Mgr lis P" he busiaest, and ',was the Master of ttr# two Appren flees ,vho entriposed part of the crew of the Ad venqtre. If' he were asked, why, in order to render their fund more profitable, .they had tot filled the vessel with' Merely all Iniaber, in tead of ? he coUld assign* tWo reasons for T'irst, because all the creW could .not be entrusted with the secret ; arid secondly; becatse they ex_ pefled the vessel might go to Gibraltar, and the C aptain from thence furnish two accounts, the one for themselves, and the other,. a false one, for the t r ilderwriteis, which would 'enable them to sue for a p%artial loss. On thii occasion Mr. GARROW s aid, 'an obserVatiOn struck him, which he always found to hold good in the course of his experience amongst men, that it' is-ever the fate of knavery to have a due proportion of fcdly mingled with it.— Such was the case here, for Brighton, so surrounded by fishing and other boats, was one of the worst Places in the world for oraflising, with success, .any villainy of this kind. This was soon felt by Easter_ V. and impresSed by him in A. conversation which he thought was not overheard - by any other parties but•thost who were interested, wherein he said to Codlinrr ". You made a d—n'd bOngling job- of This ; why not Sink - her 'on" the Coast of France, f f rom, which the boat .may go' to either shore ?"- -Lhe remark was very just, for had the Captain'been cunnirtenough to haye done that on the COast o f Prance which he did at Brighton, no further inquiry could well have taken place, and .the Underwriters mould have of - course been - defrauded, while the of fenders must havoescaped with impunity. Epter_ . by then inquired of Cooper whether the hole was of the size of the handle of a carpenterN which lay on the floor in the room ? and being an. sweredin the affirmative, he desired to sharpen the end of the handle, that he may plug it so as not: to be perceived, should 'the ship come to land, which there was every appearance of its doing. The next circumstance he had to advert to, would chew be contrdaidion, t h at LlO y d' s Coffee-house was the Port and market. for which the ship was destin ed ; as, no sooner could they get pen and ink, than _vl'Farlane and Easterby set about making an aban. t ionmetit. There were some otherpoints deserving the i r 4ttention. If this had been a fair transaftion, e v 'O ne of the crew were entitled to any wages, not b It ntanding which they were all paid ; and Easter direfled Cooper to come to London; and keep close, , because, should he be taken, sentence 9f death would pass upon him. Notwithstanding *heir cockets, bills of lading, and manifest, yet the goods described in them were not on hoard, but in M.Farlane'S private dwelling-house, from which they were conveyed to the lodgings of the sister of a Lady who was then conc.eaed with hirn,'M'Far lane observing that it would he odd and dangerous • if they were found in his hotise: It could not, however, escape the notice' of the Jury, that there Ivould have been nothing odd or dangerous in the circumstance, *if there had been no - fraud. --Mr. tasterby staid, for some time longer in Brighton, and was, together with Read, examined before a magistrate in the Country, by whom they were discharged. After the intercepted Letter from C odling, it was thought right that he should be ap. Prehended, and the means 11:: took to avoid it, were llot these of a man- relying on his innocence; for though it would be proved that he remained at •the time at home, he was inquired for in vain on Satur .dity,, Sunday, and- Monday, when he found-himself under the necessity of surrendering. He'contrasted ' this-behaviour with the conduct of the Mate, Coop.. er, who freely surrendered at his-mother's house at axmlindlwm, as soonashe had-been inquired after. There - was an additional circumstance of something 'pore than suspicion in the goods of considerable va lue found in the dwelling.house.s of two of the Fri.. k)ners. One of the Witnesses to this point was c ertainly a very unwilling' one, being a woman c onnefted with M‘Failane,. whose evidence they Could.not have, only that she happened not to be ?S wife. A great part of these goods consisted of !dyer and plated articles, which Easterby took'out "d unpacked himself, saying there were other goods (t 1 • 'nix -with them, after which one debenture was mix for the whole. It was usual for 'tradesinen t° ship goods of. this kisd themselves, in order • to t,ceeive the drawback ; -but- as it was not the uni versa' praftice, he woulci not much dwell on the de.: Partur e from it in -tins instance.. They were first Contained in one large packet, but afterwards 'di vided 'into five small ones, for the purpose ; as • Easterby said, of being more conveniently stowed in- the :lockers. These. packages, however, were tot foOnd when the wrecked vessel came on-shore, and it would be proved to them that Easterby was home at the ship's side a t , night - conveying them 10 me; and that they were afterwards shipped - on board the William, one . of• his own vessels, for, the Fast Indies. Upon the whole, - it would be found t hat the Cargrrshipped on board the brig Adventure Vas n ot worth more than 30001. or 40001. at the i'ttnost, though the insurance attually made upon it \v as 90001. and would have been 13,000 i: only for S Ome suspicions which arose in the ,mind of ,the Broker. After having said thus' much, when he considered who were the Gentlemen he had the ho. 1) ( -)or to address,- he would-not attempt to impress lI Pon t h em h ow muc h i t was t h e i r d t i t y , if a f ter hearing theevidence, any rational doubt should press uPon th e i r m i n d s , - to l et t h e P r i soners h ave t h e f u ll e • enefit of it. Thomas. Cooper, examined by Mr. Gill BS, (e.