StrangeBayPirate Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I bought this paper off ebay cause of the story it tells. The print is small and it's way out of date ... but the story was that of a pirate/privateer so it interested me. 1813 newspaper w Trial of PIRATE & sentence of DEATH http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ADME:B:EF:US:11 Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum viditur
Silver Steele Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I found a little bit of info for ya on John Wiltshire. Seems he was executed July 30, 1813 at Execution Dock. http://www.pastfinders.net/johnwiltshire.htm
StrangeBayPirate Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Thank ya kindly thar Silver Steele. Seems Mr.Wiltshire was telling the truth at his trial, only wanted to get home to his bride to be. They hung him anyway. Poor bloke never caught a break. Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum viditur
