UNION HALL.

William Pill, the young man who was charged before the LORD
Mavoz with having robbed Mrs. Hankins, of Stamford-street, of
£3OO, at Hampton Races, was yesterday examined at this office,
the offence having been committed in the County of Surrey. The
complainant said there were several Inaccuracies in the former
statement. Her husband set out on Wednesday morning for
Hampton, and she set out on the following morning ro meet him.
. When'she arrived on the Race Course, the prisoner said he knew
wlire to find her husband, and she accompanied him into a booth,
'where she saw several men playing with the-pea and the thimbles,
and she put her hand in her bosom to take out a £3 note to bet
on the game, and by mistake cook out a note for "..50, which was
noticed by the prisoner. This note she put, back again, and the
prisoner suddenly snatched at it and raa away. The complainant's
legkl advisir said, that the officers had some clue 6 the parties who
were concerned with the prisoner. lit was remanded.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

An Inquest was heeld on Thursday list, at Cork, on
the bodies of the sailors who had been put to death by
Captain Stewart, of the ship Mary Russell, 'a short ac-
count of which we gave in THE Stec of yesterday, in
an extract from The Cork Southern Reporter. The first
witness was—

Captain CuHendee, the commander of the schooner
May Stubbs, who stated that he fell in with, the Mary
Russell about 300 miles off the coast of Ireland; she bad
a signal of disti cis flying ; he hailed her, and for some
time got no answer, but at last Capt. Stewart put his
head out of the cabin window, and desired the witnesi
to come on board, as there was a mutiny on board, and
he (Captain Stewart) had killed seven of the men.
On his going on board, Capt. Stewart led him into the
cabin, where the witness saw the dead bodies of a pas-
senger (Captain Rapists) and six seamen, which are in
the same state now as when he found them. •The wit-
ness asked wh.st was the cause of this? and he said that
Captain Haynes and one of the men had raised a mu-
tiny, and had compelled him to break his instruments,.
and to throw his charts overboard. He asked witness
to take him home safe to hii wife andlamily. He then
asked the witness whether he was not a valiant little
fellow to kill so many suer. The witness put three of
his own men on board the Mary Russell to take chargel
of her, and then returned to •his own vessel, and kept
• •
company with the Mary Russell until his arrival inl
port. The mate of that ship, and a man named Howes,
had been taken on board witness's ship wounded. Capt.
Stewart had jumped overboard twice before entering
port. It was the opinion of this winks: that Captain
Stewart. is deranged.
The next witness, William Smith, the mate, deposed
to having been bound by the Captain, and subsequently'
nearly killed ; he succeeded, however, in making his'
escape. This witness stated many circumstances which
left no doubt of the insanity of the Captain. As he lay
bound himself, he beard the groans and exclamations
of the persons who were being murdered.
The next witness. Daniel Scully, a boy of thirteen
years of age, from the Brickfields, in this'city (Cork),
deposed that he belongs to the Mary Russell, this being
his first voyage in her to Bar badoes, where they arrived
safe. The Ca'ptain's name is Stewart.' About a week
after leaving Barbadoes; Captain Raynes, a passenger,
went forward to the forecastle, and spoke Irish to
Marley, who was a countryman, and did not under-
stand English well. Captain Stewart told him not to*
go forward to speak Irish to the people, or he would
throw the charts and compasses overboard. The
Captain's countenance was changed from whit it
was when going out—he appeared thin and• pale—
toe charts and log-book and compasses were thrown
overboard. • All the people were on board and sass
them, and they called out to know what was going on
astern? and the Captain made answer—" They are
my charts, Which I have thrown overboard." He got
the harpoons and the carpenter's and the •cook's
axes all in the state roots:. On Thursday last, be-
tween eight and nine o'clock, they spoke an American
vessel, and got some beef and pork, and compared
reckonings. Captain Stewart came on deck. and asked
for the mate Smith, who was d 'WO in the hold; to
which he went and called out, " are you there, Mr.
Smith?" who answered, "Yes. Sir." "'II: well for
you," said be, pointing down the harpoon at him. He
then went in his boat on board the other vessel, and got
Some beef and poik'; after which he went into his cabin,
and alter remaining there about an hour, came up with
A pistol in his hand, andhe called out to the people to
lie Smith, which they refused to do. The Captain then
called on Captain Haynes to tie Smith in the name of
George the Fourth, but Captain Ritynes refused-1)n
Stewart said, 44 Very well, Sir." Mr. Smith then
made answer—' You need not ask a man to lash me.
for a boy would do:' Captain Stewart then called
Swanson, the Second Mate, up, ani tied Smith, who
made no resistance ; he was then led down to the
cabin. Saw nothing whatever iii the conduct of
Smith that should induce the Captain to tie him, as he
was always well conducted. Saw Mr. Smith after-
wards below, where he was tied hands and legs, and he
asked *Mess for a drink of water, which he gave' hit 9
without being hindered by the Captain. There was en
air hole cut in the cabin by the carpenter, at the desire
of the Captaiasto admit air to him. On Saturday last,

