rilE MURDER AND PIRACY ON .13JARD

THE GLOBE.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY EVENING.
This day, pursuant to arrangement, the prisoners Gui.
seppe Lagava, Giovanni Barbalan©, and Matteo Pet-
trieti, the 'ltalians charged with the murder of Joseph
Pattinson and Evan Evans, on board the bar quo Globe,
in the Bosphorus, on the sth of July last, were, brought
up for reeexamination before G. C. Stigant, Esq.
(lVtayor), and a bench of magistrates, at the, Borough
Court, Perry.street. The space devoted to the public
was completely filled with persons anxious to hear the
•
proceedings.
Senor Pappalardo, the Neapolitan consul, was again
present, Lord George Lennox, besides several other'
foreign gentlemen. .
Mr. W. Swainson attended to prosecute, instructed
by the Board of Admiralty.
David Thomas, examined by Mr. Swainson—l am a
seaman, and belonged to the barqne Globe on the sth
of last July. I entered on board that ship on the 2d of
July. At.that time the three prisoners and two other
foreigners" named Angelo and Big Jack formed part of
the crew. At this time the ship was an the Bosphorus,
and on the 4th she sailed from thence for Ba,laklava.
On the night of the 4th July, at 12 o'clock, I turned
into my berth. I should have had to remain there until
4 o'clock the following morning. During the time I was
in my berth I heard a noise as of screaming overhead.
My bunk was in the forecastle, under that of the de-
ceased*Joseph Pattinson. The bunk of the boy George
Nelligan was in the same position on the forecastle, on
the opposite side of the ship. I heard the noise I have
mentioned about 2 o'clock, and I was awoke by it. I
heard awful screaming. I looked out to sze what was the
matter, and I saw Big Jack and another man with him.
One of the men, whose face I could not distinguish, had
a lighted candle in his hand. One of the Men, Eig Jack,
came towards my hunk, and he drew a knife across the
left side of my throat, and afterwards on the right side.
He then stabbed me on the breast bone. Joseph Pat-
tinson and another seaman were sleepins, near me.
Directly. after I was stabbed I saw Joseph Pattinson
fall out of his bunk on to his chest. I knew it was him,
because he had no hair on the top of his head. The
screaming appeared to cezne from the bunk over me.
To the Mayor—l am satisfied that it was Joseph Pat-
tinson, and it was immediately after the screaming that I
was wounded.
Examination resumed—The screaming I heard awoke
me. After stabbing me the men immediately ran up the
ladder from the forecastle on to the deck. I hart not
heard any conversation between the two men. There was
sufficient light at the time for me to see the body of Pat-
tinson on his chestsbut it afterwards rolled on to the deck.
I could not see wounds at that time. In a few minutes
after he fell off the chest he appeared to be dead. Be-
fore Pattinson's body had rolled off the bunk I felt
blood fall from Pattinson's bunk on to me, on my head
and other parts of my body—all over me. After the
men had left I raised myself up, and knocked out
the bottom of Pattinson's bank, which enabled ins to
stand up, and I did so. I called out for help, and Evan
Evans came about half-way down the ladder, and then
went un again immediately. Wen Evans came half-way
do en the ladder I told him to mind himself, as they were
going to kill us all, and he then went back again. Evan
Evans came down again in about half an hour, and I
remained in my bunk during that time. I told him to
take care of himself, and he went up again immediately.
Upree that I went aft; into the hold. There is ado ir
from the forecastle leading to the hold. I hid my-elf
there from fear. There was a regular door from the
forecastle, but Ido not know why it was formed. I
retrained there until the mate and the boy George Nei-
hisan called me up., I remained until .about eleven
o clock in the morning, and I think I went in about
ball-past three, but I cannot say exactly. I h-eard at
that time that .some men had 'left the Chip, and in con-
sequence of the mate and boy calling me I went on deck.
Prom what they told dive I looked over the ship's side,
and saw some men rowing away in a boat. That boat
belonged to the ship. I did not n-,tice the number o
men iu the boat, which was about a mile from the ship.
I was in a very weak state from the loss of blood. I
afterwards went into the forecastle for my clothes, and
then I saw the body of Joseph Pattinson lying down on
the deck, covered with blood. He was quite dead. I
also saw Evan Evans wounded on deck, and Daniel
Cullen wounded in the captain's cabin. They were badly
wounded, and could not move. I observed marks cf
blood on the fore part of the poop and on the quarter.
deck, and also in the sail-cabin, in large quantities. I
saw two shirts in the long-boat covered with blood, but
I did not know who they belonged to. There had been
no quarreling between the Englishmen and foreigners
previously to this, and all had been on good terms.
Some of the foreigners offered Joseph Pattinson and my-
self grog as we were turning in that night. I did not
take any, as it was a sort of stuff I did not like. There
were two or three Sereigners there at the time. Some
days afterwards I was before the British Gomel on board
the Melampus at Constantinople. The three prisoners
were there. At that time Lagava was wearing the red
shirt now produced, which I identify as belonging to
me. On the night of the 4th of July that shirt was
in my bag in the forecastle. After I first came on deck
from the forecastle I wont to look for my clothes, and I
missed the shirt now produced from .my bag, a Guernsey
frock, and a pair of drawers. I have not seen any of
them since, except the shirt produced. The mate dressed
eny wounds first, and after did BO by direction of the
surgeon from Therupia Hospital, These wounds were
over a month healing before I could get about.
