ailitia, pleaded not guilty to the charge. - limes Sinclair, pobee-officer, was stationed in the Candlemaker-rnwon the night of the 2d of August ; found a man lying on his back at the corner of the square in Merchant-street.' Witness called for histwo neighbouring watchmen, and a young man came up, and upon looking in the man's face, he said he was a Mr. Boyd, who lived in the Candlemaker.row.— They carried him to the watch-house, and sent for a urgeon. Alexander Black, apothecary in Edinburgh, was called to inspect the body in the watch-house; he found an incision about three inches below' the left arm r nceived the wound to be the cause of death. • Andrew Inglis, surgeon, made out a report, upon inspecilpg the body of the deceased, along with Dr. Farquharson—report read ; found no external marks, except a wound on the left side, about an inch and a ball in width ; had passed through the lungs and heart, and occasioned the death of the deceased ; the - wound was in the back part of the side, about an inch behind the left arm. Witness knows the pri soner, Symons ; visited him the day after he was ap prehended ; there were marks of at least four blows On his head, and he also complained of bruises on the body ; but as the witness did not afterwards attend him, does not know what symptoms appeared after- wards. Has no doubt that such blow's and bruises may have stunned Symons, and made him insensible. Captain Robert Watson, Edinburgh militia. .The prisoner supped at the witness's house in Buccleuch place on the evening of the 2d- of August ; left it about a quarter before 12 o'clock ; there were several gentlemen and ladies present, and prisoner was per reedy sober ; he bore an excellent character in the rc iiiment, and was not at all given to quarrelling, and is a very sober man. Lieut. Ronaldson, Edinburgh militia, supped with the prisoner at Captain Watson's house on the night of the 2d of August ; there were Paymaster Paterson, Captain Watson, and some others -present • the pri soner. and the witness left Captain Watson's house 20 iminotes before 12 o'clock ; proceeded down Bristo street and Candlemaker-row ; when opposite Pater son's Inn, observed three men standing at the door, one of whom darted across the street and struck Mr. Symons, he thinks with a stick, but, owing to the darkness of the night, cannot say, Witness and Sy- Mons turned round and asked him what he meant ? He made no reply, but seized Mr. Symons by the neckcloth. Mr. Symons told him if he did not let go Isis held, he would run hirnthrough thebody ; but he did not strike him. The man then struck Mr. Symons iwith his fist several times upon the head. Witness then went up to his two companions and desired them : ' maker-row in search of hitn ; witness went down, and saw a light,;' and, upon thing forward, found it was the watchmen, with Boyd/slimly lyingnn the gtotinci; witness never spoke to either of the officers, neither did he see any of them strike. The night; was ex ceedingly dark, so as to be Impossible to have seen them from the entry to Brown's-square. -Ann Clark, daughter of Archibald Clark, chair man, residing in Brown's-square, knew the deceased John Boyd.; saw him, on the evening of the 2d A,t gust, coming through the arch from lirown's.square to the Candlemaker-row ; this was about twelve o'clock. Saw two officers coming down the Candle ' maker-row, and they came-against him, or he against them. Either Boyd or they said, Hold eff, you.— Boyd then said, There's a challenge for you, and struck one of them. One of the officers said, Never mind him, he is drunk ; and they passed on. Boyd squinted, as if to go home ; but turned, and followed them. Witness went down towards Merchant-street, and saw Boys lying on the ground ; he was attempt ing to rise, and was struck down by one of the officers, who then went away. Both officers were there ; she was the breadth °Ellie Candlemaker-row from them. -to take away their friend without farther scuffle ' • his companions immediately came forward and took him off at that time. Mr. Synictas then went to Pater. son's Inn, in order to ascertain their names, but Pa ' terson's people would not open the door. Mr. Sy mons and witness then walked d.wn the Candlcma. lteT-row, and a man came up tmd said, You have i l laan insulted by some blackguards. Mr. Symons said yes, you are the blackguard. The man said, no, and to convince you I am not, ..I will take you by the arm and e,cort you as far as the West-bow, where I lodge. Mr. Symons de s ired him to go about his bu siness; but he persisted, in accompanying him, and took the first opportunity of knocking . Mr. Symons down with his fist. They had walked a good way from Mer Chant-street almost to the entry into the Cowgate. John Davidson, upholsterer—recollects, in com pany with David Hunter, of having met the deceased and Paton, on the 2d of August, about 12 o'clock at night, betwixt Brown's-square entry and Mrs. Pater son's inn. Huntep offered Mr. Boyd a glass of spirits, and they knocked at Mrs. Paterson's door. She asked who was there ? Answer was made, Mr. Boyd Mrs. Paterson opened the door, but would pot admit them. It was a vet) , dark and rainy night. Paton and Hunter were under the witness's umbrella. Two officers came down the row ; first word the witness heard was one of the officers saying, he had a good mind to run 'him through the body. Witness went forward to one of the officers, and said, If any thing had been done, not to nuke any quarrel upon the street. Officer gave a civil answer, and seemed to be disposed to bt. peaceable ; but Boyd darted past, and gave one of them a severe blow. The officers, being linked in one another's arms, separated ; saw no sword drawn ; and as the night was dark, and a threat made to draw a sword, witness went off.