Sentenced 70 Death for CannibaIism.

LONDON, December 9.-Captlin Dudley
and mate, Of the wrecked yacht MignOn-
cite, who were found guilty OF murder in
killing the boy Parker for food TO keep
themselves alive, were to-day sentenced to
death. II is believed that they will be GER
tainly pardOned.
The courtroom was crowded, and the
scene during the pTonouncing OF sentence
was most impressive. Lord Chief-Justice
Coeridge read the judgment OF the Court,
citing authorities at great length. The
Court declared that the taking OF human
life could only be justified on plea OF self
defence. The commission OF murder for
the sake Of preserving ones own life was
uniustifablc. OF course |. was duty TO pre-
serve ones own life, but duty often
required one not to save but to sacrifice his
own life. The Court must apply the law,
and declare that the prisoners were guilty
of wilful murder. for which there was no
Justification. II this judgment vas too Sc
we're the Court must leave the prisoners TO
the clemency OF the Crown. The
prisoners were asked what they had
10 say before sentence was pro-
nounced. Both Captain Dudley and
Mate Stephens pleaded for mercy, in
view OF their terrible situation when the
deed was done. Lord Colcridge said it
was the iury's privilege to recommend
prisoners to mercy. and then he sentenced
them to be hanged, but without the black
cap.
Sir William Vernon HarcOurt, Secretary
OF Stote for the Home Department. has adj
vised the Queen to respite Dudley and
stephens.
