BABE THE PIRATE
We hear from good authority that this man, who was convicted of murder at sea and piracy, and who was reprieved and finally pardoned, was recently arrested in Liverpool for a violent assault on the mate of one of our packet ships. It seems he went on board and desired to ship as a hand. But the mate recognising him, refused to take him, giving as his reason, Babe's well known character. Upon this Babe knocked the mate down, for which he was arrested and confined in prison.—N. Y. Cour.
