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
