TRIAL OF RICHARD PARKER.
Monday, June 26—4th day.
The Court met at nine o'clock. The Judge Advocate informed the prisoner that in consequence of his application for certain witnesses to his defence, those witnesses had been sent for to Sheerness, and were then present. The Court then informed the prisoner he might proceed with his defence, and asked him whether he chose to read it himself or to let the Judge Advocate read it?
The prisoner replied he would read it himself.
DEFENCE.
The prisoner then addressed the Court in the following terms:
"As I have been brought up from my youth to the sea, to the knowledge of some persons now present, nothing can be expected from me but a plain statement of facts, and it is impossible for me to dress up my defence in such pompous terms as I might do if I had the assistance of a lawyer."
"In the first place I beg leave to return my thanks to the Court for having indulged me with sufficient time to prepare my defence against the heavy charges which are brought against me—Nothing but a consciousness of the integrity of my intentions, and that I entered into this business with the hope of checking the progress of that bad spirit which I saw prevail among the fleet could support me in the situation which I now stand."
"Vice admiral Buckner has deposed that he has often held conversations with me and the persons who were called Delegates, and that my behaviour to him was sometimes respectful and sometimes otherwise; I never waited upon the admiral but by the orders of the Delegates, and pursuant to the instructions which I received from them. I never sported with the feelings of the Admiral but couched the representations I had to make in as respectful terms as I possibly could. It may be asked how I came to be the person fixed upon on these occasions—I was chosen by the Delegates for that purpose, and could not resist their command."
"I declare solemnly that I knew nothing of the mutiny till it had broken out in the fleet. In about two days afterwards I perceived a bad spirit was prevalent among the men, and I then entered into it for the purpose of checking it, as well as I could, the violence of their proceedings; and I am satisfied that if I had not taken an active part in this business, though it has terminated so unfortunately, it would have terminated with consequences still more dreadful, and conscious of the purity of my intentions, I can wait the decisions of this Honourable Court with calmness."
"Vice Admiral Buckner says, that on the 20th May, when he went on board the Sandwich, he was not received with the proper respect due to his rank, but I am sure the Admiral does not attribute that want of respect to me; for he states in his evidence, that I did not go on board the Sandwich till after him—and upon this part of the charge I have no doubt of being able to satisfy the court of my innocence, because he states, that as soon as I came on board I apologized to him and told him that, if he would accept of it, there should be three cheers and the yards manned. The Admiral acknowledges this. There was a stir made towards cheering him; and all this was done at the risk of my life."
"Some evil disposed persons in the fleet had infused an idea into the minds of the men, that the Admiral was not competent to decide upon their grievances; and also, the people on board the Inflexible had sent us word that if we offered to cheer the Admiral, they would come alongside of the Sandwich and sink her. On the same day, Captain Mose sent Mr. Bray, the master of the Sandwich, to know the reason why the Inflexible had beat to quarters. When the persons sent got on board the Inflexible, they found the tompons taken out of the guns, and the matches lighted already for action. There were meetings of the committee on board the Inflexible to overawe the general meeting of the Delegates, and these meetings were held daily on board that ship; and notwithstanding the stigma which has been thrown on the Sandwich, the whole of the measures that were adopted originated on board the Inflexible."
adopted originated on board the Inflexible."
"After a consultation among the ships companies, I was directed to present the paper containing the list of grievances, to admiral Buckner, and everything I did was by their orders. After the paper had been presented to the admiral, he proceeded to Sheerness. I saw that admiral Buckner's flag was struck, but I did not know the reason of it, and it was with the utmost concern that I saw the red flag flying in its place. There were many signals given that day by the Inflexible which I did not understand."
