OLD BAILEY.

SATURDAY Frit. to.

Phißippe Caday, aliu Philibert, Joseph Amend
Tregosse, and Leuis Arnaud Cleransac, were indicted
for having brought from Mozambique, in Africa, to the
island of Mauritius, certain persons, to be sold as slaves.
The Attorney-General stated the case, and the law
as applicable to the jury.
C. M. Campbell, a lieutenant in the Bourbon regi-
ment at the Mauritius, was Aid-dc-camp to General
Hall, the Governor. On the 3d of March lust, by
order of the Governor, lie went to Madame le Brun's
plantation with a detachment from the 22nd. Poly-
dore was their guide. He pointed out to them a
wooden building, and two small huts. They got
there near 11 at night. Polydorc told him the huts
contained new blacks, and whites that brought them
were in the wooden building. Witness divided his
detachment, and with one party surrounded the huts,
and with another the wooden building. Ile finned
the huts filled with blacks, male and female, to the
number of 92. Greatest pin were naked. One was
dead, another dying, and nine so weak they could not
be moved. Almost all were covered with the itch,
and appeared quite astonished when the soldiers sur-
rounded the huts, and came up to them, and examined
their clothes and arms. They appeared quite uncivilzed,
were all Mozambique blacks, and he was positive they
were newly imported negroes. He secured the huts
for the night, and went to the wooden building. He
knocked and requested 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, but 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 Brun. He returned to
his 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 palam-Vin bearers was heard, the people in the
house opened the &or, and they went in and saw the
prisoners Cuvillier, Quanto, Madame le Brim, her two
daughters, and Victorine. Witness took the prisoners,
but at the desire of the CummissaiT, be. allowed Cu-
villier to remain with Madame le Brun. it is 20 or
ti miles front Souliac to Madame le Brun's. There
are large forests, between.
Cross examined.—The island has been governed by
the French laws since the capitulation.
Wolydare confirmed thistestimony.
The prisoners, Phillcbert and Tregrosse, put in long
written defences, in which they denied the charge, and
asserted that they had been to Madagascar for a cargo
of bullocks, which they were obliged to throw over-
board in a storm, 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 le Brun. The
defence went on to state, that their treatment during
their voyage to England had been bad. Clearansac's
defence was, that he was not on board the schooner at
all ; that he had been in the French navy, and was of
a respectable Family in Bouruon, but was out of em
ployment; he only acted as a guide to the other two
to bring them through the woods.
Baron Graham summed up tin evidence, and the
Jury, after a quarter of an hour's consultation, found
all the prisoners Guilty.
The Common Sergeant (the Judges having retired)
sentenced them all to three years' imprisonment in 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
reported on the several hills presented to .us, and being
inflamed by your proper officer that no more are fourth
coming, now wait upon the•G inn for our discharge:
" We have been much gratified that the offence!
which have come bet' re us have been markethby no cit.-
cumibtances of peculiar atrocity, although we cannot but
lament that the nominal punishment attaching to many
of them, according to onr present criminal code, and the
highest which can be • inflicted oh the greatest delin-
quents ! • •

•
In. the course of ourtruty we have witnessed* the
prison of Newgate throughout, and are happy iri the
opportunity thus att; ailed us, of bearing ample testimony
to the priseworthy conduct of Mr. Brown, its keeper,
evidenced in the general cleanliness of the place, au{
in the genead health and ortieily behaviour of the
pr. mers.

- "The circumstance so often dephmal by former Grand
Juries, we are sorry to find still to exist, in the absence
of all classification of age or crime (with smite few ex-
ceptions) ; and we are well convinced th At, if it were
posibi.e to devise employment for the male prisoners,-
similar goad effects to those so visible on the female
side of the gaol. would be the result.
" We do not wish to trespass further on the time of
the. Court; yet we cannot botregret that it should he
