AND ROBBERY ON THE

HIGH SEAS.

extraordinary ehaige was incestied before
at the Thames Poliei.-oftiee yeserilal, arid ex-
-est in a very crowded (-bort
aged 30, Feler Maybone, 38, Thomas Mar-
gan, 22, James Ratrce, 17, James Latoo,•111, James Willie,
23, John Higgin, 50, Frederick Diggen, 30, James Hough-
ton, 22, James Willis, 22, Charles Johnstone, 39, and Benja-
min Present, forming part of the crew of the ship Ann Hull,
of Liverpool, were charged with piracy and rt,l44ery on the
high seas within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England.
Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, attended for the prisoners.
On the prisoners heir g placed at the bar and ansNering to
their names,

Mr. J. C. Evans, jun., an Inspector of Thames Nays
stated that by directions of htu. Majesty's Government he had
proceeded to Liverpool, to await th:t arrival of the ship Ann
Hall, from Chariest, n. She tn:ered the Mersey on Friday
last, and he and his brother (-Slicers boarded her the same clay,
and found all the prisoners now in custody on hoard. They
were given in charge by the Captain, and he brhught them to
London.

Franc:s Lazenby Horsed, the commander of the ship, was
then called and sworn. Ile stated that he was the master of
the Ann Hall, on a voyage from Liverpool to Charleston, in
ballast. Although some symptoms of insubordination had
previously appeared, nothing particularly had • (Tuned until
the 22d of J:nuary last. On that day a part of the crew, the
larboard watch, were ordered to go over the side to scrub down
the ship, to make her ready for painting-. 'I his they refused to
do, anti they were then told if they would riot scrub cetsele,
' they should do it inside. At this period a seaman, namtd Ink-
man,w
ho vies then on the mizen-topsail yard, seeing witnessin
an altercation with the hands, sung out " D—n the ship," with
other offensive observations, which the witness repeated. On
coming from aloft, he asked the man how he dared make use of
such language aft, to which Inkman replied, that on board a
merchant ship he did not know aft from forward. Littman
then stooped down, arid said he wished a flash of lightning
would take the ship. lie pulled the man up from the deck.
and asked him what he meant by such conduct Inkman
then struck him on the mouth with a stave. Witness imme-
diately knocked down the man in self-defence, arid a scuffle
ensued. Inkman got away, anti seized an iron bela)ing pin,
and was about to strike him ; but the crew interfered, and
took him away. About twenty minutes past one on the same
night, he went on deck, and ordered the mate to get studding
sails set. About five or s:x o'clock in the morning, be looked
from his bed-cabin, and saw that the sails were not s, t. ' lie
called for the s tend mate, and asked him why he had not got
the studding -net becias run out. The second mate ar.swcreit
that he had done all lie could Witness told him lie must get
sonic one to do better, and at the mane time ordered hint to
pack up his things, take them into Iris cabin, and do duty as a
seaman. About eight o'c!ock on the same night, witness
went to the forecastle hatchway, and ordered the second mate
to come upon deck and do his duty. The second mate de-
clired he would not do his duty till he was reinstated. Per-
ceiving the crew in this state of excitement, he ordered them
to shorten sail, rend down royal yards, and strike top-gallant
masts. 'I his order he repeated sereral times. He looked at his
watch,and found that fifty-five minutes had elapsed before the
hands came on deck, and when they d:d come up, he ordered
all tfie sails to be furled, and the top-gallant and top-sail yards
to be sent down. Every soul on board refused to do it.
Mr. BRODERIP—What, all hands refuse to obey ordessi?
Captain Honed—Yes, Sir. After rouse little delay witness
tea- the second mate down into the forecastle, and asked him
the reason he did not obey orders? The mate replied that
the crew complained of various diseases, and were not fit to
do duty. That was all that passed on the Monday morning.
The larboard wa'ch were then standing by the forecastle
scuttle. He went up to them, and asked them why they were
standing there, and not at work? They said the beef ate! pork
were bat!, and they would not work. Witness said if the pro.
visions were bad, or he ill-used them, there were people at
Charleston to look after them. While they were scolding
each other, all hands came on deck, and got in a group on the
starboard side of the deck. Witness, apprehending danger,
then went to the carpenter's tool-chest, which was close to the
cabin-door, anti took out his adze anti went below to the state
room. Whilst stowing away the adze sonic portion of the crew
made fast the cabin-door, and detained him there. He took rep
the adze, cut down the door, and went upon deck.
Mr. BRODERIP —Did you take the adze with you? Wit-
ness—Yes. Sir. The witness, in continua'ian, said that be
proceeded to walk the deck with the adze on his shoulder
fur about twenty minutes. In turning the deck, the carpenter,
Samuel Ogg, seized hoist of the atize, and threw him down.
'rho whole of the crew then came up, and while some assisted
the carpenter in keeping him down, others pinioned his arms
and took him into the state room and laid him on his bed.
Shortly afterwards the first mate came in and told him to be-
ware of himself, for the crew were up to something foul. Wit-
ness observed they could do no more unless they took his life.
With that all hands came into the cabin, and Hugh Diney, a
seaman, not yet arrived in England, said the crew considered
him (the captain) mad, and were determined to give charge of
the craw to the chief mate.
Mr. BRODERIP—Were the words spoken. loud enough for
the crew to hear ? The Captain—'They were, Sir. The
crew then referred to the chief mate for his answer, whs.
said, " I suppose I must." The second mate took posses_
sign of the chronometer, asezi called out to a seaman,
" Jem, Jem, don't shake her 1" Witness got out of bed ass
well as he could, still bound, and told them he would sweee
a robbery against them. He asked for smnething to oar,
awl Williams, one of the men, fed him off a fork. flu re-
remained bowel until six o'clock at night, when he bogged of
the crew to slack the lashings, because his hands were vetting
sore. Thelashings were then removed and he was rut inhand-
cuffs. in the morning the handcuffs were taken oft, and he
Rae
allowed to go upon deck with a seaman on each side of him..
Between five and six o'clock the next evening he was sitting see his cabin table, when the crew all mule aft again, and Mich.,,
Inkman stood forward anti said he had made sckratthing
comfortable for hint than irons, and torilllN ith liroduced a straight-j icket, made of the strongest CP,.lvass in the
ship, No. 2 canvass. The jacket had a being behind, and
a band went round the waist, confining the two sleeves which were sewed up at the bottom, so that he could net
get his hands through them, by which his wrists were dots-
bled back all night, and he euffered great pain. At Lies
earnest entreaty the sleeves were lengthened. The next
day he was at liberty again, but still with the same guard
walking the upper deck. At night they came aft, and
wanted to put on the straight-jacket again. He begged that they would not, for he was so exhausted he could nti
stand it any longer. Ho was allowed t.'.4 go to bed in his
state room, two seamen keeping guard over Min. This
treatment continued during the remainder of the outward
bound voyage, and lie was deprived of all command of this
vessel, or control over the crew, and was closely watched. the
making Cliarle.don the pilots Caine on boaed, to whom he -
pea'ed, arid the case was made knawn to the British Consul
and the American authorities, who interfered and investigated
the matter. A poltien of the Crew were committed to gaol,
previous to their being sent to England in a ship of war, The:
twe ye men at the her were sent home as passengers oa the: return voyage.
Mr. Yelhara subjecte4 the captain to a tons cross-exec:lll;a.
tion, with a raw of showing that the oaptain had creates:led
himself in a vety eeeentric manneriand was incapable of taking
care of the ship. In ansAer to questions, the captain said he
watt not In the habit of getting intoxicated; that 'there were ne
spirits on board, not a tea-spoonful; all that be had on board when he sai'ed was two dozen a wine, two dozer, oh ale, midi. two dozen of purtor. lie denied having sent down the top-
gallant masts in the middle of the Western Ocoan, or the top-
masts either. He also denied giving orders to let go the an-
chor in the Western Ocean.
The prisoners, by the advice of Air. Pelham, said they-
should reserve theft. derienee, and were then formally committed to Newgete.

