with the murder of Lewis Sinclair, the steward of the ship.—
The chief mate, who had been taken into custody, was placed by
his side, and charged with being concerned in tho murder. Mr.
Harmer attended for Bragge. The evidence which was now pro.
duced against the prisoners corroborated that which was given
on Tuesdays They stated that the allowance to each man was
a, gallon of water per day, but the deceased's allowance was
restricted to one quart and one biscuit. They also stated that
the deceased was several times lowered over the side of the ship by
the Captain's orders to scrape the side, and suffered to remain there
from morning till night. On one occasion, when the deceased was
flogged acress the windlass, the prisoner (Bragge) pulled his shin
off his back, and immediately afterwards forced him over the ship's
side to scrape; and after he had been flogged another time, drove
him up to the main royal. Some time before the deceased man

deceased was making game of him, and beat him with a capstan
bar. Other cruelties Imputed to both prisoners upon the deceased
were stated by the witnesses, and the Magistrates committed both
prisoners for trial for the murder.

The disastrous consequences of incrusting boys with
guns was again unfortunately exemplified on Thursday,
last. Some young Gentlemen, in company with the
eldest son of Mr. Keyser, a youth about 12 years of
age, were on Brandon-hill, shooting at a mark against
a wall, and just as one of the lads, who had loaded his
gun, and was unable to draw the ramrod, was in the
act of discharging it, Master Keyser ran in front, and
the ramrod passed tkough his arm and side, which, we
lament to state, infliZted so serious an injury that he
has since died.—Bristol Mercury.
