mad that he shot Sionowion in esecuuon of his duty.

It appeared by the evidence, that the Prisoners

larly upon the day stated iu the libel, very riot-
ous and disorderly, and had frequently, pelted the
sentinels with atones' pieces of wool. bones, gic.

that Inglis, upon the evening of the 27th, was
posted upon the south side of the house. without the
palisade, and the sentinela to the right and left of

beep back from the windows ; that he complained
to the keeper of the prison that he could not get
walking quietly urn his poet, for stoney, bones. and
sticks thrown at him by the pnaonera; that the
gaoler 'rent into the prison to challenge the prisoners.
and put them upon their guard; that when the
act of doing so, Inglis fired in through the win-
done of the stair-case of the third fist, by which
the deceased was mortally wounded. It was de-
clared by the officer commanding the detachment,
and the serjeant. that frequent contplsiuta had
been made to thoin by the tuen. ,of being aouoyed
by the prisoners. and that they took every step in
their power to prevent it, and find out the persons

fire upon such occasions, but to call the serjeant of
the guard ; and that by the general orders read to
the detachment. a senttael was only entitled to fire
when the prisoners were escaping. or attempting to

gether, conversing at the window. and that they
neither spoke nor threw at the srotiuels. Inglis.

acrjeant of the guard, nor received orders to fire,
but that he was severely pelted by the prisoners
from the staircase wind.). of the third fist ; that
he repeete Ily called to them to keep back from
the window; that they litig.ied at him, and said
be hail no ball in his piece; that he cocked, and
presented, but not wi-hisig to fire. recovered his
aria.; and that it was not till after repeated insults
that he at last fired ; and that he considered him-
self entitled to do so, being insulted on his I:04.
