The Crown Solicitor then went on to say that the prisoners woIO wanted by the Chinese authori- ties in Canton on a requisition which alleged that they had committed the crime of armed piracy on board the sa. Childar, a vessel flying the Norwegian flag, on the high seas when forty five miles from Hongkong, on March 15: The piracy was fami- liar to his Worship. He would prove that there was n piracy on that ship on the date mentioned and the evidence be would pre- duca connecting, those prisoners with the affair would be of a very substantial character with regard to the first six. With regard to the Feventh, eighth and ninth, the evi- dence against them was that they were accessories after the fact; it could not be proved that they were actually on board the Childar at the time, but the evidence he would Bubmit, would be sufficient to warrant their com- mittal as being accessories to that crime of piracy. The first prioner was arrested in Macao st a house OR the Praia. Before the piracy occurred his headquarters wore is this Colony at 214, Reclamation Street and that was an important address in this ense because it appeared that this piracy was batched, concool- ed and organised there, and it was that address that connected the prisonere seven, sight and nino. The evidence was clear that the first defendant was actually on board the Childer and took 1. very activol part in the piracy and they were fortunate in having souared him as he appeared to be more or less of a ringleader of the piracy.
