The Prionner WOO brought in, and audience ad ruittet The order from the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Adrutradty, rimed the id day of February Masa, setting forth that a letter had been addressed to their Lordships by the Right Honourable Charles Bathurst, inclosisig a ktter to hits from Mr. Charles Motgan Tilt/fuss. dated His Majesty's slip Neptune, Fort Royal Ray. Marti nique, the 34th March, 1809, in which it is stated, that the Honourable Warwick Luke, when Com mander of His .11.jesty's sloop Recruit, did, on the 13th of December, /SO7, cause a Neuman, of the name of Robert Jeffery, to be lauded 441 the desert island Sombrero, and that, iu consequence Of the slid letters. Weir Lordships directed, by their Se cretary's letter of the nth of December, 1809, Ad miral Sir Roger Curtis, Bart. to cause on inquiry to be made tato the enctunstatice above-mentioned ou board His Majesty's said sloop Recruit • and that the Adiniral had transmitted to their Lord ehihis, in his letter to their Secretary of the 9th of December, 1809, a report, deie the day preced ing, which he had rectivfl frorw the Captains of 1.111 M 'jetty's ships n am e in the margin, by which it at/pearl, on examining the log of the Recruit, that Robert Jeff.ry, a seaman of the said sloop, was landed on the island Sombrero, on the 13th of December, 1887, at ti p. es. and directed to the President to assemble a Court-Martial to inquire into the conduct of the said Honourable Warwick Luke, as Commander of His Majesty's stoop Re cruit, upon the occasion above-mentioned, arid to try him, fur having ordered and caused the said Robert Jeffery to lie lauded on the said island of So ribrers, an the 13th of December, 1807, at six, p.tsr. was read. - _ _ The Members of the Court and the Judge- Advocate, then in open Court, proceeded to trial. Captain Lake delivered • paper-writing to the Court, as follows :—" I submit that 1 never dis puted or denied the specific charge of lauding the man ; it .tends admitted by my letter to the Lords of the Admiralty; and I am now willing, in order to save the time of this Honourable Court, to ad mit the sp..ciiic charge for which the Lords Corn miveiriners have been pleased to put me on trial by this Hun. Court." The Cettrt was cleared, and agreed, that, not withbtanding the above admission, it M4ll necessary the Court aliotild hear the - evidence of the ructA, to enable them to form their judgment upon the ease. Mr. EDWAIIQ Selma se, fete Neste/His Meier. Ws sloop ftecsitii, called is, ex swore. The JUDGE ADVOCATE said--You will be pleased to state to the Court what you know of the charge against Camino Lake :—On the 13th of December, 1807, standing to the northward, and the islaud of Sombrero bearing east from the ship, distant from her about a mile and u half, (which island is about five or six leagues from the Dog and Prickly Pear Island, in the West ladies), Captain Lake came on deck, and came to the gang way, where 1 was standing, between the hours of Ave and six in the afternoon, arid asked, What island is this ? I answered, it was the island of Sombrero. Captain Lake said, have we not some thieves on boanl ? to which I said, yes ; there are two, who hare been guilty of theft : Capt. Lake immediately said, send up Jeffery here; the man soon came op. Capt. Lake told him, I:e would not keep such a fellow in his ship, and that he should send hint on shore. Capt. Luke afterwards went up to Lieut. Mould. 2d Lieutenant, who was car_ tying on duty at the time, and spoke to him, hut 1 did not hear what passed. In about a quarter or half an hour afterwards, Captain Lake said, bear ii-hand, and land the man, and come off. At this time Liettenaat Mould was in the boat aster.. as was also Robert Jeffery, from the time he was called to the gangway, until I saw him pass•the gangway, to go into the hoot ; he was at that time looking for his things, mid lie was called to go into the boat, over the stern. I did not see the boat put off, but aft. r she was off I heard Captain Lake hail the Lieutenant to bear 'Amid, and land the man, and come off I have omitted mentioning, that. before the man was ordered into the boat, Captain Lake ordered the painter to get a piece of canvas, and paint on it " Thief," which I did not see done. I was on deck between the hours of sever. and eight coVeck, when the boat returned, and Jeffery was not then in the lama; the land was liol4ed up, and we made sail to the northward. The Court asked—Wis there any alter or pro vt.inns put into the bait that t ui del iVolivrt Jeffery. for In% use did not see ally ; neither did I hear tine ordered. Were his clothes put into the boat'—No, they were not ; I saw them, the next day I think, on board ; he was dressed in a bock end trowsers, not haring any hat or shoes on at the time I NM him. ON the following day I dined with Capt. Lake, and, ju.t as he was rising up to quit the table, Captain Like sent, I wonder how old friend Jeffery comes or now; I suppose he is got housed by this time. Are there any bowies sa Sombrero ?—None. I is,se on the island afterwards, on the 1 ith day of . February, 1808. 