THE PIRACY AND MURDER Ctradoli,esC),
The majority of the Judges of the Courts of wil-i,lorala
Common Pleas, and Exchequer, assembled this
Sergeants' Inn, for the purpose of hearing the 0:40e:ot
civilians against the conviction in the case el` rt the
murder which was tried before Mr. Baron Platt' $
Exeter assizes. „Aso, or
Sir Joseph Dodson, Dr. Melvin, and Mr. „u7ciirig,

Dr. ADAMS opened the argument, and come of oo
first instance, that the prisoners had been guilty .6000
piracy. Piracy was particularly defined in the f,e'oeivoir
ties between this country and the Brazilian GO' those
well as in several Acts of Parliament confirmingoogte
ties ; but he was sure these prisoners had done neteffefiesof
could justify their being charged with the Acts fit
piracy, within the meaning of those tphriej,
treaties, and therefore he was prepared to urge t.'he

had been guilty of the offence of piracy, the s,°„l"red reif,
Felicidade, he maintained, had not been carnoeelitr

capture of this sort. Well, then, he said these P,
justified, by the law of nations, in taking the sterijiLke,
to regain their ship, and obtain their liberty piecoee
that they had concocted a plot to murder all t,ll°„ to !II:pi:,
