3* Because captain Globensky always protected the revolters and to proove this assertion, I will hasten to support and corroborate ail that which has been said in Mr Inglis’s déclaration, concerning the imprisonment of Mr M. Seers, and the positive recommandation made by captain Globensky, which was not to use arms, and I know perfectly this fact, for I was the one that went with M. Inglis to exécute the order to make M. Seers a prisonner.
Another fact of protection towards the patriots by Captain Globensky of which I was a witness is the foUowing : Several volunteers having expressed the désire to attack a group of rebels, Captain Globensky opposed himself energically to it saying, that he forbade his Company to ki.l thèse unfortunate ; but captain B. who was incorporated with the volunteers rebelled him- self and appealed to those who sympathised with him and for a moment some of the volunteers left the ranks to fight the rebels. They fired on them at the great discontent of our captain, but he was happy to verify that this badly directed discharge had not reached any of the rebels who as soon took flight and disap- pearèd.
