C. J. Holt. You shall have an Order Then the Court went on the Tryal of the Six Pyrates and after the Tryal was over Tho. Vaughan was call'd to the Barr. T. Vaughan My Lord my Irons are very uneasie to me I desire they may be taken off L. C. J. Holt. Ay ay take them off Mr. Phipps If your Lordship please we have some doubts as to the Indictment L. C. J. Holt. If you have any Exceptions you ought to have made them before the Prisoner pleaded to it Mr. Phipps I thought you had allow'd it my Lord in former Cases L. C. J. Holt. No we did not allow it as of Right due to the Prisoner the Exceptions should have been made before the Plea You were indulg'd in being heard at first in the Cases of Rookwood Cranburne and Lowick but it was not the intent of the Act to alter the Method of the Proceeding and so upon consideration hath it been determin'd The Prisoner hath time given by the Act to make any exception to the Indictment before he pleaded but you may move what you will afterwards in Arrest of Judgment if it be material Cl. of Arr. Thomas Vaughan Those Men that you shall hear called and Personally appear are to pass between our Sovereign Lord the King and you upon Tryal of your Life and Death if therefore you will Challenge them or any of them your time is to speak unto them as they come to the Book to be Sworn before they be Sworn Mr. Phipps There was one Man here that desir'd to be excus'd because he was on the Grand Jury therefore it seems there are some return'd upon this Jury that were on the Grand Jury which I think ought not to be L. C. J Holt. Challenge them then Mr. Phipps We do not know the Men. Then the Pannel was call'd over and a great many Challenges made and the Twelve Men that were Sworn were these Fd. Leeds Caleb Hook Nath. Green Joceline Roberts Hen. Sherbrook Tho. Parker Jo. Sherbrook Peter Gray Tho. Emms. Roger Poston Peter Parker Woolley Cl. of Arr. Cryer make Proclamation Cryer O Yes If any one can inform my Lords the King's Justices the King's Serjeant the King's Attorney General the King's Advocate in his High Court of Admiralty before this Inquest be taken of the High Treason whereof Thomas Vaughan the Prisoner at the Barr stands Indicted let them come forth and they shall be heard for now the Prisoner at the Bar stands upon his Deliverance and all others that are bound by Recognizance to give Evidence against the Prisoner at the Bar let them come forth and give their Evidence or else they forfeit their Recognizance Cl. of Arr. Tho. Vaughan hold up thy Hand Which he did You that are Sworn look upon the Prisoner and hearken to his Cause He stands Indicted by the Name of Thomas Vaughan Whereas That before and until the 8th day of July in the 7th Year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord King William the Third there was open War between our said Lord the King and Lewis the French King And that the said War continued on the said 8th Day of July in the 7th Year aforesaid and doth still continue And that for all the time aforesaid the said Lewisthe French King and his Subjects were and at present are Enemies of our said Lord the King that now is And that at the time of the said War and before the said 8th day of July in the 7th Year aforesaid the said Lewis the French King set out amongst others a certain small Ship of Warr called the Loyal Clencarty
sober indeed Mr. Phipps Did you ever after hear him say he was an Irishman Mr. Crittenden The next day he deny'd it Mr. Cowper When he had consider'd the danger of it Mr. Crittenden The next day he was examin'd by some of the Justices of the Peace Mr. Soll. Gen. Was you by when he was examined by the Justices Mr. Crittenden Yes Mr. Soll. Gen. What did he then say Mr. Crittenden Then he said he was of Martenico Mr. Soll. Gen. Set up Mr. Bullock who was sworn Mr. Bullock do you know the Prisoner at the Bar Mr. Bullock Yes Mr. Sol. Gen. Pray what have you heard him say of his Design that he came into England for Mr. Bullock He came to Dover about the 14 th of July 1695. as I remember I went with several others who were brought by the Captain of the Coventry and the Lieutenant and some others And when we came thither he there owned himself an Irishman but when he went the next day to be examined he said he was of Martenico He told me he had that Barge from the Duke of Bulloign and came on the Coast and was chased into the Flatts where they took him L. C. J. Holt. Did you ever hear him say he had any Commission from the French King Mr. Bullock I know nothing of that it was late and we did not examine him then but the next day when he came to be examined he said he was of Martenico Mr. Sol. Gen. What did he say his design was Mr. Bullock He said that seeing the Boat at Bulloign he bought it of the Duke of Bulloign and the Duke ask'd him what he would do with her and he said he would fit her up and go and take a Ship at Sea that is upon our Coasts Mr. Phipps We are in your Lordship's Judgment whether we need give any Evidence for we think they have not proved their Indictment For the Indictment