"With respect to what the admiral has said of my taking away two marines, I must state to the Court that it is true, I was that day on shore at the Commissioner's house, and went there by order of the persons calling themselves Delegates. While they were refreshing themselves on shore with the usual allowance of a point of beer each man, information was brought to them that two marines were taken up and were then in confinement, for approving the proceedings of the sailors. They ordered me and some others to go to the guard house and enquire the reason of their being in custody. When we got to the guard house, we were informed by the centinel that he had no such persons in his custody. We then heard that the marines were at the commissioner's house. We were then ordered by the Delegates to go there and bring them on board. We informed the admiral of the commands we had received, and he told us the marines had been taken up for using very improper language in the neighbourhood of Queenborough. I was desired by those who accompanied me to examine them. I did examine one of them, the other was very much intoxicated. While I was examining him, the admiral said "Now, Parker, you are at the right point, your questions are very proper." When the examination was finished, they were sent on board the Sandwich and put into confinement, and the next day they were sent to their respective ships, and I know no more about them."
"I submit to the judgment of the Court, whether it is probable that four men unarmed, could forcibly take these men away in the face of the garrison? But throughout the whole of the business, I treated admiral Buckner with as much respect as the nature of the transaction in which I was employed would admit. I must here state that there was a conversation improperly represented—the admiral laid to me, "Parker, consider my feelings." I replied to him "Sir, it gives me great pain to see the red flag flying in the place of yours. I had nothing to do with it. I have my feelings as well as another man, but I am but an individual."
"Throughout the whole of this business I wish to acknowledge that admiral Buckner and Commodore Hartwell were indefatigable in their endeavours to satisfy the minds of the sailors."
Lieutenant Justice, of the Sandwich was the second witness that was called he knew nothing personal about me. Capt. O'Bryen of the Nassau, knew nothing about me. Capt. Fancourt of the Aggamemnon, knew nothing personal of me. Capt. Cobb, of the Lion knew nothing of me. Capt. Parr of the Standard knew nothing personal of me. Capt. Watson of the Iris, and Capt. Harwood of the Leopard, knew nothing personal concerning me, and therefore I have no observations to make upon their evidence. Seamen in the cabin said they were very loyal."
The next witness called was Mr. Snipe, Surgeon of the Sandwich; he deposes, that on the 14th May, he was ordered to attend on deck, to be present at the punishment of a man of the name of Campbell, and that I ordered him to receive a dozen lashes. I was then upon the gang way, and had been sent there by delegates to see the punishment executed Mr. Bray, the master who had then the command of the ship was consulted about the punishment. The man had been convicted of getting beastly drunk, though he had said he had drank nothing but small beer. I was then desired to caution the ships companies not to get drunk till the business was settled, for if they did they would undergo the same punishment as this man, which was what they had all agreed to inflict."
With respect to his evidence about the sick man in irons, he was confined for disrespect to capt. Mose, and the answer which he states was given by me to him, shews that we did not wish to interfere in the medical department. He says also that he was desired by me to use his influence with admiral Buckner, that the whole sick of the fleet should be permitted to go on shore; this shews that we had a great regard for the sufferings of our fellow creatures. Doctor Snipe farther says, that when he went on shore, he promised to return; but that he took good care not to do it till the ship was again under the command of Capt. Mose. I wish here to ask whether it was praiseworthy and humane in the surgeon to leave the ship, when there were so many people dangerously sick on board, merely because his situation on board was not so comfortable as he could have wished?
Capt. Surridge, of the Iris, says, he saw me with the delegates at the commissioner's house in conversation with the admiral, and that I delivered the articles from the North Sea fleet. I declare, in the most solemn manner, that I had no conversation upon that occasion, but desired the commissioners to examine the delegates of that fleet, in order to find out what would satisfy the minds of the men in that fleet. He says he saw no disrespect in my behaviour to the admiral. Capt. Dickson, of the Espion's evidence, is answered by the observations I made upon the evidence given by the admiral."
