Pirates on the Buxton crew and the murder of Beard
Dublin reports the Buxton crew and Captain Beard involved in piracy. The Boatswain allegedly killed Beard, head severed, crew members armed with pistols to seize the captain. The ship later landed near an African coast where Negrors and valuables were sold, ending with a Nassau schooner retrieving the fugitives. Court action and hospital governance notices follow in Dublin.