sets forth That the French King fitted out the Loyal Clancarty of which Thomas Vaughan was Commander and that very many Frenchmen Subjects of the French King were put on aboard Now the first Witness swears there were no Frenchmen and another swears there was one or two another that they were Forreigners but does not believe they were Frenchmen So there is no proof of that part of the Indictment nor is there any proof that he was Captain of the Loyal Clancarty So that none can say it is the same Vessel mentioned in the Indictment Nor is any Act of Hostility proved for all the Witnesses say that Vaughan never pretended to attack them but run from them So that all they depend on to support the Indictment is to prove that he had a design to burn the Ships at Sheerness Which will not serve their turn for the words of the Indictment are ad predandum super altum mare Now Sheerness is not super altum mare but infra Corpre Comitatus and then not within the Indictment Mr. Cowper The words Ships at Sheerness do not imply that the Ships lay within the Town of Sheerness but off of Sheerness which is altum mare Mr. Phipps Then it is not in your Indictment for that says at Sheerness Mr. Cowper No off of Sheerness Mr. Soll. Gen. It is no contradiction to say the Sea is within part of a County Mr. Phipps The Indictment says at Sheerness Mr. Soll. Gen. Off of Sheerness is the High Sea Mr. Phipps Sheerness is not the Buoy in the Nore Then you must prove he was Captain at this time For the Indictment says Ad tunc fuit Capitaneus Miles L. C. J. Holt. One Overt Act of Adhering to the Kings Enemies is that he put himself as a Souldier on Board the Ship Mr. Phipps You will make one part agree with another that the French King did set out a Ship and gave him a Commission to be Captain of her L. C. J. Holt. The Witnesses have proved he acted as a Captain Mr. Phipps He was taken and sure if he was taken he must have his Commission with him Mr. Soll. Gen. Examine the Marshal he took an Account of him and by direction of Mr. Vaughan himself he entered him as Captain and he enter'd several men in the Ship as Frenchmen by their own direction Mr. Crittenden was call'd Mr. Crittenden have you got your Book in which you made the Entry Mr. Crittenden Yes I have it Mr. Soll. Gen. By whose Order did you enter them Mr. Crittenden By the direction of Captain Vaughan the Prisoner at the Bar. Mr. Cowper How did you know he was a Captain Mr. Crittenden Because he told me he was Captain and I enter'd him as such in my Book Mr. Soll. Gen. Captain of what Mr. Crittenden The Loyal Clancarty Mr. Soll. Gen. Pray read your Entry in your Book Mr. Crittenden Thomas Vaughan Captain Irishman the 14 th of July 1695. and so of all the rest of the Ship 's Crew Mr. Justice Turton Did you write these in the presence of Capt. Vaughan Mr. Crittenden Yes in the same Room where he was Mr. Phipps Did you write it by his direction Mr. Crittenden For his own part by his direction and for the rest by their direction L. C. J. Holt. Take all the circumstances together it is great evidence considering what they were about and what Vessel they had Mr. Crittenden can you tell how many Frenchmen were there Mr. Crittenden I will tell you presently he counts them in his Book there were thirteen Mr. Soll. Gen. Did Captain Vaughan hear any of them bid you enter them as Frenchmen Mr. Crittenden I cannot be positive in that I suppose he did he was in the same Room L. C. J. Holt. Do you expect Witnesses from France to testify where they were Born and Christen'd Mr. Phipps One Witness says there was not one Frenchman there L. C. J. Holt. Not to his Knowledge Mr. Soll. Gen. What do you know of his having a French Commission Mr. Bullock I did not see it Mr. Whitaker Did he own his having any French Commission Mr. Bullock I cannot tell Mr. Justice Turton He own'd himself a Captain Mr. Phipps He might be a Captain in another Ship but not in this Ship they ought to prove he was Captain at that time in that Ship by the French Kings Commission L. C. J. Holt. All the Witnesses say he Acted as a Captain at that time Mr. Cowper He own'd himself the Captain of the Loyal Clancarty Mr. Bar. Powis What can be plainer than that he owned himself Captain Dr. Oldish This seems to me a very strange proof to be built only upon the sayings of these Persons that they were Frenchmen and this to a man who had no Authority to examine them when it might have been easily proved in a regular way in case they had been so they might have been examined before a Magistrate and thereby it would have appeared whether they were French or no. And 't was absolutely necessary
