He gave the constable a punch just where the latter kept his lunch. The constable said 'Well! Well! Well! and marched him to a dungeon cell. At Vine Street Station out it came Lord Belpher was the culprit's name.
To the great confusion of Jones, Partridge was now hurried before the king; who heard the accusation, and likewise the culprit's defence, which was indeed very trifling; for the poor fellow was confounded by the plain evidence which appeared against him, and had very little to say for himself.
"Pretty wound; ranges" he gave up the effort to describe it. "You'll see it." Another rest. "You see this matter has been kept quiet so far. I don't want any one else to know anything about it." He sighed audibly and looked as though he had gone to sleep, but whispered again, with his eyes closed "'specially on culprit's own account."
Tibbets was repeatedly interrupted, in the course of his testimony, by the culprit's mother, a furious old beldame, with an insufferable tongue, and who, in fact, was several times kept, with some difficulty, from flying at him tooth and nail.
Hawes, responsible for this man's life and well-being, which are here attacked contrary to the custom of all her majesty's prisons, and contrary to the intention of all punishment, which is for the culprit's good, not for his injury either in soul or body.

Lady Lillycraft has given repeated audiences to the culprit's weeping wife, at the Hall door; and the servant maids have stolen out, to confer with the gipsy women under the trees.

What were the miserable man's feelings when he heard his torture prepared thus, with such coolness and deliberation, we leave you to imagine. A momentary pause then occurred, during which every one present looked on with mixed sensations of eagerness and dread. "One!" A whizzing noise.

Accordingly, he directed the criminal to be carried on shore to the tents, and having himself followed, with the chiefs and other Otaheitans, he ordered the guard out, under arms, and commanded the man to be tied up to a post. Otoo again solicited the culprit's release, and in this he was seconded by his sister, but in vain.
The bandage was now removed from the culprit's eyes, but to the horror and astonishment of the students they found that he was dead. Such a case may be due to heart-failure from fear or excitement. It is not uncommon that death ensues from the shock alone following blows that cause no visible injury, but administered to vital parts.
