ABSTRACT

Our adventurer remained in prison till the next sessions 151 when he was tried for the felony with his comrades. The rest were convicted and sentenced to be transported to Botany Bay. 152 But Le Noir had not / the honour of extending his political mission to so distant a region; for as no fact appeared to implicate him in the actual commission of the crime, though many circumstances were against him, and his character was proved to be very bad, he was acquitted.
