A REHEARING FOR CAPT. KIDD.

AT q recent meeting Of the st. Nicholas Club
Of New York, a paper WAS read, recountipg
aome Of the incidents connected with the trial
or Capt. Kidd, the pirate, which took place at
the Red Bailey (Newgate) in London, In May.
l70I. Kidd was arraigned upon an indictment
Tor the murder or one William Moore. There
were also several other indictments against
him and nine of his crew for piracy. The
recorder or the city Of London presided on
the occasion. Kidd, after the reading OF the
Indictment, was called to the bar and directed
TO plead guilty or not guilty. Before doing
90 he asked permission to have counsel to de-
fend him. This application was denied by the
recorder on the grounds that prisoner in
dicted for felony could not have the benefit OF
council, except merely to discuss questions of
law: that for the examination OF witnesses
and summing up to the jury the accused must
act for himself. Kidd then asked for post
ponement OF the trial until he could obtain
his evidence, and was informed that such ap-
plication must be made after his plea was
entered. Having pleaded not guilty. he re-
newed his application for postponement. ii
but for single day, but was informed
that he was too late-he should have moved
on affldavits showing the necessity OF certain
papers he desired to introduce In evidence.
This summary proceeding may be said to
have promptly settled the piratical captains
hash. witness, one Of kidd's mutinous
crew. was placed upon the stand and testified
that be saw Kidd strike Moore the blow that
resulted In death. The theory Of the law
upon which the prisoner was allowed NO
counsel was that the court acted as his coun-
rel, and that he needed no other. In this case
the prisoners counsel made not an effort In
his favor, asked not question to elucidate
Hi innocence, raised not an objection to the
testimony. but all the ability and ingenuity
Of the ak judges were combined to aid the
I'VE council for the prosecution Ia obtaining
III conviction. At the close OF the testimony
Lord Chief Baron Wood delivered q labored
Nj partaal charge against tho prisoner, and
- Jury retired. ~ soon 8 tho jury len the
