of witness's belief; Mr. Reid had taken off, I believe,
about 70, a week before this began.
Cross-examined by the Prisoner.—Did I, when you
asked me to have mercy on the overseer who was
wounded, and to send to Dr. Goldie to dress his wounds,
answer, " No, let him die?"-Positively yes; I am cer-
tain prisoner was the marl; he said, "No. let him die."
Are you certain that I had a pistol in my hand ?-1-le
bad a pistol, lam certain. (Witness withdrew.)
Mr. Walrond examined by the JUDGE ADVOCATE.—
I
was at Nabaclis on the 18th, at night. About half-a
past nine, when we were retiring to bed, Mr. Gainsfort,
manager of Golden Grove, came riding into the yard,
with a otter from R. Reid, stating a communication to
the Governor of an intended insurrection ; and, although
not generally believed, recommending me to take arms
and ammunition generally kept in the logie, or mana-
ger's room, and have them with me in the house. Mr. Ro-
bert Reid had retired to bed; 1 went up to his room,
and shewed him the letter; I told I was determined
to defend the property, and went out to the gin-house,
where the two overseers lodged—directed them to
the dwelling-house, with what arms and ammuni-
tion were there; four muskets were immediately
put in complete order, which, with my fowling-piece
and pistols, were the only arms we had a; about sixty
rounds of ball cartridge were in the cartouch•boxes.
directed that two should remain, one on each side of the
gallery-doer, two should remain behind the door of tire
hall, and that as one fired on one side, he should retire
to the door within and the other take his place. The
Overseers took the watch, and we were in the hall on
the settees ; Reid and myself watched from one to four ;
I retired up stairs at four o'clock, and lay down, with
my cartouch-box and everything on. Robert Reid in
about ten minutes called out, " Mr. Walrond, they are
at hand ;" at which time there was a most dreadful yell—
more like a war-whoop (the most dreadful I ever heard).
I seized my fowling-piece, and was going to the place
to repel them, and saw Mr. Tucker fire front the inside
of the house, direct from the door; and as I passed
him, a shot was fired from the jealousie, below the
door, and he received a wound through the body, and
said, " 0 CIMIST, I am shot," and immediately fell.
I said, Tucker, I hope not, but he never answered.—
I took my place at the lower side of the hall door, and
levelled at the man who had fired from thence; my piece
missed fire, and did not go off, but I retired to the cor-
ner where the gun with the bayonet was, and my servant
Billy handed it to me, just as Mr. Forbes had fired.
Forbes then turned, and was retiring to the inner room,
but was shot immediately through the back—he cried
out, " 0 GOD, I am shot." and reeled to an arm-chair in
the inner room. I met Mr. Robert Reid retiring from
the upper end of the gallery ; he said, " Mr. Walrond,
it is of no use—us two are opposed to numbers r he
went to the yard-window ; not regarding what he said
to me, I passed by him, and proceeded to tin: back steps,
where I found numbers coming up; I immediately fired
down the steps, and, as the piece I had-was loaded with
small 6411,1 think I wounded two; I was surrounded by
• numbers, seized by the collar on both sides, and dragged
down the steps in a brutish manner. They raised me
after I was down, and I begged for my life, as 1 thought
they were going to kill me. The man on my right
hand I thought to be my own roan Prince, and said,
" Prince, will you murder me in this barbarous manner:'"
Ile said, " I am not Prince, but 1 ans your friend—you
are a good man, love Goo, and have not debarred your
negroes from having their meetingi." In my way, I
was n et by my servant Joseph, who said they should
not Murder me, and was then forced into a room. &on
after, they brought in Mr. Forbes wounded, and forced
me to the upper rooms, where the stocks were, and con-
fined me in the stoc ks ; they did not put the feet of Mr.
Forbes in ; I begged them to have mercy, and take him
out ; they did so.—The gang had mostly left the yard,
and a servant belonging to Mr. Reid, head driver of the
estate, called Jemmy, came an-. 1 took my feet out of the
stocks. Rodney, belonging to Bachelor's Adventure,
the guard over me, made some sign, and they returned;
one of them chopped Jemmy on the little finger.—
Rodney was on guard all the day ; very kind to me, by
allowing my feet to be taken out of the stock., but re-
placed them when any of them was coming into the yard.
About five, or hall pa..t. five, the gang returned, when
I was replaced by Rodney, and the door locked ;it was
ordered to be opened, and 1 to be released, provided 1
signed papers, which I rs•quested to see. I was taken
out, and two papers were presented to me at the door.
A man named Sloane held a pistol in his hand. He is
now in confinement in Paradise. Another man, said to
be Telemachus, presented nre the papers—[The papers
were handed to witness and identifieda—On reading
the second paper, 1 said, how could I sign this, when
Sou have murdered tlx two overseers? The fellow who
handed the papers said—" What's that you say, Sit
and immediately Sloane cocked the pistol. Mrs. \Val-
?on,' whispered—" My dear, sign them," and I did so.
I did not see the prisoner there, and know nothing about
him. I am interested two-thirds of the half; 116 slaves
are the number in which I tun interested.
Mr. Irl. Whitlocke examined by the Junot: Aosro-
CATE.-1 am manager and attorney of Foulis; the
strength of the gang is 119. About twelve o'clock on
the day of Tuesday, 19th, at the time I was in the
stocks at Fortis, I saw this man, who came and said to
the guard, he was sent by the captain to see that they
were doing their duty over me, for he was ordered that
they should look particularly sharp to see that I did not
escape. Foulis is the fifth estate from Nabaclis. lie
said he was going to the Hope, to see that the guard
wits doing their duty there; he was armed With a cut-
lass, apparently a new one.
DEPENCE.-0O Monday night, when the revolt broke'
out, 1 and the other negroes of the estate threw grass in
the evening, when the head-driver, Daniel, called us
together, and ordered the whole gang to meet him at
Philip's house, where all those who were willing were
sworn on the Biblo. I refused to do so, when I was
asked by Daniel if I was any better than the others, and!
whether 1 had any regard for my own life, for that he
would certainly kill me if I did not join. I held the
Bible in my band, but refused to swear, saying, I did
mot know what he was going to do with me. When the
white men were put in the stocks, Daniel again ordered
me, under a threat of my life, to go and see if they were
secure;all Daniel ordered me to stand guard over the
prisoners, but I had no pistol, as stated by Mrs.Walrond
—1 had a cutlass in my hand. Daniel informed me
that Parson Smith had said we were going to get our
freedom, and then ordered us all down to the bridge.
On Sunday, Daniel insisted upon our throwing up mo-
ney for Parson Smith, and, to the best of my know-
ledge, collected four joes
.among our negroes alone,
which Daniel carried to the Parson, along with Philip.
Foulis negroes were ordered to Mr. Spencer's, by al•
niel.—Sentencep Gailtd, Death.
