<h2> CHAPTER XII. A NEWSPAPER PARAGRAPH. </h2>
<p>Extracted from the Hobart Town Courier of the 12th November, 1827:—</p>
<p>"The examination of the prisoners who were concerned in the attempt upon
the Malabar was concluded on Tuesday last. The four ringleaders, Dawes
Gabbett, Vetch, and Sanders, were condemned to death; but we understand
that, by the clemency of his Excellency the Governor, their sentence has
been commuted to six years at the penal settlement of Macquarie Harbour."</p>
