Did you see the prisoner during the time of the mutiny,. and if you did, state his condua, dur ing that time I know the prisoner very well ; he belonged to the main-top at the time of the mu_ tiny—soon after the mutiny commenced I saw him before my cabin door with arms in his hands ; he was calling to take the Officers out- to put them to death ; he was alive in' the mutiny, as any in the ship.—l saw him in the Captain's - cabin, where there - were - a great number of the principal mtitiii . eers as.: sembled and he with them ;—they were boasting of what horrid deeds they had. done in. murdering the Officers ; and the prisoner said that he had assisted in murdering Captain Pigot, that he had cut him three or font- times, that he had assisted in heaving him , out of the window, that Captain Pigot spoke to --him and said " Forrester ,are you against the too !"—He said yes, you bloody rascal.

No, never. He always looked on me with contempt, and appeared to me to be one who wanted to murder me—at least I thought so.

Q. ' Did you see the Prisoner during the mutiny ; and if you did, state to the Court his' conduaon that occasion ?—A. On. the night of the mutiny I was tying up the centinel's head at the 'cabin door, which had been cut ; I saw Forrester, the Prisoner, about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour afterwards enter. the cabin with. three or four more; one of them William Heard. A few minutes after I heard a noise in the cabin _David Forrester, the'nrisoner, came out of the, cabin with a cutlas - s or tomahawk in his hand, I cannot be v . .ositive which ; he tapped me on the shoulder and said, " have just launched your bloody mister overboard, and he said to me as I was launching him overboard, " Oh! David Forrester, are .yott'against me too . 0 The —,'l gave him his death-wound, I believe, before he went out of the window." I afterwards saw him when the Second Lieutenant, or Lieutenant of Ma rines, I cannot be positive which, as they were dragging him up the ladder ; I saw him chop at him several times with , a cutlass or tomahawk ; there were ten or a dozen ,round him, chopping at him ; and when the prisoner could not chop at him, lie stabbed him ; I saw the blood running down'the Lieutenant's thighs ; his shirt was stained' also with blood ;. I was standing between the mainmast and my own birth. I afterwards saw the prisoner on the quarter-deck at the time the Captain's plate and money were sharing. A. day or two afterwards, at. I was Walking the starboard gangway, I saw the prisoner come forward with two or three silver spoons in his hand and some gold ; he was disputing with - Croker, the Gunner's Mate, about his share of the prize -money ; that he had not received what he deserved, ashe thought he was a principal in the murders or massacres. I 'saw him afterwards once in La auira, and never saw him afterwards till I tork him in Point -street, Portsmouth. I haw him with ,c -veral of the Officers clothes, such as shirts amid white stilckiiws, on. Q. When the prisoner spoke to you on' cc m:ng out of the cabin, did you speak to hun ?—A.

MORTON, at No. iB, in the Strand; respedfully informs the Public, that he instructs Gentlemen in the use of the Thermometer, and the appli cation of that Instrument relative to Brewing, and will furnish them with Manuscript Instrudions, which enable them to practise the Art of Brewing Porter, Pale Ale, and other Malt Liquors. He will also furnish them wirh Manu script Instructions for making Pale and Brown Malts, after the roost approved pradice, and having been long in business upon his own account, and taking a pleasure in trying many and various experiments, and noting their result, it has given him a degree of practical and experimental knowledge, in the different lines of his profession, which very few possess, as can be proved from the many Letters and Vouchers of the most eminent Brewers both in Great Britain and Ireland, highly approving of his different modes of pradice, and many of these Gentlemen he never had the pleasure of`seeing. His Manuscripts put it in the power of Gentlemen to brew an exceeding fine flavoured Porter from Malt and Hops alone, combined with the simple element of Water, with out the use of any other ingredient whatever. Any address, sent post-paid, to D. Morton, will be d u ly attended to.--tie returns his respedful Thanks to those Gentlemen who have approved so highly of the utility of his Manuscripts and professional Abilities. i)()N : Printed by BUCHANAN M.II4II,LAN, (oingiv-Street o Covent-CJnlcn) ; and Published by W t 1.1.1 At.l A R CAR SCR r rs, (of liorse-ferry-road, Westminster); At ti , e SUN-OFFICe, .No. • )2, Stripa ; where ddvertisernents, Orders for the Paper, Letters for the Edior, Se.

The prisoner being called on for his-defence, said, that he had no hand in mnr&rilig the Captain, but assisted in throwing him overboard. he re quested Lieutenant Southcott to be called in again ; when the prisoner asked him— _ Q. Did you see.me in the Captain's 9abin with the rest of the mutineers ?—A. Yes, many limes. Q. Did you see me with arms before your cabin door ?—A. Yes, you had a cutlass, I am 'certain, and . another weapon •; I heard you say you had as sisted to murder the whole of the Officers. Having nothing else to offer in his behalf, the Court was cleared, and in less than an 'hour it was re-opened, when the following Sentence was pro nounced : " That the Court was of opinion the Charges had been proved against the said David Forrester, and did adjudge him to suffer Death, by*being hang.. .ed by the iiecleon board such - Ship of His Majesty at Spithead, or in Portsmouth Harbour, and at such time, as the Com Missioners for executing the offi:e of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, or any three of them, for the time being, should dire Et. He was executed accordingly, as ,stated in a for mer Paper. He was• attended by the Rev. J. Davis, Chap lain of the Garrison, and Rev. J. Hall, of the Royal Hospital, Hadar, to whom, just before he was launched into eternity, he made the following' con fession : That he went into the cabin and forced' Captain Pigot overboard through the port, while .he was alive. He then got on the quartei-deck, and found the First Lieutenant begging for his life, saying he had a wife and three children totally depending on him for support ; he took hold of him and assisted in heaving him overboard alive, and declared Ile did not think the people would have taken his life had he not first took hold of him.-- 7 A cry was then heard 'through the ship, that Lieutenant Douglas could not be found ; he took a lanthorn and candle and went into the gun-room, and found the Lieuten ant under the Marine - Officer's cabin ; he called in the rest of the 'people, wllen they dragged him on deck and threw him overboard. He next caught hold of Mr. Smith, Midshipman, a scuffle en sued, and finding him likely to get away, he struck him with his tomahawk, and threw him overboard. . The general cry next was for put ting all the Officers to death, that they might not. appear as evidence against them ; he .seize a on the Captain's Clerk, who was immediately put to .death. These, he said, were The whole oihis ac tions during the murdering of the Officers. He called God to witness, hoped he would forgive him, and said his mind was easy after making the above confession.
