Lawrence, and secure their booty on shore
after which they would go 10 The States, and
return with some small vessel 10 bring IL away.
This well laid scheme was, however, defeated
by his own cupidily and reckless nhumaniiy.
In conversation IN next day with Johnston Field
ing said that he would get rid Of Carr and G. lIo-
way when they got near the land, by giving them
a dose Of poison, and ailtg that they must have
the crew still farther reduced. This Johnston did
not approve OF, and mentioned Il 10 his comrades,
which occasioned them all 10 feel suspicious Of
Fielding These suspicious were increased by
Their accidentally discovering that he had seceted
two horse pistols, rome ammunition and large
carving knife. This they immt dlaeIy taxed him
with, but he denied knowing any hing about them
and in a conuoveny thar ensued, he said that he
would throw himself overheard, and was leaving
the cabin proiessedly with that intent. They, how
ever, took hold Of him 10 stop him, and having
got hold Of him, they KEEP, him. and on some one
OF them saying that he ought 10 be secured, they
momentarily came 10 determination 10 do il, and
tied him hand and foot, and melancholy 10 say the
young boy, who had taken no part in
the transaction, was tied also. In this
state they we're left on the cabin floor all night.
The next morning, the son. It would appear,
liberated tor he was afterwards found on the Tor
ward part OF the deck. As for the monster, Field
ing himself, he had his feet united and was brought
on deck, and was made 10 hear he consultation
respe ctlpg what was 10 be done with him. The
result OF which consultation was that they should
throw him overheard, and this was accordingly
done; and Carr ard Galloway were made 10 assist
IN dong. The poor little boy was forward al the
Time. and Notwithstanding his pireous prayers Tor
mercy, and his screams ct alright, he thrown
over also. After the confessions were read, The
prosecution closed, and the Chief Judge. going
by one through the list OF prisoners as they
were named IN The Indictment, asked them
II they had anything 10 say in behalf Of
themselves. Johnston IN reply asked leave 10 read
a paper he before spoke a: which leave WAS
granted This paper was evidently prepared under
the hope that there was still prospect OF mercy
for HIM; but il disclosed no facts on which such
hope could be grounded. The other prisoners re-
ierred their defence 10 their counsel William
Young and l.. U'C. Doyle, Esqrs each addressed
The jury in short speech on behalf Of the prisoners;
but II was evident that neither had aDy expecra-
lions OF saving them from The tpenay 20 justly due
10 the aggravated crimes they had been gully Of.
The Jury, after quarter Of an hours absence,
turned with verdict IN accordance with his Lord
ships charge-that The tour prisoners were guilty.
The trial OF the other two prisoners, Carr and
| Galloway. for the murder Of Captain Fielding and
his son, was broueh, on the next day. the l9lh,
but the result has not reached us. They pro-
