THE ALLEGED PIRACY BY CONFEDERATES.—
At the Liverpool Police-court, yesterday,three men,
Tnar°ed Quincey, Kelly, and Ferran, alias Clements, were
again brought up on a charge of piracy, and, for the first
time some evidence against the prisoners was forthcoming.
148 principal witness was Capt. Nicholas, who said that in
November last he commanded the American ship Joseph L.
Gerrity, and on the 16th of that month he left Matamoras
for New York, with a cargo of cotton and 6 passengers. On
the night of the 17th ho was suddenly seized by some of his
Passengers,including the prisoner Kelly, and confined to the
foreeastlo,where one of his boys and his mate were shortly after
brought in wounded. One passenger—Major Hogg—and the
prisoner Quincey, both describing themselves as Confede-
rate officers, took the complete command of the ship, and
showed documents which they said were signed by General
Lee and President Davis. They afterwards sent him (Cap-
rim Nicholas) and his crew adrift in a boat, and took the
ship to Belize, where they sold both it and the cargo. Ho
and his crew were adrift for seven days. Inspector Carlisle,
°f the detective force, deposed that he had arrested the pri-
soners in Liverpool, and that Clements had told an eating-
house keeper that he had been confined in Fort Lafayette for
slave dealing. Mr. Raflbs, after hearing the above evi-
dence, said—This case is one of great importance, and I
must not give a hasty decision. I shall remand these men
for seven. days ; and, in the meantime, I shall take such
in my judgment, to aid MO in
steps as are best calculated,
arriving at a right conclusion,
