lie as the outrage had been was both due and
neoeseary, and accordingly that gentleman required
the policeman to make an apology and publish it
in the newspapers. This, however, was not done,
and accordingly the case came before Mr. ELtiorr
on Tuesday last. At the hearing the policeman
declared himself ready to make an apology, but
at this stage of the proceedings Inspector Duster
intervened, stating that he was present by order of
the superintendent of the division, and that it was
his duty to declare that a consent on the part of a
constable to make an apology to be pub-
lished was contrary to the regulations of
the force, and that he therefore mast
object. Such • course having been taken, Mr.
Ectiorr observed that he considered the offence
proved, and that the conduct of the defendantat was
most improper, and asked thudmain wh
he desired. Mr. MEADE p himself in the
hands of Mr. HaNsesx, the principal of his de-
pertinent of the Bank, who was present, and who
observed that he did not think anything short of a
published apology or a conviction would satisfy the
authorities of the Bank. The magistrate there-
upon declared that the complaint was fully estab-
lished, and convicted the constable in a penalty of
forty shillings. This conviction, teaching a lesson
of carefulness to the police, sufficiently secures the
interests of individuals. The police, however, con-
stitutes public force, and we all have an interest in the
steps taken to maintain its character. We may yen-
turetherefore to express &doubt whether the wisest
course was taken by the authorities at Scotland-
yard in the circumstances just described. Of course
public departments must exercise a control over the
actsof theiragents, soastoprevent themmaking apo-
logies that would be prejudicial to the public service.
But there appears to have been no reason in this
instance for refusing the required concession.
The constable had clearly done wrong, and it was
just as clear that he could not escape the conse-
quences of his public act by any private expression
of regret. If there had been the least likelihood
of persuading the magistrate that a policeman, like
the Loan-LIEUTENANT of Ireland, "can do no
" wrong, "or that every time he takes a person
into custody he performs " an act of state," there
would have been something to be gained by stand-
ing out. But the choice lay between an apology
and a conviction, and we are at a loan to see bow the
dignity of the force has been better upheld by
allowing 259 P to be fined forty shillings, and
having the fact published in all the newspapers,
than it would have been by letting him make •
public admission that he bad committed a mistake
for which he was sincerely sorry.

Monet Bay, Tuesday, Oct. 17.
Ohm the time of my last, the town continues to be quilt.
I think I mentioned in my first communication the execu-
tion of four rebels—one woman and three men—all of
them reported to be notorious insurgent. I have witnessed
many a culprit going up to the scaffold, but never have I
seen such hardened, callous wretches. The first man who
mounted the cart (the trip-board) was Lewis Stewart

of the ringleaders. Be deaied to the last, with a
share of bravado, his having had anything to do with the
insurrection. The noose was immediately placed arous
Intothe mart withdrawn, and in an instant he wet ushered
into eternity, with •• very lie on his lips, for the evidence
against him was deer and uomisteksable. The next
brought to the scaffold was James Williams, who also
denied having had any participation in the reho bellioalson.
Then came Charles Reid, a notorious rebel, w

tensed to haying • knowledge of two men respectively
called Paul Bogle and Moses Bogle, brothers, havieg had
meetings continually at which many people used to be
present—that at these meeting a oaths were administered,
1 D and that she knew nothing more. She met death
as lly as possible, not apparently caring whether she
li or not.
A man called Edward Flemming (head stillermsn on
Leith Hall Estate, the property of P. A. Espeut, EAR.) was,
on the morning of the same day, hanged on a tree at Port
Martini, a Military Court Martial having tried him there.
This man was identified by Mr. G. A. Hague, of her
Majesty's Oedema, as one of the chief insurgent. Another
of the rebels, William Haynes, was, by sentence of Court
Martial, flogged the next morning—he received fifty lashed,
well laid on by four stalwart blue jackets. He, it appears,
was less guilty than the others.
lOn the same day askirmiabieg peaty of bluejackets, under
the oommand of Provost-Marshal Remaly, went out, end
meeting three of the rebals—one at Psaington and two at
Yallabs—they were immediately shot down in their attempt
to escape. One fellow jumped in the river, but that did sot
save him. At about midday yesterday, a skirmishing petty
of men of the Lt midfield West India Regiments returned
with ton rebel' contused is the woods. Among them is the
notorious Mary Ward, a short, ambo girl, about 25 years
old, who it is alleged dealt the fatal blow to Mr. Chas. A.
Price, amidst his cries tor mercy and his request to be
given five minutes for prayer. In all there are about forty
of the insurgents taken, whose trial will take place on the
return of hie excellency the governor end the offioers of the
court martial.
From the towns of Bath and Port Morant reliable intel.
ligence has been reesiv ed. These places have been sacked
sad pillaged—every store broken into, and the rebels pos-
sessed themselves of every available thing. That which
they could not carry with them they have dmtroyed. At
Golden Grove the same pillage of houses and stores is re-
ported—the white and coloured inhabitants flying for their
liven. At this place the store of Mr. Robert Kirkland was kept
intact, the semebeieg protected by the Maroons, of whom be
Is a descendent. They wanted to set the torch to the
town of Bath, but fortunately the Maroons came down in
mass, prevented DO feerfel a catastrophe, and captured ten
of them, who were brought in yesterday. Among them
was a man called M'Gregor, who attempted to commit an
indecent act on a lady. This fellow was immediately
flogged by order of the Provort-MarshaL At one corner
an-
of
the town he received twelve lashes, an atd
other corner thirteen on his bare back. This
is the sewed instacoe yet known during this re-
bellion where such an attempt has been made.
The lady was wiraculously resound by moms
female servants, who broke open the bedroom
in which M'Gregor and herself were found. He made his
escape, but was shortly after taken and brought here with
nine other scoundrels. The next case akin to this is that of
a young lady who was taken into the bushes by a band of
ruffinns, and nothing has yet been beard of her. I had
almost forgotten te mention that the womax, Mary Ward.
who murdered Mr. Price, was taken with cutlass in hand,
