order to take the shill to tile Lo:niou pu,k, iu
the tuorning.. Another was.„also present,
who called himself Joe, and laic. s understood
him to be Knox, but could nJt i2e certain. Huts-
table still remained on the iml;ier, until one,.of the
men told him to telt 11:s master in the Morning
that they should be
.there tin enough to. take
.the vessel into. dock, which expression made the
witness peifectly easy;. and he indulged 'hithself
in sleep along with hiS companion. Bette .n
three and four, flatstable awoke, and atteuiptc,,l to
get upon deck, but he discovered that the hatches
had been fastened -down. Ile then tried the sky-
light, and found that fitst also ; lie then awoke
his
,companion, ;and they both broke through the
sky-light, and discovered that the ship had been
robbed.

James Bampton, was then called and examined,
when he gave a circumstantial account of the.
manner hi which the robbery was committed, with
his privacy, when he contrived to be on shore but as he will be re-examined, and the tri4.l will
not conclude (in,all probability) before Monday,
we decline at present giving his partial testimony.
At.half-past ten o'clock at night, after the Jury
had been indulged to withdraw for a short time,
Mr. Baron Thompson, the presiding Judge ad-
dressed them,, and remarked the number of hours
(ten) which that trial had already occupied their
attention, and if they proceeded then farther, they
must become very inuch.fatigued ; therefore it had
been judged proper by the Court to adjourn for a
short and reasonable time; and he well knew
own inability, were they _to continue the trial
throughout, to -do. justice to that. important duty
which devolved upon him. They must. all then
keep together in a place to which they should. be
conducted, and where, as he was informed,
every arrangement had been made for their con,
Venience. •

One of the Jurrbere expressed a wish, on be-
half of several. Of his brethren as well as himself,
to he permitted to return to their families.
I:tronTnomrso.N-----" I am afraid that wish Can
not he complied Frith, as it haS. never been
in-
dulged when similar cases occn:red•"
Mr. justice UNAMeRE The law is nof discre-
tionary but positive, in cases of that sort, there-
fore., we must fulfil it." •

JURYMAN--" I thh k that, at the trial of
Hardy, the Jury.were allowed to separate and
n-assemble."

Mr. Baron THOMPSON—" That was not the
cage at that trial, for 1 remember it well. it seems
to me morally ithpossible that we 'can finish the
present trial without adjourning, as we are in-
formed by the Counsel for the prosecution, that
they have forty mere Witnesses' to examine, and
the priso-ners must also have a number to examine
in their behalf."

JI:TRYNANI—" I wish to ask your Lordships,
whether, in the event of the trial not finishing
to-mo:•row, we shall be detained till Monday from'

our families."

',Baron THOMPSON.---`‘ I hOpe-this trial will not
cont in tn.,. so long. Oar wish is to' let you all home,
b►:t the law don't allow it. To make your bur-
then• as easy as possible, Officers of the Court
will give intimation 'to all your families of your
presenrsituation."

Adjourned till to-morrow morning, at nine
o'clock=(this day.)