about the middle of the.day, the Captain put his head
up the corrrpanion, and' dented Timothy Connell to
come down, on which he called nut to the people to
haul up the foreiail, and stow it; Cramer, the car.
pester, and Keating, replied that they were not able to
stow is themselves. He then asked Captain Rayne; to
help them, who answered, " By all means," and went
aloft and assisted the men; after which Capt. Rayne:
walked the deck, and witness went down in the fore-
castle to his dinner. where Howes and Murky
were before him. When witness came upon deck, he
saw Keating alongside of the companion, where he was
tied to the staple, and: the Captain was then at the
cabin door, watching him. The Captain then called
witness down into the cabin, and whispered to him to
watch whether Keating moved; and he then saw Caps.
Itaynes. Sullivan, Cramer, Swanson, and Connell on
the deck, with their feet and bands lashed. Witness
was surprised at seeing them t:ed, and the men did not
appear out of humour; Nit Cramer said to Connell,
this is a hard case; the latter did not reply but shook
his head. The boy Rickards then went up from the
cabin for Howes. The Captain then came upon deck,
and the witness went into the galley to clean the
coppers. Howes then went aft, and in a short time
returned, and the Captain went after him ; he then
asked him whether he would be tied, or leave Murky
to tie him? Howes inquired what he did to be tied?
but witness did not hear the Captain's answer. Murky
was then ordered by. the Captain to tie Howes, and
when he came fa deck he tied Murley himself.. Morley,
Keating, and Howes were on cl.fck, and the Captain de-
sired witness to watch, and nit by any means to untie
them or Howestwho was near them. The Captain then
dragged Morley down to the cabin, and he did the same
with Keating, who was crying, and the Captain had a
Case of pistols with him at the rime. Howes was on
the after-hatch, and a blanket round hitq,and the Captain
then called him down to the cabin, irid saw all the peo.
ple tied one by one down on the flat of their backs. When
they were 'all there tied' down together, they appeared
frightened; witness then remained about half an Lour,
during which time th.e Captain was tying them stronger
than before, la ith the deep sea lead line; they were
complaining'of beingtoo tigh., and all their hands were
swelling out; the CaPtain loosened th, m, for the blood
was ready to twist through Connell's fingers; there
were three rounds of cord about Murley's neck, and the
froth was corning out of .his mouth, on which the wit
ness was about to put a handkerchief round his neck,
but the Captain would ',raj let him. Connell begged to
have his arms loosed,hut he would not do so. Witness then
slept with the other boy in the State-room, and the Cap-
tain watched, and while the Captain slept they watched.
All this time the ship was hove to under reefed fore-
sail, and the helm down. About four o'clock on Sunday
morning, the boys were roused by the Captain, and the
people were, in the same state as when he left them;
they were all awake, lying down on their backs and
tied. The Captain then overhauled Vieth all to see if
they were tied—he then t theate would give them
the long boat to go about their business, which they all
agreed to but the mate, who was in the lazarette, and
'said he would go home in the tessel; the Captain said he
would give them their allcifeliferar meat, water, and a
bag of bread and compass—and that be would loose one
man only. The Orpenier'laiceillat dne man was not
'sufficient 'to get the lring-bOul'outc knethe Captain ie.'
plied that be would trust an-more thartene man. The
Captain then .came on deck with witness and Deaver,
and the witness called out a sail! The Captain asked

