Yesteraiy Charles Frederic.; Patin end Saw:errethug.
wire indicted for having made an assatilt upon
James Keith, on the high seas, within the jurisdiction
of the Advniealty of England, he, the said James
Keith, being the Master of a trading vessel called the
Adventure, and with a certain ierstrument, called a
Cooper's hammer, killing andielotsiousla: Murdering I
the said Jatnes Keith. There were three ether in-;
alictmentseakainet the prisetters, charging them with
the murder of William SMith, the First Mate of the '
said vessel, and two black men belonging thereto,;
the one called Joe, and the otheti John.
The COMMON SEIL/lAIrT, for the prosecution, stated
the case- to the Court and to the Jury. From his
narrative it appeared, that the deceased James Keith'
was master and sole owner of the vessel in question,
and that having. embarked the whole of his property
therein, to the eattent of nearly £2OOO, he (mitred to
make a voyage to the South Seas upon 'a fishing con-
cern, and tar that piirpose -engaged a crew, which,
with hifnielrand three boys, amounted altogether to
14 persons, among whom were the two prisoners.—
lie sailed from Portsmouth in the month of Novem-
ber in the last year, and for a part of the time had a
proiperous voyage ; bit one of the crew becoming
sickly, and mentally dying, he put into the island of
St. Thottaae, and took in the two black men, Joe and
Jelin, already mentioned. He then sbaped his coarse
towards Conger, upon the coast of Africa, intending
to make his voyage to the South Seas; but whilst 1.50.
leagues off that place, the crew began to shew strong'
symptoms of discontent and mutiny ; and it turned
out that in the month of April last, the dreadful cir.
eumstances took place, which became the subject of
these indictments. About the hour of four in the
morning the boy at the steerage gave the alarm to the
Captain, who was asleep in his cabin, that there was
;some wrong going forward—he hearing a bustle, and
observing that the whole of the crew, except himself,'
'the other two boys, the two blacks, and the Captain
;and Mate, were all upon the forepart of the deck.
!Upon this the Captain jumped up, and, without his
.clothes, ran upon deck, but seeing the state of the
dew, he instantly returned down, and called the
Mate, William Smith, to his assistance, who instantly
came. What followed was horrible in the extremes.
The Captain was murdered by the prisoner Palm ;
the First Mate, William Smith, was murdered by a
man named William Wright, and a Swede named',
• Peter, and bath their bodies were thrown overboard.
As soon as this bloody catastrophe took place, Palm
headed the. mutineers, took possession of the ship,
and assumed the command, and there being three
other Swedes as well as himself on board, he received
from the crew•the most implicit obedience and ac.
cordingly they all in a body, except the boy at the
helm and the two blacks, proceeded to the cabin,
where they found a Bible belonging to the cabin-boy ~
Henry Mattis, upon which they jointly and seve-
rally took the folldwing oath—a May 1 never see
the lighf of HEAVEN, if 1 divulge any of these secrets !"11
when they each of ,them kissed the book ;—and
the boy at the steerage being relieved, did the like.
—As soon as this was over, it was next agreed to
murder the poor Blacks, and Peter, the Swede, with
Wm. Wright, were selected for that purpose. They
accordingly provided themselves with a loaded pistol
each, and taking each a glass of rum in their loft
hands, they went up to the Blacks, and having pre-
sented to each of them the glass of rum, shot them
both whilst in the act of drinking the rum, and Tel-
ling threw their bodies overboard ; they then divided
the property of the Captain between them, and Palm's
shirt being covered with the Captain's blood, he very
deliberately took it off, broke open the Captain's
trunk, and put on a new one belonging to the Cap-
tain, throwing his own overboard. After this the
whole of the crew remained in the ship, and they
steered with the view of making the first land ; but
being ignorant, and unable to navigate her, Palm
adopted the resolution of scuttling her, which accord-
, ingly took place ; and having plundered the vessel
of all that was valuable, they stowed the property in
two boats, and at a distance of 50 leagues from shore
they took to the boats, eleven in number, viz. the
three boys, of whom Henry Madis was one, together
with Palm, Telling, Peter, Lawrence, and Lawson,'
the three ,Swedes, Wm. Wright, and two others.!
They reached the land, but one of the boats was;
swamped, and they lost all the property therein, and
Geo. Row, one of the boys, was drowned upon that'
pccasion. They next got ashore, and travelled up the
;country, the weather and the climate extremely hot,
but they at length observed smoke as issuing Flom
village fires, and they approached towards it. The
moment, however, that they entered it, the black na-
jives rushed upon them with remorseless fury, seized
them as slaves, desheiled them of all their ill-gotten
'Wealth, and' first stripping them stark naked, led
-them off .through the country to be sold as white
slaves. In this deplorable state they remained seve-
ral weeks-traversing a vast track of country, during
which all of them died through disease, cruelty of t 1
the Black natives, or fatigtte, except the witness
'Henry Madis, and the two prisoners, Palm and
with Wm. Wright, who has not yet been appre-
.hensied, and the survive rs were marched to Cape
Lopez, a southern promontory of Africa, where the
Black chief released them, supposing that they were
shipwrecked Mariners ; and after a short time a Por-
tuguese vessel touching there, Palm and Wright took
!their voyage to Europe in her, and is a few days
?after a Liverpool ship also touching there, the first
Illate.4 which is named Capper, Taring and Madis
got a passage in her, and they were landed at Liver-
•peol in September last.
These facts were clearly proved in evidence ; And
the Jury, after an excellent charge from Mr. Baran
Teoreesola, brought in a verdict of Wilful Plurder
against both the prisoners.
As soon as the verdict, was pronounced, they im-
mediately began to recriminate each other, and Palm,
when called upon for his defence, said, that the wji-
tress partook of all the crime, as well as others, and
that Telling threw the Captain overboard. This
e,lling denied, alleging that the murders were corn-
pitted only by the Swedes, and addinig, that be took
the part which he did merely to save his own life.
Silence being proclaithed, Sir WILLIAM SCOT?,
after 'nimbi remarks upon the enormity of their
offences, sentenced them to be hanged At Execution
