UNWARRANTABLE PROCEED
INGS. [FACTS.]
To record any tranfa&ion which i^
sleds disgrace upon our fellow citizens
isa very disagreeable talk—But silently
to pdfs over the unlawful and riotous
proceeding oh Saturday night; would
argue a gross deficiency of duty. Its
rife ard p'rogr fs we shall endeavour to
g narrate with justice and impartiality:
On Friday laftjt was reported, that
one of the Bermudian privateers; which'
had been among the late depredators on'
American commerce, had come into
th^harbour, to Water. This roused
the feelings of many ; and tome incon
siderate perlon, issued a short hand-bill,
casing on the citizens to attend the ex
hibitioQt the end of Long-Wharf, of
dismantling a Bermudian privateer.'
Accordingly a considerable number at
tended ; and about nine o'clock on Sa
turday night, attacked the sloop Speed
well of allifax, from New Provi
dence; plundered and cut her mast; rig
ging &c.^o pieces; and to complete
the bnfintfs, at about 12 o'clock towed
her office theftream, and ft fire to'
her; thrteby rilking the deftruftion of
the fhippjng at anchor, and, in fad, the
to^n ofparleftown, to which, the tide
being ^^j (he drifted fraud where
,1k 3?a<mfoeli for fire, wa, r^ng.—How
ever, by the active exertioos oT f%ffie of 7
the inhabitants, the blazing hull was
towed into ricove, and there burnt to
rhe water's edge. In dismantling the'
sloop, fpme military stores were found;
on'bbrid 6% Which served to etafper
'atethe rioters, and perhaps provoked -
them to the lengths they finally. Went:
Thef, we have ascertained, to be two'
iron 3 pounders, two swivels, eight
mufquets, about forty charges of shot,
and i § lb. powder. -Theft were taken
on board at Halifax, and intended
merely, as appears by the declaration
of the Captain, the clearance, and by
' the extreme weakness of the crew (no
more than four men) as a defence a
gainst the gun-boats, and small armed
craft, which cruise about the Bermudi
an iflands,and arefitted out at Chaflef
ton. Capt. Meagher; who 'Comman
ded the sloop, has declared, on oath,
that he never was concerned in any pri
vateering, or wks ever entered in a Bri
tish King's (hip, and has, before Mr.
Justice Barret protested, on oath, that
thefloop Speedwell [rpentiohed through
mistake to be the Betsey of St. Croix;
in the Governor's Proclamation ; from
the circumstance ofher having; to es:
tape privateers, that name on her Bern]
is owned at Halifax, by Mr. Thomas
Fillis, merchan" John Crolkill, and
himfelf, marines; all of Halifax.—^
That (he failed from thence about the
: beginning of April, oh a trading toy#
age, for New-Providence, having for
his crew foot men unify and having on
board as cargo, falmonj mackrell, pota
toes, flour, boards, some fifh,&c. That
on Ms return from New-Providence to
Nova—Scotia having on board besides
1509 dollars in fpiecie, lignam-vitz,
hides, pine apples, &c. [we learn to the
amount, with the vessel, of near 10,000
dollars] meeting with contrary winds,
and being apprehensive his pine-apples
would damage, he came into this port,
made a regular entry of vessel and car
go, at the Cuftorn- House, and obtain
ed a permit to lahd and dispose of his'
cargo; and ffiat she was defttoyed, as
is represented above. The papers of
the sloop, -which were lodged in town,
before the riot took place, prove the
\,rcprefeotations ofthe Captain; and
