OLD BAILEY.

SATURDAY Pas. to.

in tL•
pr: s.

Cadav, alias Philibert, Joseph Amend
rrovsgv, and Leith' Amend Cleransac, were indicted
fix havioL; brought from Mocambique, in Africa, to the
island of Mauritius, certain person,, to be sold as slaves.
The Attie Hey-General stated the case, and the law
as applicalde to the juryt
C. M. Campbell, a lieutenant in the Bourbon regi-
ment at the Mauritius, was Aid de-camp to General
Hall, the Governor. On the Sd of March last, by
order of the Governor, he went to Madame le Brun's
islantati sn with a detachment from the "2nd. Poly-
iinre was their guide. He pointed out to them a
wooden building, and two small leas. They got
there near I I at night. Polydore told him the huts
contained new blecks, and whites that brought theta
were in the wooden building. Witness divided his
Ltachnient, and with one party surrounded the huts,
and with another the wooden building,. He timnd
the huts filled with blacks. male and female. to the
number of 92. Grea:est p srt were naked. One was
dead, another dying, and nine so weak they could nut
be moved. Alatost all were covered with the itch,
and appeared quite astonished whoa the edition; sur-
rounded the huts, and came up to them, and examined
their clothes and arms. They appeared quite uncivilzel,
were all Mozambique blacks, and he was positive they
were newly imported negrocs. He secured the huts
fur the night, and went to the wooden building. He
knocked and requeseel it to be opened,when a woman's
voice said she was with her two daughters, and that
she would not open the door at that time of night
He molested her no farther, taut desired the soldiers to
let no one escape from the house. He then went
about the plantation, and found another hut, in which
were eight or nine blacks, who told him in French that
they belonged to Madame le Brim. He returned to
Sis detachment, and found them were he had left them,
and remained with them till the next morning. the
Commissary came next morning ; and when the noise
of his paletiquin bearers was heard, the people in the
.house opened the door, and they went in and saw the
prisoners Cuvillier, Quanta, Madame he Brun, her two
daughters, and Victorine. Witness took the prisoners,
but at the desire of the Commissary, he allowed Cu-
villier to remain. with Madame le Brun. It is 20 or
22 miles -from Souliac to Madame le Brun's. There
are large forests, between.
Crors examined.—The island has been governed by
the French laws since the capitulation.
Polydore confirmed this testimony.
The prisoners, Phillebert and Tregrosse, put in long
written defences, in which they denied the charge, and
asserted that they had been to Madalascar for a cargo
of bullocks, which they were obliged to throw over,
board in a stonn, and. that accounted for there being no
cargo found on board the schooner. They wandered
about the island, and met Clearansac accidentally, who
took them to the House of Madame lc Brun. The
defence went on o state, that their treatment during
their voyage to England had been teal. Clearansac's
defence was, that he was not on board the schooner nt
all ; that he had been in the French navy, and was of
a respectable Family in Bouruon, but was out of ens
ployment; he only acted as a guide to the other two
to bring t lent through the woods
Baron Graham sumined up the -evidence, and the
Jury, after a quarter of as hour's consultation, found
all the prisoners Guilty.
The Common Sergeant (th,. Judges having retired)
sentenced them all to three years imprisonment is the
House of Correction,. and during that time to be kept
to hard labour.

The following is the Address of the Grand Jury of
London, previous to their discharge :
" We, the Grand Jury of the City of London, having
reporter! on the several hills presented to us, and being
',auntie:l by your prince officer that nation's ore fourth

" We have been much gratified that the oflinices
which have come hcti•re•us have been marked by RO
cir-
cumstances of pzxuliaratronity, although we cannot but
lament that the notoival punishment attaching to many
of them, ucr•ordi•s„ to our protein erirnioal aide, and the
highest which can be indicted on the greatest delin-
quents I
" In the course of our duty we have witnessed the