Capt. Wood, of the Hound says that I told him not to be violent with the delegates. I went on board the ship to secure his safety, for he had threatened to put the delegates to death. I desired the ships company to be attentive to their officers, and not to make any slight or unfounded complaints, of grievances. He says, he was ordered out of his ship & that the person who communicated the orders to him said it was by my direction. I declare solemnly, that I could safely assert, if I was going into the presence of God to night, that I gave no such order, and that I did not know he was turned out of his ship, till I heard it stated in evidence in court. With respect to what he says of my having threatened to make a beef steak of the pilot at the yard arm for having put us into a foul birth, I deny having used any such expression, or that I ordered the anchor to be let go. With respect to the yard ropes, they were rove before I got on board; but in the confusion which necessarily prevailed, it was very easy for the captain to have mistaken the time of these circumstances happening, and the identical person who ordered them."
Lieut. Flat, of the Sandwich said he did not know me before the disturbances broke out on board that ship; but as I shall have occasion to ask that gentleman some more questions, I shall make no observations upon his evidence."
William Livingstone, the boatswain of the Director, says, I was on board the Director when she fired on the Repulse while she was on shore; that I asked for a boat with a flag of truce to go on board that ship, in the hopes of being able to save innocent blood, and that I valued not my life. He says also, that he heard me give the orders to fire, and that after it had commenced he did not see me. S. Halland, the carpenter of the Director, says, he saw me on board that ship, and heard me ask for the boat, to prevent, if I could innocent blood from being spilt; that he heard the guns fired, but did not hear me give orders for it. The evidence of both these witnesses applies to the same time and the same acts, therefore my answer applies equally to both."
In the first place it is necessary for me to account for my being on board the Director at that time. There was a request for our band of music to sail round the different ships and play three tunes, viz "God save the King," "Rule Britannia," and "Britons strike Home" and also that we should shew the Journals of our proceedings. I was directed by the delegates to comply with these requests. While I was in the boat, I was told that the Repulse was getting under weigh, and was advised to return on board the Sandwich. When I got on board I was told that the Director was getting a spring on her cable, in order to bring her broadside
to bear upon the Repulse. I was then ordered by the delegates to go on board the Director. I went and found the guns upon the quarter deck loaded I then desired permission to address the ship's company and pointed out to them the impropriety and cruelty of one brother firing upon another, and asked for a boat and flag of truce, to endeavour to prevent the consequences of such a measure. Finding myself refused, I determined to find out to what extremity they were inclined to go, and therefore I asked them if they would slip their cables and run alongside of the Repulse? I was extremely happy to find they would not do it, for I proposed it merely to sound their intentions."
I will now state to the Court my reason for asking for a flag of truce. As the wind was favorable, and the tide was rising, I expected every minute to see the repulse get afloat, and make for Sheerness harbour. I wished if possible to get into the wake with the flag of truce, to prevent her from being fired at; for I hoped the other ships would respect the flag of truce, & not fire at the Repulse for fear of hurting her. I failed in my endeavours, and was obliged to give way to the storm, and to sanction measures which I abominated and the orders I gave upon that occasion were extorted from me by compulsion. I remained in the Director till she ceased firing, in hopes of catching a favourable moment of softening matters. It is clear therefore, that Burry must have mistaken some other person who might be at the gun with him, and might have used such language: for I will prove that I was on board the Director till the afternoon, Burry says he saw me on board the Monmouth that day, and that I assisted in pointing and firing the gun at which he was six or seven times, and that I was not content with firing a nine pound shot, but that I put in a crow bar. He speaks of being confined in different parts of the ship by a man called captain Vance, and that I shook my fist when the Repulse was afloat, and said, "Damne me, she is afloat"—and that I would send one of the outside ships after the Loepard, and send her to Hell. On asking him if he had received any bribe or promise for giving this hellish account, he said he had not. I went back to the Sandwich in the Ardent's boat."
