ADMIRALTY SESSIONS
Thomas Younghusband was indicted for felony and piracy, he being a natural-born subject of his Majesty, and being found serving on board the Philosophe French privateer. It appeared that the prisoner was born at Berwick upon Tweed, and served his apprenticeship to a surgeon there. The privateer above mentioned, being taken by the Desiree, off the Texel, the prisoner was found on board her, acting as surgeon. In his defence, the prisoner said, that he had left England 20 years ago, and resided at Ostend, where he had left a wife and three children. He had never borne arms against his Majesty; and since he had left this country, he, together with his father, had had their property confiscated, for services rendered to the British army on the Continent, during the campaign of the Duke of York. He had been forced from home during the Scheldt expedition, to join the ranks of the French; that he gone on board the privateer to avoid worse consequences; and it was tyranny and distress which led him there. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty; and the Judge immediately passed sentence of death upon him. The Jury recommended the prisoner to mercy; and the Judge observed, the recommendation should be considered, and laid before the proper authority.
John Bruce was indicted for the wilful murder of James Dean, a youth of 17 years old, on the 14th of September, on the passage over the ferry at Milford Haven. It appeared that the prisoner had called at the house of Waters the ferryman, late at night on the 13th of September, had been permitted to sleep there, and the next morning, when the boy was going over the ferry to Aichen, the prisoner said he would go with him to angle, and then barbarously murdered the boy in the boat, in order to obtain �1. 3s. which had been given to the boy by his master, to pay for a cask of ale. The case was fully detailed at the time. Some questions arose as to whether this water was within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty: Lord Ellenborough clearly shewed that it was. Witnesses having proved the facts, the prisoner was called on for his defence; when he said, "The charge is true."
The Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner guilty.- He begged for time to make his peace with God.- Sir.W. Scott passed sentence of Death on the prisoner, and ordered him for execution on Saturday next; and that his body should afterwards be delivered over to the surgeons for dissection. The execution was consequently ordered to be postponed till Monday next, on account of the tide serving more particularly on that day.
LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, DEC 19.
The melancholy intelligence of the loss of his Majesty's cutter Alban, commanded by Lieut.Kay, on the coast of Suffolk, has been received from Aldborough. She was driven from her station on the Dutch coast, by the heavy gales, and forced on shore near Aldborough yesterday morning, and is a complete wreck. She had 56 men, three women, and two children on board. Only one woman (servant to Mr.Kay), and a young seaman, names James Newton, are saved. The surgeon, Mr.James Thompson, came on shore with some life in him, but died immediately afterwards.
FORGERY.- John Shipman was executed in the front of Newgate on Thursday. Thomas Caley is ordered for execution on Wednesday next.
HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY.- Charles Frederick Palm and Samuel Telling were yesterday indicted for the murder of James Keith, on the High Seas, within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. There were three other indictments against the prisoners, charging them with the murder of William Smith, the first mate of the said vessel, and two black men belonging thereto, the one called Joe, and the other called John.
The Common Serjeant stated the case to the Court and to the Jury. The deceased James Keith was master and sole owner of the vessel called the Adventure, and having embarked the whole of his property therein, to the amount of nearly �2000. he resolved to make a voyage to the South Seas upon a fishing concern, and for that purpose engaged a crew, which, with himself and three boys, amounted to 14 persons, among whom were the two prisoners. He sailed from Portsmouth in the month of November last year, and for a part of the time had a prosperous voyage; but one of the crew dying, he put into the island of St.Thomas, and took in the two black men. He then shaped his course towards Congar, upon the coast of Africa, intending to make a voyage to the South Seas; but whilst 150 leagues off that place, the crew began to shew strong symptoms of mutiny; and in the month of April last, the dreadful circumstances took place, which became the subject of these indictments. About the hour of four in the morning the boy at the steerage gave alarm to the Captain, who was asleep in his cabin, that there was something wrong going forward - he hearing a bustle, and observing that the whole of the crew, except himself, the other two boys, the two blacks, and the Captain and Mate, were all upon the fore part of the deck. Upon this the Captain jumped up, and, without his clothes, ran upon the deck; but seeing the state of the crew, he instantly returned down, and called the Mate, Wm.Smith, to his assistance, who instantly came.What followed was horrible in the extreme. The Captain was murdered by the prisoner Palm; the first Mate, Wm.Smith, was murdered by a man named Wm.Wright, and a Swede named Peter; and both their bodies were thrown overboard. Palm then headed the mutineers, took possession of the ship, and assumed command, and there being three other Swedes as well as himself on board, he received from the crew the most implicit obedience; they all in a body, except the boy at the helm and the two blacks, proceeded to the cabin, where they found a bible belonging to the cabin boy, Henry Madis, upon which they jointly and severally took the following oath - "May I never see the light of Heaven, if I divulge any of these secrets!" when they each kissed the book, and the boy at the steerage, on his being relieved, did the like.