On Monday at half past ten the Court assembled and proceeded to the trial of John Green (the black man stated to have been last week apprehended) for Rape, committed on the morning of the 17th instant near Parramatta. The prosecutrix was called, and gave a clear and candid evidence, which left not a shadow of doubt of the prisoner's guilt; the brutal and inhuman assault, aggravated, if it be possible, by an infamous attempt to deprive her of existence by drawing a knife across her throat, which in the act of resistance she received on her right hand, and cutting a handkerchief she held in it through many of the folds. Thomas Allen deposed to having seen prisoner at the bar near the residence of the prosecutrix within a short period of the time by her deposed to; and being strictly cross-examined by the JUDGE ADVOCATE as to his positively identifying the prisoner's person, the deponent declared he was no stranger to him, for every article of his dress not only corresponded with the cloathing he now wore, but conceiving that he was still a prisoner confined for misdemeanour to the Parramatta gaol gang, he concluded that he had been turned out to work earlier than usual, it being then but a little past five in the morning: - he further deposed, that when the prisoner perceived that he was noticed by him, he threw himself into a trench or ditch, and stooping, ran off as fast he possibly could. Patrick Burn, a private belonging to the New South Wales Corps, deposed that on Monday the 12th instant he walked towards Mr Cox's farm with a design of shooting wildfowl, when meeting one of the farm servants he was told that the offender who had committed the recent atrocities about Parramatta was then near at hand, for he had just been seen. That he, the deponent, proceeded onward, and at length beheld the prisoner among some trees, and immediately summoned him to surrender; but he, stooping and taking up an axe, with composure and disdain replied, that he was ready for him; and to approach him would be instant death; that the deponent then shewed him his firelock, cocked and presented it, assuring him at the same time that if he did not instantly lay down the axe he should certainly shoot him, as he had come out purposely in quest of him; that the prisoner then appeared somewhat more attentive to the command, and urged his own pre-determination to further render himself to a Magistrate, for that he might as well die here as any where else; but that finding him, the deponent, resolute in his purpose, he at length submitted, and walked in towards the above settlement at a proper distance before him. Here, the prosecution closed; and the prisoner being called on for his defence, denied the charge point blank. The Court cleared for a moment, and reopened, the evidence being too pointed and conculsive to admit of any doubt favourable to the culprit ... On Tuesday the prisoner received his Death Warrant with becoming submission to the decree of offended Justice - and Wednesday morning was appointed for the sentence to be carried into EXECUTION. At ten o'clock the New South Wales Corps paraded and marched off. The malefactor was delivered over to the Provost Marshall, and in a cart conveyed to the spot at which he was to atone for his offences by an ignominious end, and by his awful example to inspire a just abhorrence to crime. Attended in his latest movements by the Clergyman, de descended from the vehicle, kneeled, and received with some visible emotion the last offerings of piety. At about half past ten he re-ascended the cart, upon which a temporary platform had been erected; and with decent composure surveying the spectators on either side, selected a youth from among the crowd, whom he named, and solicited permission to take leave of, which was humanely permitted. The young man being called upon approached with reluctance, but much to his credit accepted the salutation, accompanied with the blessing of a dying criminal, lest a refusal might shake his fervour, or embitter the few remaining moments that were allowed him. Yielding to his fate, while the work of death was under preparation he took leave of the populace in a short harangue, which he concluded with a fervent hope that his untimely end would operate to others as a wholesome warning against a life of vice and dissipation p and then departed for an unknown region. The morning of his execution he had shed tears abundantly; expressed much concern at his condition, and lamented that he could no more indulge a hope of ever beholding his ancient parents more; he declared the province of Pennsylvania to be that of his nativity; but that vicissitude induced him to quit his home, and afterwards fiving aloose to vicce, he was apprehended and convicted in Great Britain, and from there transported hither in the Coromandel."

The young man being called upon approached with reluctance, but much to his credit accepted the salutation, accompanied with the blessing of a dying criminal, lest a refusal might shake his fervour, or embitter the few remaining moments that were allowed him. Yielding to his fate, while the work of death was under preparation he took leave of the populace in a short harangue, which he concluded with a fervent hope that his untimely end would operate to others as a wholesome warning against a life of vice and dissipation p and then departed for an unknown region. The morning of his execution he had shed tears abundantly; expressed much concern at his condition, and lamented that he could no more indulge a hope of ever beholding his ancient parents more; he declared the province of Pennsylvania to be that of his nativity; but that vicissitude induced him to quit his home, and afterwards fiving aloose to vicce, he was apprehended and convicted in Great Britain, and from there transported hither in the Coromandel."