By the Mayor—l now feel the effects of my wounds
occasionally, and they prevent me from speaking
At the time of this occurrence the prisoner Lagava had
whiskers, as now, but when I saw him brought a prisoner
on board the Melatnpus, they had been shaved off.
The evidence of this witness having been read over, in
Italian, to the prisoners, they were asked if they had
any questions to put.
The whole of the prisoners said what had been stated
was utterly untrue.

John Scotland deposed—l am master of the barque
Globe, a British ship, from the port of Alicia, in Scot-
land. On the 13th of Juno last I shipped the three pri-
soners and two other foreigners at Constantinople as
part of my crow. I got them all from one man at Con-
stantinople. One of them was named Angelo Pashas',
•and the other Frederica Carjulo. I afterwards shipped
Joseph Pattinson, Daniel Cullen, Evan Evans, George
Nelligan, and David Thomas, as part of my crew, with
myself and the mate. The crew consisted of twelve
persons on the 41 of July. Tee steamboat Wane along-
side at four o'clock, taking ns in tow. She left us about
ten, and then we proceeded up the Black Sea for Bala-
, klava. At ten that night my watch te:ng over, I went to
bed, At that time I think we were about thirty mile
from the Basphozu e I was asleep during the watch,
after I turned in, the weather being very hot. On the fol-
lowing morning, about half paet three, the mat W. Scot-
land, came below to know the hour, and immediately
afterwards I heard the report of pistols on deck. There
was more than one .report. Upon that the mate called
to mei and we both ran on to the poop deck, that part
of the deck being raised. When we got on deck I met
with Daniel Cullen and Evan Evans, who were calling
out that they were shot. At that time the prisoners
Lagava. and Angelo were on des with pistols in their
hand,. They preseuted them at me and the mate, and
snapped them, but' they both missed fire. Lagava
pointed the pistol at me and the mate, as did Angelo.
At that time I was unarmed ; and I called out to the
rest to rut below, and they did 30. I ran first, and they
followed me into my cabin. Previously I had had a
musket in my cabin, and immediately made search for
it, but could not find it, and it has never been found
since. I after wards found an old Instnket barrel (pro-
duced), which I cleaned out and loaded. I lashed it on
to a walking stick, and with that kept watch below with
the mate. Whilst I was, below I caused the mate to
put the ship's ensign in the long boat on deck, in a torn
state. It was not torn before, and must have been got
up from the stern window by means of a boat hook. The
ensign was hung out as a signal of distress. When I
got below from the poop-deck I found Daniel Cullen
and Evan Evans were ceverely wounded. The mate
bound their wounds, whilst I was loading the musket.
I remains d below from half-past 3tolo in the forenoon.
While I was below I saw all the three prisoners on deck.
Lagava was at the wheel, Barbaloce was at the skylight,
and Pettrich at the companion door. At , this time I
saw a pistol in Lagava',i hand, and I saw Barbalone
present a pistol down the fore skylight at, the mate.
We asked them several times what they w. a ed, but
they made us no reply until 9 o'clock. I cannot say
whether Pettrich had .5 pistol or not. During part of
the time the mate was going to • fetch water for the.
wounded men. At 9 o'clock in the morning I again
asked them what they wanted, and Angelo said, "All
we want is money." The others were standing by at the
time, as we could hear their feet on deck. Angelo could
speak very good English, as well as Lagava. The other
two could speak English a. little, and always under-
stood what I said to them. In consequence of what
Angelo said about the money, I gave five sovereigns
to the mate, who put them in a bit of paper and-
lashed it to the end of a ramrod. It was handed up t ►
the companion door, where I then saw the prisoners Pet-
trich and Angelo. Angelo said that would not do
—they wanted more. I could hear the re, t walking
about the el.ck, but I could not see them. When they
asked for more money I said I had given them all I had,
and would allow them to come down into the cabin.
Angelo said they would like to see my berth, and upon
that I went to the sail cabin on the opposite side, where
the.wounded men Were. There was a door with Venetian
blinds. I took my musket and kept watch there. After
that Angelo came down first, followed 1:y Lagava and
Barbaloue. Lagava had a pis,oi in li's haw!. It was
a short pistol with a zing zosud the male °. It was kept
cocked, and I could see it was loaded to the muzzle. I
had no pistols in the ship, and they were brought on
board unknown to me. I had no power to examine their
chests, or I would net have allowed them to be brought
on board. At that time I did not see Barbalone, but I
heard his voice, and I saw Lagava sitting on the sofa in
the cabin, with a pistol in his hand. Ile was holding it
in his hand cocked. Angelo brought my chest oat, and
I saw him take my purse out, containing six sovereigns
and a five-franc piece, which he put into his pocke. Bar,
