Father Giebler was a Brazilian Catholic Clergyman temporarily residing | at the Mission House in Wellington Street, and defendant was a clerk in Messrs. Butterfield & Swire's.

a few pregnant words to his countrymen around the gibbet; and went to meet his God with a smile on his face. A regiment of such uen as Tika Ram' would be invincible in the field of battle.
