THF. TRIAL Agn EXECUTION OF TIM VON. ARTHUR
AAILLIANI HODGE, ESQ. run THE BRAIDLI4 OF HIS
X.,*13Q110 SLAVE PROSPER.
•ated behind the in

':ri the 8,11 inst. was exec.„ jail
this town, the Hon. A. W. Hodge, Esq. a proprietor
and one of ' the Members of his'Majesty's Council in
this island, for the murder of one of his own negroes
of the name of Prosper.
The prisoner on his ti ial teeing put to the bar, plea-
ded Not Guilty. The first witness called to prove the
charge was a free woman of colour of the name of
Pareen Georges. She stated that she was in the let-
Et of attending at Mr. Hodge's estate to wash linen ;
that one day Prosper came to her to borrow eix shil-
lings, being the sum that his master required of him,
because a mango had fallen from a tree, which (he)
Prosper was set to watch. He told the witness that
be must either find 6s. or be flogged ; that the wit-
ness had only 35. which she gave him, but that it did
not appease Mr. Hodge ; that Prosper was flogged
for upwards of aft hour, receiving more than one'hun- ,
tired lashes, and threatened by his master,' that if he
did not bring the remaining 3s. on the next day, the
flogging should be repeated ; that the next day he
was tied to a tree, and flogged for such a length of
time, with the thong ,of the whip doubled, that his
head fell back, and that he could bawl no more.—
From thence he was carried to the sick house, and
chained to two other negroes ; that he remained in
this confinement during five days, at the end of which
time his companions broke away and thereby released
him; that be was unable to abscond ; that he went
to the negro houses and shut himself up; that be was
found there dead, and in a state of putrefaction, some
dap: afterwards ; that crawlers were in his wounds,
and not a piece of black flesh was to, be seen on the
Mode:. part of his body where he had been flogged.
Stephen M.Keogh, a white man, who had lived as
Manager on Mr. Hodges estate, deposed, that he
saw the deceased Prosper af:er he had been so se-
verely flogged ; that he could put his finger in his
side ; be saw him some days before his death in a
1 cruel state ; be could pot go near him for the blue
flies. Mr. Hodge had told the witness, whilst he
was in his employ, that if the work of the estate was
not dcne, he was satisfied if he heard the whip-
This was the evidence against the prisoner. His
Counsel, in their attempt to irnpezch the veracity of
Ike witnesses, called evidence .as to his general cha-
racter, which disclosed instances of still greater bar-
barity on the part of Mr. Hodge.
' Among other examples, the witness Pareen Georges
• swore that he had occasioned the death of his cook,
named Margaret, by pouring boiling water down her
throat.
Before 'the Jury retired, the prisoner addressed them
as follows :—‘, Gentlemen, As bad as I have been
represented, or as bad as you may think rue, I assure
you, that I feel support in my affliction from enter-i
mining a propeteeense of religion. As all men are
subject to wrong, I cannot but say that that principle
is likewise inherent in me. I acknowledge myself
guilty in regard to many of my slaves ; but I call
Gon to witness my Innocence in respect of the mur-
-1
der of Prosper. I am sensible that the country thirsts
for my blood, and I am ready to sacrifice it."
The Jury, after deliberation, brought in a verdict
of Guilty. There were six other indictments on si-
miht charges against the prisoner.
After as well as previous to his condemnation, and
to the last moment of his lite, Mr. Hodge persisted
in his innocence of the crime for which he was about
to suffer. He acknowledged that he had been a
cruel master (which, as he a kerwards said, was all
he meant in his admission to the Jury of his guilt in
regard to others of his slaves); that he had repeated-
ly togged his negroes ; that they had then run away,
when,hy their own neglect, and the consequent ex-
posure of their wounds, the death' of some of them
had possibly ensued. He deined all intention of
causing the death of any one, and pleaded the un-
ruly and insubordinate dispoeaion of his whole gang
as the motive for his severity. These were the sen-
timents in which he died.
From the time of his condemnation to that of his
execution, this unhappy man was attended at suitable
hours in each day by a Clergyman, whose pious la-
boors brought him, we believe, to sincere contrition,
and, when not buoyed 'up by the vain hope of a re-
spite, which he indulged to the last, to a Christian
resignation to his fate. On the evening preceding
his execution, he took leave of his three young chil-
dren, which so overpowered him, as to make it a
matter of doubt it he would ever be restored to tran-
quillity. In the morning, however, he was calm,
and acquired still greater tot titude by receiving the
sacrament.- He walked with firmness to the place i,t
execution, addressed several persons by name in the
vuriounding crowd, forgave his enemies, and was
hunched into eternity. 'Thousands of persons wit-
nessed the awful spectacle, some of whom rather in-
decently expressed exultation.
Mr. Hodge entered the world with good prospects
and eclvantaget:. lie was a Gentleman Commoner
of. Oriel Colieqe, Oxford. He came out some years
ago to visit his property in Tortola, which is not
