Morgan Saunders was chief Mate of the Nernnu-.
and went on board her from Lisbon to St. Übes
'['here they took on board a cargo of salt. 'The
vessel WAS to touch at Plymouth. The crew to,
sived of thirteen, and them was a woman oil haar.i,
in company of the Captain, named Burkett. liJote
their departure from St. Übes, witness remarked te
the Captain that there did not seem to be a siifliciency
of provisions. He replied it could not b.! helped, as
they could get no money from the agent. On the
morning of the first day, when on their passaee,
heard that a leak had spiting, ani all hands woe in-
stantly set to work. The leak was cleared in halt an
hour. Nothing of any tur.her cons,luence occurred
until they reached Corunna. The Captain then gtu
witness to draw up a paper, which he and all hands
signed. This was to shew that the vessel leaked, and ,
the necessity of putting into the nearest port. Thinks
the vessel went at least 30 leagues out of her way to
reach Coranna. Never saw signs of leakage outs,de
the ship. Saw holes however made in the run. The.
prisoner Armstrong had said the ship was partly his,
and the whole of the cargo. During the voyage the
weather continued fine, and no damage whatever was
sustained. Witness did not sign the protest, and
merely signed the paper on board the vessel, because
. .

he believed it was true.
Eieanor Burkett became acquainted with the pt
sorter Armstrong, in Cork, about two years since.
Went with him on board the Neptunns from thence
to Passages. The prisoner Engstrom was then a
seaman on board, bin afterwards made mate. Oa
the passage heard the two prisoners talk of letters
from the owner. The prisoner Armstrong said the
ship was his own and part of the cargo, and he would
take her where he liked. Took in a cargo of salt at
ISt. Übes. Heard the prisoners when at Passages
say, It would be a clever thing if they could du it."
Engstrom, the prisoner, replied " I could do it ; I
have done many things." Witness never knew what
the se expressions meant, until one night she saw the
prisoner Engstrom come down into the cabin with a
hammer, chissel, and augur. Ile proceeded to re.
Move the scuttles and to milk-t twes in the but-
ton) of the ship. The w.Acr soon after came in. She
immediately ran en dtek to acquaint the Captain,
who came down and told her not to be uneasy as all
was right, and reminded her of her promise not to
tell what happened on board ship. Tile ptisoner
Armstrong afterwards told her it w:t his intention to
sell the ship and cargo, go to America fur two Tears,
and give witness r€2oo ro return home to her mother.
Witness, however, was compeiled to get money from
the English Consul, and was brought home by Cap-
tain Parish, of the Foxhound packet, to Plymouth.
On her passage told Citeti:in Parish what .he had
witnessed on board. S!se afterwards told it to the
family of Mr. Sateble. at Piymoutin Mr. S.orthle
being then abroad. Told Mr. Samhle, however,
upon his return !:Dane in the month of December.
Crossiet amintd.—Witness trent on shore 1,1 her
:iven aceo; d at Corunna ;.did not tell the Coto,nr there
what she knew of Armstt erg's conduct ; was a wit-
oess on h.oef of the prosecutor Sarni& at Guildhall,
ill an artain ag:iest him by Engstrom :or wages, hot
i'oes not remember saying (when asked by it Jury,'
inan, why she did not alarm the Capron and ono
when Logitrom was boring holes in the Neptunus),,
than " she was not born to be drowned." Admits
that she lived in the cabin with the other passengers
on her way bane with Captain Parish; witness was
in a worknouse at Plymouth, but though she endea-
voured to conceal that, would not for any considera-
tion in the world swear the lives of her fellow crea-
tures away.
The prisoners being called upon for their defence,
declared their innocence of the .:rime imputed to theib.
Mi. Justice HEATH, in summing up the evidence,'
remarked upon the extraordinary circumstance of the
prisoner Engstrom obtaining a verdict in the Court
of King's Bench for it£77 agailist the prosecutor in the
present case; when had the witness Burkett, who
gave her evidence on that occasion, related any thing
like the story she had told on the present trial, no
Jury, be was convinced, would for a moment listen
to the claim of such a man.
The Jury, after a moment's deliberation—Acquit-
:ed both the prisoners. The Sessions were then ad-
ournd till the 22d of January.