• p o sed, that he entered as a private sailor before the 41 :. - -t on board the Brig Adventure, Capt. Codling, W hen the vesse l was l y i ng b e l ow Li m eh o use.. John :".° l lglas was at t h at t i m e M ate , an d t he cre w con - I , l l sted of himself, the Captain, the Mate, and two qs• Mr. Storrow used to come backward and fo rward, an d sa il e d w i t h t h em to Yarmouth. They - `Qok in zz hogsheads of tobacco; -some linen-, -and 1 . 2 or 13 , tons o f b al l ast, prev i ous l y to t h e i r fi rst ; It 4 ilin to Deal, where they arrived in safety. Doug ..42quitted the ship there, in consequence of being dttl toed, as he said, with the rheumatism. Storrow : I st) left it, and was succeeded by Mr. Read, as super -04,„,rg0. At -Deal they took i n so me cases : C o dlin g jrcred the Witness the place of Mate, vacant* by the absence of Douglas. -The Witness.said he was • "Qt qualified for if, as he did not - understand navi g,a-tiOn ; flit - Captain replied; ..tltrit - AT Itrrig as - tre"` reased him that wo u ld be enough: did •nOt i 1 again as soon ai they Might hate iftnie, w- '-‘llll-Ns • sOnn as other vessels "did, brit rertiainid ftri' some.' days; the Captain at some times saying he did not like 'the wind, and at others, that he was obliged ,to wait for the arrival of letters. They however • sailed . in five or six days, and had a boat, into which the Captain gave. stria orders that nothing should be admitted but fotir oars and plenty of tholes. • On the Friday before the-vesSel was sunk, the Cap. tarn said, they should not be in the ship eight and' forty hours, On the next day, Saturday, _he fur thersaid, that was the last night age)} should be in her; that he did not think her fit to carry -through the Bay, adding, " I do not think her life-misty -of my life or yours, and why should she be so of any other man's ?" The Witness was then on the quarterdeck, and the Master, at the helm, whom he relieved, and the latter went below. On his return, in abOut a quarter of an hour, he said to the Witness, "'Go down, you'll find an auger lying on the cabin floor, which you , will carry with • you, and . after taking up the hatches and scuttle, to get . at it more conveniently, you , will bore a hole as close as possible to the run." H e went accordingly,: and found a new auger, to which the Captain had put a handle, which„it wanted before. With this he thinks he bored three Wes,' and left it behind him, sticking in •one of them,' The Captain, in his opinion, might have got into the pike himself, but not so conveniently as he could. When he came on deck, he told what he had thine to the' Captain, who replied, " Very well, let them stand till day-light." On Sunday morning, by order of the Captain, the cabin-boy was not allowed, to comedown and breakfast in the cabin as usual, and • he' pulled the auger out of the hole in which he left it. The Captain then ,wanted to find .a. mawl, to, make the holes larger, as they did not seem to let in the water fast' enough; when the Witness re minding him of the crow.,bar, he said, "Aye, 'that is the very thing." They then went dOwn toge_ ther, and the Captain lent a hand to fasten down the lockers, that the hole might be enlarged. The Witness struck •the bar through the bottom, and the water rushed in rapidly. Read was in his bed very near the place .where the holes were made, and • the Witness heard him turn himself Several. times: He might not, however, have heard the boring,, as it made little or no noise. The Witness called him, and he got up, but returned tobed, again before the hole was enlarged with the crow-bar, and though' he might not see the hole, he might easily hear the water running in. The smallest hole was kept open, that the ship might seem leaky, and the pumps be kept going. Read was on deck at the precise time the hole was enlarged by means of the crow-bar, and the boys were not permitted to go to bed. The signal of distress was made, and the boat put out before the water came up to the deck. He had packed up his things, and put them into a bread'bag, on Friday, when the Captain said they should not remain on board 4.8 hours, and at the same time bid him not to say any thing about the Matter. While the hole was making with the crow bar the crew were kept close 'taking in sail, so that they could neither see nor hear what was goieg faeward. Reed was, up at eight o'clock in the inorning,..arid seyeraldioats Surrounded the ship on the appearance of.diediatresS signal. They,asked if we wanted any assistance, saying they, were ready to tow us into harbour. The Captain said the ship belonged to him as long' as she-could swim, and they had no business with her. He had nos doubt but the vessel went down in consequence