We, the undersigned commissioners, appoint ed behaKof our respective governments, to in quire into and report upon, the unfortunate oc currence of the 6lh April inst. at Dartmoor prison ; having carefully perused the proceed ings of the several courts , of enquiry instituted immediately ufter that event, by"the orders ofSir.lohn T. Duckworth and Major General Brown, respectively, us well us the depositions taken al the corroner’s inquest upon the bodies of th- prisoners, who lost, their lives upon thatt melancholy occasion:; upon which inquest the jury found a verdict pf justifiable homicide ; proceeded immediately to fhe examination up on oath in the presence^f-one or more of the magistrates of the vicinity, of all the witnesses, both American and English, who offered them selves for that purpose ; or who could be disco vered as likely to afford any material informa tion on the subject, as well those who had beea previously examined before the corroner, as otherwise, Jo the numbe.rin the whole of about eighty. We further proceeded to a minute ex amination of the prisons, for the purpose of clearing up some points which upon the evidenc* alone were scarcely intelligible ; obtaining from the prisoners, and from the officers of the depot all the accessary assistance and explanation: and premising, that we have been from ncces- siiy compelled to draw-many of our conclusi ons from statements and evidence highly con tradictory, we do now make upon the whole proceedings the following report!— During the period which has elapsed Since the arrival in this country of the account of the ratification of the treaty cf Ghent, an increas ed degree of restlessness and impatience of con finement appears to have prevailed among'lhe American prisoners at Dartmoor, which, though, not exhibited in the shape of any violent ox-' —,,-n.rtwn principally indicated by threat* two days previous to the events the subject or this inquiry, a large body of the prisoners rush ed into the ".Market square, from whenc*, by th# regulations of the prison, the are excluded, de manding bread, instead- of bisenit, which had on that day been issued by the officers of the de pot ; their demands however having been thea almost immediately complied with, they return ed to their own yards, and the employment of force on that occasion became unnecessary. On the evening of the 6th, about 6 o'clock.' it was clearly proved to us, that a breach op whole had been made in one of the prison walls, sufficient for a full sized man to pass; and that others had been commenced in the course of the day near the same spot, though never completed. That a number of the prisoners were over the railing erected to prevent them from commu nicating with the ccnlinels on the walls, which, was of course forbidden by the regulations of the prison, and that in the space between the railing and those walls they were tear ing up pieces of turf, and wantonly pelting each other, in a noisy aud disorderly manner. That a much more considerable number of the prisoners were collected together at that time in one of their yards near the plaee where tli£ breach was effected, and that although such collection of prisoner* was not nnusual at other times (.the Gambling Tables being common!/ kept in that part of the yard) yet. when con nected with the circumstances .of the breach* and the time of the day, which was after Iba hour the signal for the prisoners to retire t* heir respective prisons bad ceased to sound* t became a natural and just ground of alarm t* those who had charge of the deput. , ■ It was also in evidence, that in tha building formerly the petty officers’ prison, bat now th« guard barrack, which stands iu the yard- tw which the hole in the wall would serve as ai communication, a part of the'arms of the guard who were off duty, were usually kept in th* racks, and though there was no evidence that this was in any respect the motive - which In duced the prisoners to make the opening in th* wall, or even that they were ever acquainted with the fact, it naturally became at least • further cause of suspicion and alarm, and aa additional reason for precaution. Upon these grounds Cant. Shortland appear* te us to have been justified in giving the order, which about this time he seem# to have given* to sound the alarm bell, the-usual signal for collecting the officers ®f the depot and potting the military on the alert. However reasonable and justifiable this wa* as a measure of precaution, theeffecls produced thereby in the prisons, but which cooldnot bar* been intended, were most unfortunate, and deeply to be regretted. A considerable num ber of the prisoners in the yards where no dis turbances existed before, and who wer* either already within their respective prisons, or qui etly returning as usual towards them, immedi ately npon the sound of the bell rushed back from curiosity (as it appears) towards tho gates, where, by that time, the croud hod assembled, and many who worts at the.time absent from their yards, were alio, from the plaft of the pri son, compelled in order to reach their own ho?'.- ’£ mes, to past by the same spot, and thus thaC which was merely a measure of pr^antion, i» w its operation incteucd the crii it wu inUndai J* to prevent. w l
