ADMIRALTY SESSIONS.

An Admiralty Session was held on Friday, before, Sir Wu. Scorr,
Mr. Justice Le BLA NC, and a Bench of Civilians.
Jnnott was capitally convicted of stealing dollars to the amours
of 70,0001. the property of different merchants.
The prisoner had contracted, with ethers, to purchase a vessel called
the Maria, for 7001. which vessel was afterwards advertised at Lloyd's,
as bound to a port in the Brazils, and consequently the property wad
shipped in the usual way. The prisoner was a sort of supercargo, and
instead of the vessel proceeding to the Brazil*, it anchored at Cuba, and
faere the prisoner assisted in breaking open the chests of dollars, which:
were conveyed away in another vessel to a distant port, and the
vessel itself was sold. The facts were perfectly clear that the prisoner
had combined with others in premeditating this felony.
In defence it was contended, that the prisoner was a mere agent, and
had no knowledge of the felony.
Sir Was. Scorr pas •ed sentence of death on hint, and gave him to
understand that the offence was too great to admit of any anielioratiQu
of the sentence.

James Grths, alias Hine', Pat. Corbett, James Dunn, and John
Brown, were capitally convicted of being found in arms on board a
French privateer called the i.e Cupidoir, on the 93d of March, 1810.
The privateer was taken by the Amazon frigate, and the prisoners
passed as Americans. In defence, the prisoners, by tong written state-
ments, attempted to justify their conduct by their sufferings in a
French prison, and which alone had induced them to go on hoard tt,e
privateer, in hopes of ultimately getting to a British port. Kennedy
and another American proved the, prisoner having suggested a plan of
rising on the crew of the privateer; but on cross•exarnination; he
said Griffiths and Corbett had also served on board the Napoleon
privateer.
The Jury recommended the prisoners to mercy, and in passing sen-
tence, the Judge gave them to understand mercy would probably by :a.
tended to them.