of the holes that were made in her bottom. Read's trunk was taken on board at Deal, and taken away the next day, together with his bed, the Witness helping 'to remove them into the hoar, and they were not brought on board'anyarior.e. While it was on board, it appeared to be full of linen. When the crew went - on shore atTrighton, they repaired* to the Old Ship 'Tavern. Read then told a Welch woman that in the wreck be had' lost every thing belonging, to him. Easterby and M'Farlane came down there, as he thinks, on Tuesday, and the fOrmerasked him "where he had bored the hole, and what was the size of it ? The .Prisoner replied he could not exactly tell.' He then asked again, whether it was as large as the handle of a carpenter's chisel which , lay in the room`?' And the Prisoner answering in the ffi armative, or thereabout , he bid him. take out the handle and'sharpen it, to plug - the hole in case the ship should anme,On shore, which it was then likely "to do, as' it was driVing hard that way, Easterby then said, " Codling is a d e a-d fool, and has made a bungling job of it ; he Should have sunk the ship on the coast of France, and as the weather is 'fine, the boat might have been taken to' either shore." Read and Codling were by when these Words; were spoken, loud enough to be heard. by every person present. The two Owners then ordered the Cap_ taiii and Witness to go, to London together,: and take private lodgings, telling me that if I did,ndt •keep-..close I should be under sentence of death. Read then gave the Witness a note with direCtions where to iind , M‘Farlaue'Shoust in . Lorlon, 'after Whichhe'received nine shillings Wages, and a guinea to-bcar, his expences. fle'.came to London in the coach with 'one of theboys., Read had bespoken places for him and the Captain., but the latter 'being called back when setting off, 'he was called back by a Gentlemah, 'and the' boy sent in , his 'place.— The name of the hoy,e his companion, was George Kennedy. The pump, 'he said, had been worked when the water was let in. One of the boys made an observation, on which the Captain_ bitt him go along—that , it - was only beating - against the :run he, however, at the same time told the Witness to go down and' see what wasethe matter, bite first jogg'd and whispered him to say nothing: After "being some time at 'the Durk house,' he walked ao his mother's at Saxmundham e in Suffolk, as• he began to 'want Money, andfailed his:endeavours to get a ship: The next day after his going down, having beard that he was inquired for about sinking auship, • he sent for Mr. Archkettle, the Headlacitough; stir 'rendered;to aria told - the:whole truth 'of:the story.. • • Cross-examined by - Mr.Fust.ortsic--; - -He said, he -was -4 years of age, and , that, he made • no doubt Of the vessel having sunk in`-consequence of the made - in her bottom.

'He knew that he'had done wrong, and repented of his crime.- When he WaS' brotwlit to liondon in -a•post-Chaise, he v. , as 'exa mine'd before the Lord Mayor, and• told the same story-he did He has been in the,Compter ever since, and - Mr. LeVie there. ptofessed himself very willing to • suffer for his Offence, if the Court-thought be deserved it; bitt i at all 'events, he was determined to speak nothing but the truth. The ship, he said ) .was •: six or seven Miles• from Brighton at the time the signal of distress was made. He-never got any thing by way of reward front Captain Codling, except a new coat ; bit re ceived no money, nor any promise of any. No conversation of the .kind ever occurred between , them. .He persisted to say, that he and the -CaN taiti went'at first on' board of the Government Cut ter, but returned to the vessel again after the hawser was- lashed across, and turned the head of it, to Make'believe they wanted to get bn• shore. The Captain, ,on thatoccasion, seemed to -give 411 the assistance he could, and appeared- far from being in a hurry to quit the vessel. , On his re-examination by Mt.Gisas, said, that when he agreed to the Captain's pruppsal, of bor ing the ship, the latter told him. that.he would get as good, or even a -better birth fbr him-. • John Morris, examined by Mr. KNo W Lys, swore, " I was, an apprentice to Mr. Storrow, who went as Sopeteargo on hoard the Adventure to Yarmouth. I went on board her when she was in the River. She took in her loading while she was in the RiVer. I have seen Mr.; Easterby come to the Ship, some times in the morning before, and •after breakfast, and sometimes in the evening. When became in the day.: ' time, nothing was taker, away, but there was some sugar taken away in the evening, and got into the boat : when the packages came, I saw some'of them Opened, .for there were Stores' - for i the Ship's use, packed up in blue and brown paper. - I - do not know what each of the packages 'weighed-e they might be about 14. or is lbs. weight. ' I saw. Mr. Easterby again; but I did not see him take any thing away atter that time.,. Then' we went 'to Yarmouth, where , some bread,, flour, and pease, were taken from our Ship the Adventure, to the Ship William, which belongs to Mr. Easterby'and Mr.M'Farlane, but this was while she . was in theßiyer ;- a swivel and a cable, and some other things were taken to the William.