Pojardin, the gendarme stationed at Cambiei, who
on the 27th December last shot through the heart and killed
the widow Thezin, to whom he had been engaged to be mar-
ried, and afterwards attempted to commit suicide, of which
events we pee an account at the time, was on Friday lase
brought to trial before the Court of Assizes for thesdepartment
of the Nord, The facts of the marriage having begat fully agreed
upon, the contract signed, and the publieaticn of the harms
having been made with the assent of the family of the widow,
who had agreed that Dujiu din should have the guardianship,
of her two children by her former husband, and also of his
having killed his intended in the manner already mentioned.
and then attempted to destroy himself, were frilly proved,
and indeed admitted by Dujardin himself. But in his delence
he stated that as the day of marriage epproaehed, the rela ions
of Madame Thesin interfered to prevent it, and endeavoured
to fill her mind with prejudice against hen. On Christmas
day she was so depressed, he said, by the opposition to her
wishes, that she declared her resolueon 'to destroy herself. He..
as he asserted, resisted this determinetiou till the 27th, whets
after having dined and sent her children back to schools,
she renewed leer melancholy proposals, and at length de-
clared that her resolution was fixed, adding that it he really
loved her ho would die with her. Upon this he went to
his barracks and got two pistols, one belonging t o the service,
and The other a pocket pistol. With these they went up to
her chamber, where after writing the letter or adieu to his.

contradicted. M. Ducange, file notary, who had drawn up
the marriage contract, deposeet that on December 24, Madame
Th e zin desired him to anw tl the contract, for she was deter-
mined not to marry agtitn, as her heart was not engage.i.

till half. past eleven at night, when the Jury returned a verdict
of guilty o: order, but without premeditation, and with ex-