taken before Sir Charles Hedges the 25th of July 1695. L. C. J. Holt. Read it Then Mr. Cawley read the Examination of Thomas Vaughan The 27th of July 1695. Officium Domini contra Thomam Vaughan Capuem ' Navicule the Loyal Clencarty The Examination of Thomas Vaughan late Commander of the Ship the Loyal Clencarty aged about Twenty Six Years taken before the Right Worshipful Sir Charles Hedges Kt. Judge of the High Court of Admiralty of England THis Examinate saith That he was born at Martinico within the Dominons of the French King and is his Subject but refuses to answer of what Parents he was born That he came last from thence about four Years ago as Commander of a ship called the Hare which had been before taken from the English and came in her to Nants in France and hath ever since been in France or cruizing in French Ships That he hath been a Commander ever since he was sixteen years of age and hath Commanded several French Privateers and was Commander of a Privateer of St. Malo called the Granada of 36 Guns which about two Years ago took the Diamond and the Examinate was never till now taken Being asked Whether he ever lived in England or in Ireland he refuses to answer Being asked Whether he knew any thing of the taking and earrying of a Custom-House Boat from the Downs to Bulloigne or Whether he was then in London or did give directions to any Persons or knew of her being carried off he answered nothing but said That if any Person would prove it against him he was present to answer it but saith That in France he heard of her being brought to Bulloigne and he the Examinate bought her at Bulloigne of the Men that carried her away and that she cost him 900 and odd Livres and was then called the Elizabeth and Ann or Michael and Ann but which doth not remember That he the Examinate still hath the said Vessel at Bulloigne That he cannot tell the names of the Persons he bought her of and that took her away but believes they had a Commission That something above three Weeks ago the Examinate went with a Commission from the French King on board a two and twenty Oar-Barge called the Loyal Clencarty then at Bulloigne as Commander thereof and on Munday last was a fortnight was taken by the Coventry Man of War at the Buoy in the Gunfleet And that the Commander of the Coventry took away this Examinate's Commission being asked upon what design he came out with the Barge replied that it was not to take the Air That the Barge formerly belonged to the Lord Danby and was taken by a French Privateer about a Year ago That before he came out he met with two English Seamen upon the Court of Guards at Bulloigne who told the Examinate That they had been taken Prisoners and the Examinate took them in upon Charity and afterwards met another English Man who told the Examinate that he had been taken in Land Service and believes it was before Fort Renoque and the said Person sitting upon a Stone at Bulloigne and not knowing what to do with himself the Examinate took him on Board for Charity and designed to put the said three Persons ashore in England Being asked whether he did not put in a Claim for the said Custom-House Boat by reason of her Captain or Whether the Persons that took her had any Commission from him he the Examinate answered That they that took her must answer for what they did and he must answer for his Actions only Thomas Vaughan Eodem die Capt ' coram me C. Hedges L. C. J. Holt. Mr. Vaughan Have you any more to say Tho. Vaughan It is very hard Circumstances I am under if an English Man was in France under the straights that I am here it would be very hard for him to prove himself an English Man L. C. J. Holt. You have had a very fair Tryal and you shall have Justice be it for you or against you Tho. Vaughan I hope your Lordship will do me Right L. C. J. Holt. Gentlemen of the Jury The Prisoner at the Bar Thomas Vaughan stands Indicted for High-Treason for adhering to the King's Enemies viz That he put himself as a Soldier in the Service of the French King in a Vessel called the Loyal Clencarty with diverse other Persons on Board her that were Subjects to the French King and Enemies to the King of England with a design to burn the King 's and his Subjects Ships and for that purpose went in that Ship That the Prisoner was on Board the Ship and with such a design is proved without all Contradiction by several Witnesses that have been produced that is that the Two and twenty Oar-barge which is the same called the Loyal Clencarty lay hovering about the Buoy in the Nore those Men in the Coventry imagined they had some design of Mischief to the Ships and they made after him with the Coventry It was apprehended by Captain Vaughan and his Crew that the Coventry would be too hard for them and so they did submit and were taken And being Examined on what account he came on our Coasts it is confest by him That he came with a design to burn our Ships You may observe what sort of Men were a Board You have heard it proved to you that Crittenden the Marshal of Dover entered those Persons taken a Board the French Vessel of what Nation and what Quality they were and there were about a Dozen of these French Men for they were entered as such Now if a Subject of England to join with the King's Enemies in pursuit of a design to burn or take any of the King 's or his Subjects Ships that is an adherance to the King's Enemies But it appears not only that Captain Vaughan was in their Company