couple Of chapters in the Bible and writing short
note to his wife. After doing 50 he was marched
under strong guard Of the Sixth Royal regiment TO

George William Gordon, member Of the Assembly and
exmagstrae, victim of the sedtious doctrines he had
himself SO freely disseminated He struggled fully If

PAUL BoGLE.
This notorious rebel brought into MOrant Bay
about eleven o'clock the Tuesday following George
William Gordon's execution. He came in escorted by q
large body Of Maroons his arrival announced by
the blowing of shells The greatest excitement prevailed
in Morant Bay when il positively ascertaned that
the monster had really fallen into our hands and was
soon to meet the punishment he so justly merted In
appearance he was man between forty-nve and nifty
years old, black, with thick heavy reddish lips blurred
sullen countenance and logged manner bespoke
him capable Of committing all the atrocities with
which he was charged At about one o'clock Of the
day he placed his trial. and entered into
defence whatever except few questions in the form OF
cross examination.
Paul's brother placed along with him FOR tra: and
portrayed the sullen and logged appearance He
was severely wounded by brown man named Boutwell,
who captured him, and who also received a
wound on the right arm Moses Boyle was what IS gene

OLD BUIE,
the Captain General Of the rebel forces also tried
and condemned on the same day. He was man, we
should suppose, bordering sixty I'VE years OF age,

gray beard which he wore On the day those three
rebels-the principal ringleaders in the massacrewere

word after condemnation, but met their doom with an
Indifference painful 70 behold.

THE coNsPIRAToRs' PLAN.
Among the reasonable documents recently captured
by the authorities in their search since the outbreak In
have been prepared under the direction Of General
Lamothe, the Haytien refugee.
The plan presents the point at which the city was 70

was to commence. and the points at which posts

who escaped 10 the leading out OF the city. The

GENERAL LAMorHE IMPLICATED.
The schooner Oracle which sailed just before the out
break ostensbly for Insgua strange to say, put into
Port Antonio the 25th with flag Of distress stating
that the vessel had sprung leak From information
that had been supplied TO the authorities she was seized
and was proved that sns had on board Genera a.
munitions Of war. General Lamothe offered $4,000
to Mr. Paul Ramsay the Inspector Of Police II he would
permit him to escape. The ofer was Indignantly re-
fused The Oracle brought up 10 Kingston in tow Of
one Of her MAjesys vessels Of war; who delivered over
the prisoners to the guard ship Aboukr, where they
were 10 await the decision Of the authorities.
THE PLAN FOB GENERAL RISING.
From all that be gathered appears that the out
break At Morant Bay was premature II was TO have
commenced according the best information that can
be obtained on Christmas Eve, and was 70 have been

strange that verincation Of this information should
have been elected from prisoner In the general Psn