1 WAS sent on shore by Captain Lake, accompanied by Lieut. itrlmild, to see if I r.oi'd lice any thing of the men (Jeffery), and tee what sort of an island it wee. I went on shore with Lieut. Mould, in the boat, and walked over some part of the island, where we fru•id a great many iggs, and young birds sitting on their nrs•s. nut capable of king away; they are large hi-cis, ■tad when at full sue are celled noddies; we could not find any fresh water. I tasted many pools, and it was *aier which I tasted. The Island was entirely herreii, ',mini% but a kind of rtmgh grew "Reed, which was in the mi idle of the iidand; there wea no house or inhabitant on it. On the island fiend • remnant of a pair of traesers much torn, and the handle of a tomahawk or hatchet, which were the only things I found on the island. I did not fled Jeffery there, nor any tr ices of him, fur I minutely sury yed every part of the Wend: it has a criggy ascent. and flat when you get upoi, it; it is about a mile and a half in circiunfevence. We went back to the ship at twelve o'clock, according to Capt. Lakes order ; we were about an boar and a half at that time on the island. %Ve brouOt off with us some of the egvi and young bi•ds. We went a second time in the if crones', and cin ird with us muskets and slugs to afloat Liida, and to look for the man; then it was We found the trove*. era. Lieut. Mould, and Mr. Hobson. and Mr. Salmon went with as. We surveyed the island all over, taking ditlitrent rents: we did not bill the man, nor any troves of him then; we retuned about six or seven o' c l oc k an h oar d. Capt. Lake came to the shore of the island, but did not laud, and re. turned with us on board. The log-book of His Majesty's sloop way prw dueed, b-giuoiog May. 1807. Is that the 1.,g-book of His Majesty's sloop Res eruit of that time ?—Yes. Who wrote it ?—Mr. Jones. the Master's Mate s who is dead ; he wrote it under my direetion. Did yoc. from time to time. as 'Mester of the Recruit. examine the cutries made thereTri?-I.did, at datfereut times; but was not correct iu olkarv.. ing every day. Turn to the entry of the 13th day:of December, 1807. and state to the Court wino you examined that entry after it was UMW! ?—lt might be sieveral days after. Do you know that the •ereral circumstances there stated are true and correct I—f do ; except the words " Jeweled down hoot and •landed Robert Jeffery, seaman. 6. 50. up boat. and made sad." —This bring omitted by the Motet's Mate, who had not inserted it in the log-hook, I therefore in. seated it tmselfsevend days afterwards, on not see. ing it there. Did you acquaint lieutenant Monk, that you had made such entry ?—1 did not. as all hands were upon deck at the tine the beat was lower•d down; Captain Luke did not know 1 bed wade it, hut the officers of the ship knew it. What is the nearest inhabited island totioni la ere ? —To the best of my knowledge, I think it•ia An guilla. which is, 1 believe, seven or eight league* distance. At what distance do vessels gerterally pass from the island of Sernbrero?..4 hare heard they pus near, but newer SAW them ; the }teem t was witisits a quarter of a mile from Sombrero; the channel is about lire or six leagues across, and I have heard that ti se French fishermen come there turtling. Had any slope been taken to ascertain if there we►e any inhabitants on the island p►erium to Jef fery being ordered to be landed doers, or provisions or water do not know. Do you know that there were any 14;e a or young bias so the isliadia tlr mon% oT Dierlialter, ur was it likely, from your observations, that any were there at the time?-1 do not know that there were any, bat I think it is very likely that there were some at the time. Did Lieutenant Mould. or• any other °Seer, point out to Captain Lake what would be the Iwo hable faie of Jeffery ou tbat day or the following ? —Not that I heard. What distance was the island of Sombrero from the ship the next day ?--In the morning, about day-light, the island bore abont mou,o-rest and by west, about five or six kaguts distance, being within sight. Are the Court to understand, that. if Captain Lake had been indisposed, he might then have re turned to the island mud taktujetirry off ?—Yes ; think Captain Lake might hare door it. How Wes the wiud eimt-south.rant. •t the time Captain Lake asked whether there were au) thieve-sow board, did pr.+ name J,iliery.as owe ?—I ckd out mention any rune. Do you know why Jeffety's clothes were not sent with him?—He dial not bring them up with him, stud they were nut brought up before the boat shoved Captain Lake ordered the boot to shove off. and said. " never mind his things." Did Lieutenant Mould bring any me , sage is Captain Lake, on his return from Je fcry, cams. sive of his apprehension of his intuition. sod de. siring to be taken off?—:got that I heard. Did you hear Captain Lake forbid sissy water ar provisions being put into the boat for Jeffery t•-• No ; I did not. Do you know what crime Jeffery hid committed that induced Captain Lake to inflict this pram's. meet on him recollect, in the month of No. veinber. 1807, he was charged with going iota the gunner's calibin, and taking out a bottle, with sane rum in it; he was punished for it by flogging bun, as a m:ta. On the 13th of Member follow •ing he was charged with Lroachin: a cask of spruce beer, which had hero brewed for the ship's coups pony, for which he was not punished ; but it was proved by some persons who saw him do it. Do you know of Jeffery'a baring been guilty of any other crime. subsequent to the punishment he received, besides that of his having broached the cask of spruce beer ?—Net to the best of my recol lection. What distance is the island of Anegada from Sombrero ?—1 suppose nearly ten or eleven 'caries.
