The Third, _John Hipps_ having the same Question put, answer'd, that if _John Raddon_ and _Henry White_ had not been absent, they could have declared many Things in his Favour. Then the Court proposed to every Person, who was an Auditor of the Trial, that any might have Leave to declare upon Oath, any Thing they had heard _John Raddon_ or _Henry White_ say in Behalf of _John Hipps_, Prisoner: Upon which, _Samuel Lawford_, Constable, appear'd, and being sworn, declared, That he heard _George Raddon_ say, that he should have been glad to have done the old Boatswain any Service, meaning _Hipps_, the Prisoner at the Bar; for the said _Raddon_ had seen him cry for his having consented, tho' by Force, to join _Bunce_, &c. the Prisoner having also declared to _Raddon_, that he would fight each of the Pyrates singly, if he could by that Means get clear of them. This Deponent farther said, that _Raddon_ told him, he firmly believed the Prisoner at the Bar would have escaped from the other Pyrates, as soon as he could have got an Opportunity. The Fourth, _Dennis Mackarthy_, Prisoner, made some faint Excuse, and at length desired Captain _Benjamin Hornigold_, as farther Evidence for him; who being sworn, declared, That when he the said _Hornigold_ went to apprehend the Prisoners, who were on one of the _Exuma_ Keys, he the said Prisoner was one of the first taken, and seem'd to the said _Hornigold_ to throw himself, and to have Dependance, on the Mercy of the Governor. The Fifth, _George Rounsivel_, Prisoner, had no farther Plea to make. The Sixth, _William Dowling_, Prisoner, only desired _Thomas Petty_ to be again call'd, who being sworn, only declared, That he the Prisoner had Offers made by the _Spaniards_ to go in their Service, but the Prisoner refused them. The Seventh, _William Lewis_ desired _Richard Turnley_ might be again called, who being sworn, declared, That he the Deponent did not see the said Prisoner when the Sloop _Mary_ was first taken, but the Day after he saw the Prisoner under Arms, as active as any one of the Pyrates. The Eighth, _Thomas Morris_, Prisoner, had little more to say than pretending that several Persons who were absent, would say something in his Justification; but no one present declared any Thing in his Favour. The Ninth, _George Bendall_, Prisoner, had nothing to plead for himself; but desiring Mr. _Kerr_ for Evidence, he was sworn, and declared, That he heard the Prisoner say, that he wish'd he had begun the Life sooner, for he thought it a pleasant One, meaning that of a Pyrate; and farther deposed, that the Prisoner reported, that he had once a strong Inclination to have smother'd _John Graves_, Esq; his Majesty's Collector for the Islands, as he lay feeble in his Bed, whose Servant the Prisoner was, but a short Time before he shipp'd himself for the intended Voyage, when he join'd the other Prisoners at the Bar in their Mutiny and Pyracy.
