The Mignonette Murder.
COMMITTAL FOR TRIAL. PUBLIC SYMPATHY EXPRESSED. [Reuter’s Telegrams] . London, September 19. The captain and mate of the yacht Mignonette have been committed for trial, bail being accepted in each case. The seaman who was rescued with them has been acquitted. Much sympathy is manifested for the accused by the public. The yacht Mignonette was the property of Henry Want, and was swamped by a heavy sea. The boat, with the occupants, drifted about for twenty-four days, with but little provisions and scarcely any water. The Montezuma, which picked up the survivors, conveyed them to Falmouth.
