intention of Easterby and Macfarlane that the ship should be destroyed with such cargo as should be on board her at the time of her being sunk was further proved by the circumstance of their having caused to be effected insurances upon the cargo to the amount in the whole of 10,2501., whereas the goods found on board after the ship with her cargo was weighed up and brought to land at Brightelmstone were proved to have been of the original value as between seller and buyer of 32317. ls. 6d. and no more; and by their having respectively withdrawn from the cargo, after the same had been originally shipped as part thereof, several articles, some being stores for the ship's use, a part of which were carried away by Easterby alone, and others put on board a ship called the William belonging to Easterby and Macfarlane, for the use of that ship; others being articles of considerable value packed up for exportation as merchandise, of which no less than 15 considerable packages were found in the house of Easterby; and other like goods which had been at Macfarlane's house were found at the house of a friend of Macfarlane, to which they had been removed for the purpose of concealment, upon Macfarlane's being taken into custody. It was also proved that Easterby two days after the loss of the vessel came down to Brighton, near which place the ship had been cast away, and that Easterby there in the presence of Macfarlane and Codling asked another witness (Cooper) where he had bored the hole, and what size it was, and whether it was about the size of the handle of a chissel which happened to be in the room where they were; and the witness having answered that it was thereabouts, Easterby bid him get the handle out of the chissel and sharpen one end of it in order therewith to plug up the hole in case the vessel should drive on shore. That Easterby afterwards abused Codling for not having taken the vessel to the coast of France, and there destroyed her. And that Macfarlane and Easterby then ordered Codling and Cooper to go to London together and secrete themselves for their safety, which they accordingly did. It was objected on the part of the prisoners Easterby and Macfarlane, that assuming them to be owners of the ship, and that the evidence stated proved them to have been guilty of feloniously procuring the ship in question to be cast away or destroyed within the 6th sect. of the act 11 Ged. 1. c. 29., yet Vide Keilw. p. 67. 20 H. 7. 2 & 3 Ed. 6. yet that the same offence did not appear to have been com- This case was argued before all the Judges in the Exchequer- The prisoners afterwards received a free pardon.
