him by the rack, and he was delivered over
*Mice. During the courfe of the legal lona*.
does,- where it was poffible, he retradted the co&
feffion fo extorted, and Wrested his innocence ; bat
cruelty and prejudice did not Mien to his voice,
but condemned him to public puniflunent. Dar-
ing the execution of the fentence, when he could,
no longer Pave hiasfelf by a falfe declaration, he
appealed to Goo to witnefs his innocence, in the
prefence of all the-people, and died in taming
it.—So crying an as of cruelty, fo *maw
an abufe of confided power, and the violation of
the laws 'in fo.effential and important an objet,
induced me to with to be fatisfied of the truth of
this occurrence, by a circumftantial examination
on the fpot, and for that purpofe I difpatched
ox-
peefs to Caren my Adjutant, Colonel ALOIDYNI4
with inanition: minutely to examine all the eir-
aunftances of the cafe with his known impartiality.
His report, grounded on ocular dentoultration,hae•
to my extreme grief, not only confirmed the ac-
counts I had received, but allures me, that foe
inhuman and illegal =afore' have been frequent,
ly adopted by that Government, lilay this ros
Oen, and all the proofs on which it is founded, in
the original, before the dire&ing Senate, and is
to them immediately to enter upon tht
examinition of them, and to try with the tuna*
feveiity of the laws all thofe who, upon this oces-
ton, shall be found guilty of an abufe of power,
either in giving fuck orders, or in the execution
of them, or of mattifeft partiality ; to have an
refpea to the perfon of any man, and to proceed
to the fufpenfion of the partitifrom their offioies
to propofe candidates for the places which depend
upon our confirmation, and to fill the remainder
according to the eftabliffied order, with deferving
perfons of rank. The direling Senate, fen-
fible of the importance of this abut, and to
what degree it violates the firft principles of the
adminiftration of juftice, and is fubverfive of all
civil rights, will not neglea to inculcate generally,
in the ftriaeft manner, that no one, in any refpea,
either among the fuperior or inferior officers of
juftice, thall order, permit, or put in execution,
puniffiments under threats, or the terrors of an in-
fupportable and cruel infliaion ; that the Mini-
fiers of lattice, to whom the revilion of criminal
proceedings lawfully, belongs, fhall take the per.
Tonal examinations of the accufed according to
legal principles; that there be no partial infliaion
during the examination and Wily; that all pu-
uilltmentshy torture fhall be for ever rooted out
of the minds of the people, as a difgrace and a
reproach to mankind."

As the fauation of the greater number of the

required to keep up the communication between
the batteries and the land, his Mejeftrhas con-
