PUNISHING REBELS.

One of the problems tobe dealt with- in

South Africa and especially in Cape Colony id to bring to trial and mete out punishment to the rebels. Whatever may be the wrongdoing of the Transvaal and Free State Boers in levying war

against Great Britain, their case may be viewed with leniency comparedwith those British subjects in Cape Colony and Natal who have taken up arms against their lawful sovereign. They have been guilty of high treason to which the law of most countries has affixed the

penalty of death.

At this distance and in view of the very

strong feeling which is known to exist in

South Africa some might have feared that thc law would be adniinst red

with the utmost rigor especially in the case of thos: prisoners who have been brought to trial while the war was

actually in progress. It was therefore with

great interest that we read in the Cape Argus, published at Cape Town, the trial

conviction and sentence in that/city in April last of a. number of rebels. i

Tae prisoners in this case were 36

Dutch Colonial farmers, who were cap- tured after battle by Col. Pitchers

force at Sunnyside, where some o_f our Canadian troops were first engaged and assisted in the captnre. They were tried

before Acting Chief Justice Buchanan, the case for the Crown being conducted by Attorney General Solomon. The prisoners

were at first represented by counsel in the person of Mr. Burton and Mr. De- Villers, who desired a postponement on the ground that it was impossible for the

prisoners to obtain a. fair trial in the pre-

sent excited state of public feeling and the race hostility that existed. They also asked for delay to bring witnesses for the

defence, but the witnesses were mostly persons then sei-vinsz in the Boer armies, and for such a safe conduct was asked and also a guarantee that they would not be

assaulted. The Court refused the applica- tions-and the prisoners were left unde-

fended. They lost nothing by this as the sequel will show.

The prisoners refused to plead and a.

plea of “not guilty” was entered on their behalf. This crime was easily and con-

clusively proved against them. They had invited a Free State commando to their district and had then taken taken up arms themselves, dispossessed l0yal citizens and had fought for hours against Her-Ma,ieety's troops until they. were surrounded and ¢lPtured. Thejury after seven minutes deliberation found a unanimous verdict of “guiltv” against all the prisoners.

In passing sentence the Court reminded

the prisoners that under the ,law they

were liable to be pu nishedwith death,but.

he had a discretionary; power and would

awarded six months imprisonment; to six

others of between 18 and 21 years of age

two who were ring-leaders he sentenced to tive years and the remainder to three years imprisonment, These sentences ap- pear to be remarkably lenient. Certainly they are calculated to relieve any fears that the rebels are to be punished with undue severity.

They have had good times on the Mag-

dalen Islands this spring-better than several seasons. Philip G-audin,a mer- chant of House Harbor, Magdalena, was in the city yesterday. He says the lob- ster catch this year is better than before. The crustaceans are larger and more plentiful than usual. Why this is the case cannot be stated exactly. The theory of some is that the cold weather hal- drawn the lobsters into shallower and warmer water.

“We had a great catch of seals at the

Magdalena," Mr. Gaudin said. “From 16,000 to 18,000 were taken from the shore. I have been on the island for a quarter of a century, bntl never remember such a catch before in all that time. Of course, when the people went out in sziiling ves- sels they caught more, but that plan is given up now, and the seals I speak of were taken by men who walked out on the ice from the shore. _ S

“How much would that catch be worth?

Why the seals would bring about on dollar apiece, but to be on the safe side I would estimate the whole seal catch of the islands at $15,000, quite alittle god- send. Our proportion is about 6,500, so that the seals represent more than $2 to each man, woman and child on the is- lands."

“What have thc other Esheries been

like?"

“\Vell, the herring catch was excel-

lent. Large hauls were made. These herring are used for food and for lobster and mackerel bait. What we want now is a. good price for mackerel, but thereare ,some indications that mackerel will be lower than last year.”

Mr. Gaudin leaves for home by the

Amelia, sailing from Picton to-day.-Halt fax`News.
