This is photo was sent to us last year by a guest. With permission to share it. Here, Dusty is telling the story of Halifax's first recorded murder and subsequent public hanging and of course the ghost story that goes with it.

Here also is the transcript from the trial in August 1749 with all of its arcane and flowery legal language, in one long run on sentence. Cut and pasted from the website linked at the bottom.

Here is an excerpt from the official court indictment published in 1749, in all its archaic language glory

"The King against Peter Cartelf.

The Town of Halifax in Nova Scotia, to witt,

The Jurors for the Lord our King upon their oath do
present that Peter Cartell of sd. town of Halifax, settler, not having the fear of God before his eyes, but moved and seduced by the Instigation of the Devil on the twenty-sixth day of August and in the twenty-third year of the reign of the sd. Lord the King about five of the clock in the after-noon of the same day at Halifax afforsd. with Torce and Arms in and upon one Abraham Goodsides, mariner ia the Peace of God and of the Lord our King then and there being, made an assault and most traytorously, feloniously and voluntarily and of his malice forethought, struck and wounded the said Abraham Goodsides at Halifax afforsd. with a knife the value of twopence, which the said Peter Cartell then and there had and held in his hand and feloniously and of his malice forethought gave the sd. Abraham Goodsides one mortal wound with the knife afforsd, and upon the left side under the lays of the Depth of four inches and of the Breadth of one inch, of which said mortal wound the sd. Abraham Goodsides instantly dyed, and so the said jurors and on their oath say that the said Peter Cartell the Day and Year afforsd. the said Abraham Goodsides in manner and form afforsd. of forethought malice most traytorously, feloniously and voluntarily killed and murdered against the Peace, Crown and Dignity of our Sovereign Lord the King and contrary to the statute in that ease made and provided. In witness whereof the sd. jurors have hereunto sett their hands this thirty-first day of August in the Year of otir Lord one thousand seven hundred and forty-nine."
