles of the 14th of March, a 79 5, of the 13th of July, and the lath of February. I (crated under Earl St. Vincent, and two honourable Admirals of this Court.

For that purpofe I (ball call upon thefe Gentlemen, and I troll, that fo far from manifeking either dillike or difobedience.