but that he was their Commander which Commanding the Vessel on Board which were French Subjects Enemies of the King and the Kingdom of England is High-Treason and the particular Fact of Treason for which he is Indicted And it appears that he had a Commission from the French King to command this Vessel the Loyal Clencarty Now the Prisoner having this Commission to be Commander of this Vessel though they who served under him were not Native French Men but other Foreigners yet their subjecting themselves to him acting by Virtue or Colour of that Commission makes them to be the French King's Subjects during their continuance in that Service for otherwise all Prizes which they should take would make them to be Pirates which none will pretend to maintain when they acted by a Commission from a Sovereign Prince that was an Enemy And if they shall cruize upon our Coasts with a design to take or destroy any of the King 's or his Subjects Ships they are Enemies though they were the Subjects of a Prince or State in Amity with the King of England But at this time there is no
Nations Ex ore duorum vel trium c. And one Witness is no Witness Sir Ch. Hedges Two Witnesses may be necessary to convict a Man of any capital Crime but then it doth not follow that there must be two Witnesses to prove every particular Fact and Circumstance In this point touching the Place of the Nativity of Thomas Vaughan Was there not sufficient in his own Confession together with the other Proofs on the King's behalf to throw the burden of Proof upon the Prisoner You your selves seem to have been of that Opinion you undertook to prove it and 't is you that have failed in that particular L. C. J. Holt. Our Tryals by Juries are of such Consideration in our Law that we allow their Determination to be the best and most advantagious to the Subject and therefore less Evidence is required than by the Civil-Law So said Fortescue in his Commendation of the Laws of England Dr. Oldys Because the Jury are the Witnesses in reality according to the Laws of England being presumed to be ex vicineto but when it is on the High and Open Seas they are not then presumed to be ex vicineto and so must be instructed according to the Rules of the Civil-Law by Witnesses Mr. Bar. Powis This is not a Tryal by the Civil-Law for that Statute was made to avoid the Niceties of your Law Mr. J. Eyers He is tryed with like Evidence as in other Cases of High-Treason Dr. Oldys No the late Act requires two Witnesses Cl. of Arr. Make Proclamation of silence Cryer All manner of Persons are Commanded to keep silence while Judgment is giving upon pain of Imprisonment And then Judgment was given according as the Law directs in Cases of High-Treason An Abstract of the Tryal of John Murphey for High-Treason c. John Murphey being Indicted for High-Treason the Twelve Gentlemen following were sworn upon the Jury for his Tryal Nathaniel Long John Eure John Child Thomas Clarke Thomas Batemâ—n Henry Trye John Morewood Nicholas Greenway Samuel Jackson John Hall John Collumn Roger Mott. Then Mr. Whitaker one of the King's Councel opened the Indictment after which Dr. Nuton one of the King's Advocates spoke as follows JOhn Murphey of Cork in the Kingdom of Ireland born a Subject of this Kingdom and therefore owing Allegiance and Service to his King and Country stands Indicted for Adhering to Aiding and Comforting His Majesties Enemies and likewise for levying of War in Assisting the French King the Greatest the most Inveterate and the most Dangerous Enemy of our King our Nation our Religion and the common Liberty of Europe in an Unjust Cruel and long War against his King and Country that King who Heads the League against the common Oppressor of Christendom and the Country whose Forces and Reputation support that League and this with a design only to rob and spoil which is the Meanest part of the War but withal the most Mischievous to the Innocent and Trading Subjects being on Board a French Privateer called The Nostre Dame de bon Novelle and Fighting in her for though the coming with such a design and the being in a Vessel under a French Commission was Criminal and must have met with since it deserved the same Punishment yet this was put in Execution too by the the Taking the Joseph and Isaac of London on the Twentieth of March last to the Terrour and the Impoverishment of many of his Fellow-Subjects which justifies their Complaint and this publick Prosecution of the State for the bringing him to Justice And then the Witnesses for the King were called and being Examined together with several others on the behalf of the Prisoner it appeared to the Jury that the said Murphey being an Irish Man and his Majesties Subject did Traiterously adhere unto and assist the French King in a French Ship called The Nostre Dame de bon Novelle and in Taking and Securing therewith a Ship called The Joseph and Isaac of London belonging to English Subjects And thereupon he was found Guilty and received Sentence of Death as in Cases of High-Treason THE COMMISSION OF Capt.