J. Summerland does not recollect seeing me at any gun, or actively employed with my clothes off; but he says that I said I would get an outside ship, and send her after the Loepard. In this particular both the witnesses agree. But I will call witnesses to prove to the Court that I was not aboard the Monmouth while she was firing on the Repulse, and under the general confusion that must have prevailed at such a moment, it cannot be supposed that I had either leisure or inclination to go looking for such DON QUIXOTE like adventures; I saw the Monmouth very active in firing on the Repulse; and took the same measures with that ship that I had done with the Director. If I said I would it was with a view of preventing the Monmouth from quitting her station to attack the Repulse, for I immediately went on board the Sandwich—Before the Sandwich was delivered up to her officers, the Montague made a signal for the Delegates to assemble on board her; I did not go on board; their proceedings were extremely violent."
Having now closed the remarks I had to make upon the evidence that has been given against me, I have only a few words to address to the Court—not to remind them that where mercy can be shewn, it o't to be granted, but assured from the candid manner in which the Court has proceeded, that justice will be done. I have only to ask that the evidence given by G Burry: may be examined in the strictest manner, I ask this for the purpose of clearing up my character, which is far dearer to me than a thousand lives; and though it has been misrepresented in the public prints, I hope the innocence of my intentions will appear. My country allows me justice, and justice I am sure I shall have from this honorable Court."
PRISONER'S EVIDENCE.
Lord Northesk deposed, that on his going on board the Sandwich, the prisoner ordered "God save the king" to be played; that he appeared as president of the delegates; that he was the principal speaker; that he was

Directed by him to go with certain propositions to the Admiralty, and to return within 34 hours, or something would be done which would astonish his dear country; that the delegates had taken an oath not to have any communication with Jacobins or Traitors.
Capt. Knight: deposed, that he heard loyal music played on board the Sandwich, and loyal expressions used; that it had been said if the enemy's fleet was at sea, they would go in quest of them; that if the Dutch fleet were in the Texel, Parker would lead the fleet in & attack them, to prove to the nation there were neither rebels nor traitors on board the fleet; that when asked what the red flag usually hoisted, meant, he was told by the prisoner, they wished to establish and fight under it, that the Dutch had stolen it from the English; that he never heard the prisoner give directions.
Mr. Swanson deposed, that he had heard the prisoner express a wish that the mutiny was settled, towards the latter part of it; that he said, when the Repulse left the fleet and got a ground, that if his father were on board that ship he would blow her to hell, for that was where she belonged; That the prisoner said he thought his cause a good cause, and had no doubt of success; that he had expressed sorrow at the violence of the crew of the Inflexible.
Mr. Uohster being a delegate, the prisoner declined considering him as an evidence for fear of involving him.
[After the prisoner's defence and evidence were ended, the court adjourned to four o'clock. On re-assembling, sentence of death was passed on him. He was calm and collected, observing that he hoped his death would be received as sufficient propitiatory, and that further execution would not be found necessary.]

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
The various consequences of Smoking Segars.
AWAKE ye fires, ye blooming youths attend, Nestians, its horrid poisons bend, Direct intended at your vital frame, O'er its fabric and the parts inflame; Where smoke inhal'd into their crimson rill, Arrests the blood while purple streams distill, Slowly unginge from life's pleasant path, The scenes of joy are o'er, the die is cast. Now Phthisis stands with eagles' glairy eyes, Piercing the breast with agonizing sighs, While every breath inspir'd the lungs invoke, And chills of death invite at every stroke— Now clouds of smoke with acrid poisons mix, Sucks with vile hands and to the stomach fix; With iron claws the ven'rous serpent clings Destrays that organ, while the nerves it stings. Now the smoke rushing thro' the crimson cells, Arrests the saliva, the silver streams impels; While aching stomach for this juice implore, And begs to drink, but O, alas! no more; Behold this fluid from its source is cleft, And robs that organ of its just repast; No more the food will quietly there abide, But regurgitate and all the parts corrode, Till awful death with poisons dart around, Cruelty tormenting, lays you under ground.
