Jim ; it was a small bag, 1 did not examine what
Was in it -; I could tell there was something hard
inside of it, and that it was not full.. He told me
to take this hag and to follow him. I did so, and
went with him to the Company's Garden. Mr.
Beaumont, my master, and myself went together
the distance of the Company's Garden from my mas-
ter's lodgings is about a quarter of a mile,. When
we came to the Company's Garden and had Walked
about a little while, I laid down and" went to
sleep with my head on the bag. It was pot light,
but dusk, when we came to the Company's Garden.
There was nobody but ourselves when we came:--
When I awoke I saw Mr. Morgan and Mr. Bre-
tinier. Mr.' Beaumont and my. master were then
together—they were all standing close together.
MY master bid me get up and go Away ; I went
away and left the bag on the' ground ; my master
told me when he wanted me' he would whistle; for
I was to go to the top of the Garden which is aboin
a quarter of a mile long, and thenl...went out of
their sight. I did not see any body -take up the
-bag„ After I had- been awia,y some time I heard, the
`report' of a pistol or a' gun, and' this was-:in 'about
ten minuses ; I do, not tightly know'how many
reports 'I heard, but I think it was more than one.
I heard a whistle in about a
,qUarter 'of an hour
;after the report of the gun ; on hearing the whistle,
I went back to the samespot where I lad left the
bag,. and found Mr. Rea and Mr. Beanmont,' and
Mr. Morgan and Mr. Bremier, the same "four Gen_
tlemen I had left at that place, and nobody else ;
-it was light then, and it was light When I went
away ; it was about, five o'clock, for I had called
My master at two, and it was about three when we
came to the Company's Garden. On my return,
when I saw these four Gentlemen, Mr; 'Bremier
was leaning on Mr; Morgaii'g shonlder, and Mr.
Rea desired me to g 6 and assist Mr. Morgan ; Mr.
Bremier was still tbarting.on his •shoulder,' and ap'_
geared so be wounded. He was supported by Mr.
Morgan, for he was not able to stand alone. ' Mr:
Beaumont came' to his assistance • like Wise
Bremir was taken-to a house and put to bed ;it
was early in the morning OnStinday;' when I came
to the • place' my master, Mr. Rea, said, -" Good
God I how unfortunate, 'three shots for my one l"
Mr. Baron HOTH AM.----(‘ Do I understand you
to v, your master said, he had three shots to my
one ?"

• Ancwer.--,, Yes, he, said, he had three Altots to
my one." I observed blood fallirg from Mr Bre,
tiller; it appeared to me there was more than one
or two things in the bag. When leame back, af..
ter the Whistle, the bag was lying on the ground,
and there %..";as-something in it then, and it appeared
to contain the same things as at first ; but it was
not left on the same spot. I did not ob.,erve pistols
• or guns when I came back. Mr. Motheywell, the
Surgeon,- was then sent for, to assist Mr. Biernier,
The hag was then carried,away,, on board the ship
Hindostan, and put into my master's cabbin, but
cannot tell what it contained. I had carried several
things in the bag foi niy master before;, bottles and
other things : the things., in the bag were much
about the size of pistols. I took the bag into My. •
master's cabbin, •but I never saw any thing that
was in it then : the bag was taken-on shore on the
Saturday, by a person belonging to the boat, but
I did not know from what part of, the snip tt--wa7--
brought : the bag was taken on shore before us, by
' the Cockswain of the Hindostan. I did-not see the
bag with my master on the over-night.- In the
morning it was lying in a chair in my master's bed-
roopt. I .dici not see the ,Cockswain afterwards On.
shore. In the forenoon of Sunday, Mr. tiemier
died, and he was buried on the Tuesday. I was
not present When Mr. Bremier's clothes were taken
off; but I saw hii shirr, which was stained with'
blood. Mr. Bremier seemed to' be in great pain,
but he said nothing-L-I heard hiin groan.
:Serjeant BEST said, he had no questions to
ask.of this Witness.
- Matthew Motherwell (examined,by Mr. JERVIS),
"I am Surgeon of His, Majesty's Ship Jupiter: I
was, in March last; at the Cape of Good Hope. I
was called to the assistance "of Mr. Bremier, I think
about the 14. th.. A man of the name of Simpsoo,
(the last Witness] came far me. He came, I think,
a li,tle, after five o'clock. - When_ we came to the
assistance of M. Bremier, tfotind him in the Coin-
Pany's Girden," in a little house.there,' by the side
of the wall, Which is by ope' of the, walks, in'the
garden. The family belonging to the house were
with him' before I came,, but I do not recol.
left that' I found any body else with 11;1'1.7,
—He was leaning on the bed, and complained to
me of having received a wound. I asked him to
shew me the wound, but he was unable to do so :
I took' his clothes off myself. and examined the
state of his wound—it was in his right ,groin ; it
appeared to- me to be the wound of a ball of a pis.
tol or a gun, or'musket, but I do not know which.
He appeared to me to be in imminent danger, but.
at that time was able to speak, and seemed to
be apprehensive of his danger.—Fie asked me what
.thought of the wound. I -told him it was a
very had one, but had hopes of his recovery : I
did not tell him .the real danger he was the
morning I went to him' again, and attended him
about three hours, as well as, on the former day
he died about half past eleven ,on the second day.
After his death, I, with the assistance of others,
drsseded his body, so I am able to speak with cer-
tainty,as to the cause of his death.—l found the
ball was in the bladder. I could trace the ball
from the orifice .of the wound, which I am certain
was the cause of his death, and have
.not the least
doubt upon that head,"
