[Footnote 17: This play was by Charles Johnson--not the author of the Lives of the Pirates. It was acted at Drury Lane in 1713. John Dennis wrote to the Master of the Revels to expostulate with him for having licensed this play, which he considered as a prostitution of the stage, an encouragement to villainy, and a disgrace to the theatre.]

[Footnote 18: We might be led to suppose that we were reading of the proceedings of the Belgians in the Congo Free State.]

[Footnote 41: This is probably the second man shot when crouching against the wall mentioned by Andrews.]

[Footnote 42: Neither of these charges was investigated by the Commissioners, as beyond the scope of their inquiry, which was confined to the actual “massacre.”]

[Footnote 43: Both Dr. Magrath and Lieut. Avelyn deny in their depositions that on this occasion Captain Shortland was intoxicated.]

[Footnote 44: “He went down with the military with both hands in his breeches pockets.” Evidence of James Carley, turnkey.]

[Footnote 45: This contravenes the statement made by the prisoners in their memorandum.]

[Footnote 46: Captain Shortland pretended that the soldiers charged without his having given the command--all evidence to the contrary. The Commissioners did not believe him.]

[Footnote 47: David Spencer Warren, one of the witnesses, said: “Captain Shortland, when he told them to fire, was in front, one soldier beside him. They might have fired at his side or over him without hurting him.”]

[Footnote 48: This disposes of the allegation of the prisoners that Shortland had placed the soldiers there before the ringing of the alarm bell.]

[Footnote 49: This disposes of the charge made by the prisoners that no proper notice was given them that they were to turn in.]

[Footnote 50: The stone-throwing did not take place in the outer yard or Market Square where these two warders were, but later in the inner yard.]

[Footnote 51: This is disingenuous. He says nothing about the forcible breaking open of the gate.]

[Footnote 52: This was James Greenlaw.]

[Footnote 53: This is contrary to the general evidence, and contrary to his subsequent admission.]
