ated to Captain Shortland, saying that the man was so
badly wounded that it required several to support him; on which
Captain Shortland struck him several blows with his fists, and he
appeared to me, from the whole of his conduct, to be much
intoxicated with liquor--and further the deponent saith not.

No. IV.

We, the undersigned, depose and say--

That on the 6th of April, in the evening, we were in the yard of
No. 1 and No. 3 prisons, when we heard the firing at the gates,
and saw the prisoners all endeavoring to get into their respective
prisons. In going down towards the lower door of the prisons, we
saw a party of soldiers, who were posted on the walls, commence
firing on the prisoners, and we saw a man fall, who immediately
died, and several others were badly wounded before they were able
to get into the prisons.

walking in the yard of No. 7 prison; all being as tranquil among
the prisoners as usual; I observed an unusual number of soldiers
mounting the walls; and one of them called to one of the
prisoners, and told him he (the prisoner) _had better go into the
prison, as the prisoners would soon be charged upon_. While he was
asking the cause of such a proceeding, I heard the alarm bell
ringing. I immediately run to the gates leading to the square,
when I saw Captain Shortland at the head of the armed soldiery
marching down to the gratings, the prisoners at the same time
running to see what was the matter; on the soldiers coming to the
gratings, Capt. Shortland ordered them to charge, which they did;
the prisoners immediately run to their respective prisons; on
passing
