_David Meredith_ being also sworn, declared, That _Bunce_ did once beat the Prisoner, who told him, that if _Bunce_, &c. beat him once more, he would desert them the first Opportunity. The Tenth, _William Ling_ had nothing farther to say for himself. Then the Prisoners were remanded to the Fort; after which, all Manner of Persons were commanded by Proclamation to withdraw. Then the Court summ'd up the Evidences for the King and the Prisoners, which being debated and considered, all the Prisoners, except _John Hipps_, were unanimously voted guilty of their Indictment, and the Register was ordered to draw up their Sentence. It was thought convenient to respite the Judgment on _John Hipps_, Prisoner, till _Monday_ next; and the Court adjourn'd till Four this Afternoon, at which Time being met according to Adjournment, and Proclamation made, the Prisoners were brought to the Bar. Then _John Hipps_ was remanded to the Guardship in Irons, and all the rest asked, if they knew any Cause why Sentence of Death should not be pronounced against them? They had nothing more to say, but to desire some Length of Time for Repentance. Then the Sentence was read, as follows: The Court having duly considered of the Evidence which hath been given both for and against you the said _John Augur_, _William Cunningham_, _Dennis Mackarthy_, _Geo. Rounsivel_, _Wm Dowling_, _Wm Lewis_, _Tho. Morris_, _Geo. Bendall_ and _Wm Ling_; and having also debated the several Circumstances of the Cases, it is adjudged, that you the said _John Augur_, _Wm Cunningham_, _Dennis Mackarthy_, _Geo. Rounsivel_, _Wm Dowling_, _Wm Lewis_, _Tho. Morris_, _Geo. Bendall_ and _Wm Ling_, are guilty of the Mutiny, Felony, and Pyracy, wherewith you and every of you stand accused. And the Court doth accordingly pass Sentence, that you the said _John Augur_, _Wm. Cunningham_, _Dennis Mackarthy_, _Geo. Rounsivel_, _Wm. Dowling_, _Wm. Lewis_, _Tho. Morris_, _Geo. Bendall_ and _Wm. Ling_, be carried to Prison from whence you came, and from thence to the Place of Execution, where you are to be hanged by the Neck till you shall be dead, dead, dead; and God have Mercy on your Souls. Given under our Hands this 10th Day of _October, Annoq; Dom._ 1718, sign'd _Woodes Rogers_, _Wm Fairfax_, _Robert Beauchamp_, _Thomas Walker_, _Wingate Gale_, _Nathaniel Taylor_, _Josias Burgiss_, _Peter Courant_. After Sentence of Death pass'd upon the Prisoners, the Governor, as President of the Court, appointed their Execution to be at Ten a-Clock on _Friday_ next in the Morning being the 12th Instant.