wliete? Witness replied,'" On one lee aoarter ;' pn
which the Captain replied, " 'Tans ALMIGHTY GOD
sent it to get rid of the people." While the ship was
coming up he went ta Howes, whose arm was loosed,
and he desired him to be tieJ and to go ender the after-
hatch ; hut Howes refused and said he would sooner
lose his life than be tied in that way. He then sent.
the boys for harpoons, which they 'nought,' and also
the carpenter's axe and the cook's axe. He then
primed his pistols and fired at Howes, who was only
six feet from him. The ball grazed him; and he fired
again, and the second ball hit Howes; on which the
Captain re•loaded, and tie made the boys go be-
fore, armed ; witness had the grenes, and the ether
boys the harpoons ; and the Captain called out to go
forward and fight, and if they flinched he would
blow their !Allis out, as the pistols were presented at
them. This was on the half-deck. Howes had a case
before him, with which he. protected himself, and the
Captain fired a third shot at him. The man snatched
the harpoon or grenes from Deavesvand gushed on the
Captain, and pushed him down on a cask, and a struggle,
ensued—the Captain lost one of his pistols in the hold,
and he then seized Howe's finger in his mouth, which'
be bit ; while the struggle was going on Rickards ran
up, and got the cook's axe 'and struck the man three
blows with the sharp part of it on the head, which cut
him—after which, 'Howes made his escape into the
hold, where he secreted himself. When ,Howes
got away the Captain applauded Rickards..for what
he did, and said he would get one huodred.guioeas
from Lloyd's, and that he, t' e Captain, would get
some thousands of pounds. What the bbis did Was
from terror, as they were afraid of being 'mur-
dered. Deaves began to cry, and begged sof. the Cap-
tain not to kill the man, on which the Captain scolded
them, and said, w by should they spate hini—aa, he, to
be murdered? The ship, which wad wit:pinball-a mile
of them. then sheered off, and the Capenin'vieht iiito the
cabin and called witness and Rickards,' ana`said to the.
people, " The curse of GOD is on you all—tliert'a thel
ship come to us twice, and went away ;" and took up.
the vow-bar which lay on the floor, and struck the
second mate (Swanson)' right on the point of the
skull, and knocked him senseless at once!. They all
cried out most piteously, " The LoRD have mercy on
their souls," and they all gave Scully their blessing,
except Swanson, who was senseless, and Capt. Rayner,
wha was saying his prayers. He then killed Mu. ley,
Cramer, ,Sullivan, Keating, Connell, and Capt. It gees.
He tonic the cook's axe and vent round th. m, and b. at
out, their brains.... He•went to Capt. Baynes anci struck
bins repeatedly on •the face and e) es with. the crow-b sr.
While killing them he only called out —" You ruffians;
you ruffians, you were going to take my life, but
take yours." He did not seem to be much in a pissioe,
but the perspiration was falling off his face: he then took
the crow-bar and a harpoon to the cabin-door, and struck
the mate repeatedly, after which he put his hand on his
neck, and finding it cold, he said that he was done.
Wthen desired the witness to bring the beet to him,
and having cut some slices off, he. drank some grog,
and smoked his pipe over the dead bodies. He then
had Deaves called down, and he (the Captain) raised
his hand and said—" Look boys, at my hand,' how
steady it is —I think no more of killing them than
if they were dead dogs." He then repeated that the
boys would get one hundred golden guineas, and
that he would get seven or eight thuosand pounds
for saving the ship, as' she was the largest out of Lon-
don.—After this he went forward and lashed down
the companion, for fear Howes would attack him, aria
he tied the speaking trumpet to it to know it any
, one would be there. He lashed the skylight* after-

wards. It being now about nine o'clock, he went VI deer
in his clothes, and the boys kept w-.tch for lum—ehey

on which the Captain called nut twice hn, one

of an hour, and when he woke he said, the ALstioura

weapons from them (the boys). Delves got pale at the
idea of the vessel going so well. He then hegan tai
tie the boys. when " little Tommy Hammond" called
out to the Captain not to kill the boys or lie mould
die. The Captain then knelt
.down, and gave the*
pistol and knife he had in his hands to Tommy
Hammond; and he took the Bible and gave his oath
that lie would not kill the boys, and if he did any harms'
to them, for hits (Hammond) t.) shoot him. Ile then
tied Rickards and witness with their hands behind their
hack, and their feet, and at that moment there was a
hail from the schooner, on which the Captain lnoked
out of the window, and he then opened the companion.
and went on deck. Tommy Hammond then went in
and unlashed them, and they were all taken on board,
He seemed as collected as ever, and gave his directions
about the ship as well as ever. There was no appearance
of mutiny; he (witness) was always with the people, and
heard nothing from them. They weieull very pleasant
when first tied,but afterwards they got alai rned.They got
no rum on the voyage, and the Captain drank rt all;
when he accused them of mutiny, they denied having
been engaged iu any such thing. Heard them say re-
peatedly that they would not hurt the hair of his head,
and were quite astonished when he used to charge
them ; when he was murdering them they were about
seventy miles from land.

John Howes, a seaman, gave evidence as to various
acts of insanity of the Captain.
Thomas Hammond, a boy only eleven years of age,
was then examined, and when he had concluded hit
testimony, the Jury retired for a few minutes, and re-
turned with the following verdict—" That the several
sailors and passengers were killed by the hanos Cap•
