Peter was found _guilty_ on this testimony, and sentenced for execution on the 2d of July.[7] AMHERST, belonging to Mrs. Lining, was next examined, found _not guilty_, and _discharged_. The Court then proceeded to the trial of NED, the property of Governor Bennett. _Ned’s_ guilt was proved fully by the same witnesses that appeared against Peter Poyas, with whom it was established he was in the habit of frequent consultation on the efforts that were to be made. Subsequent disclosures have justified very strongly the finding of the Court against him, and placed it beyond a doubt, that he was a ringleader, and was to have headed a force in the vicinity of the Lines. He was found _guilty_, and sentenced for execution on the 2d of July. On the 24th of June, the Court discharged as _not guilty_, _Samuel Guifford_ and _Robert Hadden_, two free persons of colour, as also _Matthias_, the slave of Governor Bennett; _Mungo_, the slave of Mr. Poyas; _Robert_, the slave of Mr. Harth, and _Richard_ and _John_, the slaves of Mr. Lucas. On the 25th of June, the Court examined the cases of _Jim_, belonging to Mr. Ancrum; _Sandy_, belonging to Mr. Holmes, and _Friday_, the property of Mr. Rout, all of whom were found _not guilty_, and _discharged_. On Wednesday, the 26th of June, the Court proceeded to the trial of ABRAHAM, the slave of Dr. Poyas. The only proof adduced against _Abraham_, was the following letter, found in the trunk of Peter Poyas, and acknowledged by Abraham to have been written by himself,— “DEAR SIR,—With pleasure I give you an answer. I will endeavour to do it. Hoping that God will be in the midst to help his own. Be particular and make a sure remark. Fear not, the Lord God that delivered Daniel is able to deliver us. All that I inform agreed. I am gone up to Beach-Hill.” (Signed) ABRAHAM POYAS.” Although this letter was extremely suspicious, yet, there being no other testimony against Abraham, he was found _not guilty_ of the charge ‘of attempting to raise an insurrection among the blacks against the whites.’ On Thursday the 27th, DENMARK VESEY, a free black man, was brought before the Court for trial, Assisted by his Counsel, G. W. CROSS, Esq.