- As soon as this was over, it was next agreed to murder the poor blacks, and Peter, the Swede, with William Wright, were selected for that deed. They accordingly provided themselves with a loaded pistol each, and each taking a glass of rum in his left hand, they went up to the Blacks, and having presented to each of them the glass of rum, shot them both whilst in the act of drinking the rum, and Telling threw their bodies overboard; they then divided the property of the Captain between them, and Palm's shirt being covered with the Captain's blood, he very deliberately took it off, broke open the Captain's trunk, and put on a new one belonging to the Captain, throwing his own overboard. After this the whole crew remained in the ship, and they steered with the view of making the first land; but being ignorant, and unable to navigate her, Palm adopted the resolution of scuttling her, which accordingly took place; and having plundered the vessel of all that was valuable, they stowed the property in two boats, and at a distance of 50 leagues from the shore, they took to the boats, eleven in number, viz. the three boys, of whom Henry Madis was one, together with Palm, Telling, Peter, Lawrence, and Lawson, the three Swedes, William Wright, and two others. They reached the land, but one of the boats was swamped, and they lost all the property therein, and Geo.Row, one of the boys, was drowned. They next got ashore, and travelled up the country to a village, but the moment they entered it, the black natives rushed upon them, seized them as slaves, despoiled them of all their ill-gotton wealth, and stripping them stark naked, led them off through the country to be sold as white slaves. In this deplorable state they remained several weeks traversing a vast tract of country, during which all of them died through disease, cruelty of the Black natives, or fatigue, except the witness, Henry Madis, and the two prisoners, Palm and Telling, with W.Wright, who has not yet been apprehended, and the survivors were marched to Cape Lopez, a Southern promontory of Africa, where the Black Chief released them, supposing that they were ship-wrecked mariners: and after a short time a Portuguese vessel touching there, Palm and Wright took their voyage to Europe in her, and in a few days after a Liverpool ship also touching there, the first mate of which is named Capper, Telling and Madis got a passage in her, and they were landed at Liverpool in September last.
These facts were clearly proved in evidence; and the Jury, after an excellent charge from Mr.Baron Thompson, brought in a verdict of Wilful Murder against both the prisoners.
As soon as the verdict was pronounced, they immediately began to recriminate each other, and Palm, when called upon for his defence, said that the witness partook of all the crimes, as well as others, and that Telling threw the Captain overboard. This Telling denied, alleging that the murders were committed only by the Swedes, and adding that he the part which he did merely to save his own life.
Silence being proclaimed, Sir W.Scott, after suitable remarks upon the enormity of their offences, sentenced them to be hanged at Execution Dock on Monday next, and their bodies to be delivered over to be dissected and anatomized.
When the sentences were pronounced, they again attacked each other with mutual accusations, till they were removed by the officers of justice. Both of them are greatly emaciated.

A Clergyman named Tait, who had undertaken the parochial duty at Christchurch, during the necessary absence of the incumbent, appears to have been engaged the whole time (about three months) in systematic fraud. He had a wife and child with him; at first they resided at the George Inn, and afterwards in private lodgings, living most extravagantly in each, but paying nothing at either place. He obtained of different tradesmen provisions, wines, linen, and cloaths of various kinds, silver articles, and trinkets, thus defrauding no less than twenty-six tradesmen; besides which he borrowed sums of three or four others. At length he absconded, leaving his wife and child pennyless; but in pity to their situation, a sufficient sum was raised by subscription to defray the expence of conveying them to London, where the unfortunate woman has friends.

Mrs. Jordan performed at our Theatre on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening. On Monday she played the Widow Cheerly; on Wednesday Letitia Hardy, in the Belle's Stratagem; and on Friday Violante, the Wonder, and Nell, in The Devil to Pay. There was a numerous and elegant audience each night, but on Friday the House was most crowded, - a sufficient proof that her fascinating talents had been successfully exerted; and the influence of her attraction will probably extend beyond the three nights of her engagement, as the drawing together of the first full audiences enabled the Manager to shew off to his patrons the very excellent company he has engaged for their amusement. Mrs.Smith frequently shared the applause with Mrs.Jordan; and there was generally so much good acting, that it may appear invidious further to particularise any one.
