Convict Notes
ADMIRALTY SESSIONS, Feb. 8. Hugh Hastings and Alexander Mahonu were charged with having on the February last, being then mariners on board the Havannah packet, piratically and feloniously conspired to carry off the said vessel. The charge was varied in three other accounts. It appeared from the evidence of the first and second mate, and one of the mariners of the Havannah Packet, that the prisoners and the greater part of the rest of the crew being dissatisfied with their allowance on the voyage to the Havannah, became very unruly, disregarded the authority of the Captain, talked of bringing the guns (two 18- pounders) from the hold, and turning the vessel into a privateer, first throwing the officers overboard. Much of this, however, seemed to the mere ebullition of discontent and intoxication, without any determination to put their threats into execution. The Captain and the Mates seized the two prisoners, the most prominent of the rioters, and chained them to the deck, until they reached the Havannah ; where they were delivered over Spanish guard-ship, and afterwards conveyed to England. The others absconded on reaching the Havannah.—Mr. Brodrick on behalf of the prisoners, took an objection to the indictment, which the Court reserved for the opinion of the Judges.—The jury found the prisoners euiltv on two of the counts.—Lord Stowell respited the judgment until the point raised by Mr. Brodrick was decided.