— Boyd appeared to have been drinking,- and saw no provocation given by the officers. Boyd and Paton had been differing about some cloth, which Boyd had swinging in his hand, that might have probably touched the officers. Boyd had no stick. The night was so dark it was hardly possible '.o see across the . street. Neither of the officers desired the witness to take away Boyd. David Hunter, hookbinder—recollect;, in compa ny with John Davidson, of meeting Boyd in the Can dlemaker-row on the evening of the 2d August, be. tween 11 and 12 o'clock. Boyd asked the witness to take a glass, but upon knocking at Mrs. Paterson's door, she would not admit them. Witness went away, expecting they were to follow him in search of an - other house ;saw two military officers pass him down • Mr; SYmons,un rucoverinz himself, immediately ran ' up the street after him. -Witness remained on the spot ; • but find . ng Mr. Symons did not return be proceeded up the street, and met Mr. Symons coming running - down. They then ran across the Orasmarket, and stopped in 'the West Bow, where Mr. Symons took the witness *shy The arm ; they then proceeded towards the Castle ; "SyMOtis said he was afraid one of his jaw-bones was broken. On arriving at the Castle-gate, Symons got ~lrlry sick, and vomited all the Way to his room. Wit tiness left him after seeing him to bed. Before Mr. Symons pursued the man, he did not see him draw his sabre ; when he returned he told the witness he -had drawn his sabre, and did not know what he had done. The witness saw only one man strike • the man who same up the second time had no stic k,i and it was near the entry to the Cowgate where he struck )(r. Symons. (Cross-examined.) The man who truck the first time appeared to be the same man who ratruck the seconJ time. Mr. Symons used no violence I OP the man who came up the second time, and sail ..Aktithing to provoke him, merely declining his corn , ipany, and desiring him to go away. Mr. Symons's • ;breeches were marked with what appeared to the witness the marks of feet ; .witness and.Symons were perfectlysober ; has lawn five years in the corps, and Symons bears the best of characters in the regiment ;- . the witness never knew him quarrel. Robert Paton, painter in Edinburgh, was acquaint , sid w:th the deceased John Boyd ; was in his house on the evening of the 2d August ; witness and he went out a little past six o'clock after having drank tea with Boyd and his two sisters. After leaving his house, they walked about the town, and came to the hou4 of Mrs. Livingston, in the Candlemaker-row, • which they left about ten o'clock ; they then went to the'house of Mrs. Taylor, where the deceased sent ' :for half a mutchkin of whisky, which was drank by Mrs. Taylor, her two daughters, Boyd, and the wit ' suss . ; left Mrs. Taylor's about half past ten, at which time Boyd was hearty, but not drunk ; went up the Candlemaker-row, and called at Archibald Clark's, • chairman,bnt could not get.in ; they then went down 'and knocked at the door of Sutherland, a barber, but of ould not get in; witness advised Boyd to go home; Othey - -ere then acc.ikted by a man Who knew Boyd, Paterson' the row, and saw nothing more ; was not two mi nutes in Boyd's company ; left him standing at Mrs. Paterson's door. Does not think any one standing in. Brown's-square entry could have seen them, the night was so dark. The following . witnesses were then examined on the part of the prisoner: James Johnston, shoemaker, in Edinburgh, tom. then called. He deponed as to a number of circti:..- stances which tended to spew, that the deceased was rather disposed to be quarrelsome. In particular he mentioned one occasion on which he thought the de ceased intended to rob him of his money ; and on the King's birth-day last, he came into a tap-roem, along with some others, where the witness and wn other party were sitting, into whose box he for t ed himself, leaving his own party ; that on this occa:,on witness refused to admit him in the box on acconnt of the above attempt to take his money, in come quence of which he offered to fight any person in(!lie room on the Calton-hill, and wrote down his nSme by way of-challenge. He was afterwards turned out, and broke several panes of glass in the winduvii of the tap-room, from the outside. James Johnston, engraver, in Edinburgh, with whom the deceased served his apprenticeship, stated, that he was about 18 or 19 years of age when he discharged his indenture, which he did in Aprii.or May last, being several months before the legal tctm had expired. Witness did this in consequence of some improper conduct on the part of the clecered, and he mentioned several instances of that natttre, which occurred after he was discharged; from which it was evident, that he was of a very violent temper ; and frequently . disposed to be quarrelsome, without any reasonable cause. . Captain Alexander, of the Edinburgh militia, saw Mr. Symonds on the morning after he received the wound ; he was then complaining very much, and hardly able to speak. He said he had scot for Co lonel Inglis, as be wished to see him to tell jet the whole matter happened, and he desired wiseesi also to call upon him. He accordingly called,botlbe Colonel said, as the civil power h4d lej this this 4 in. terfered, he did not think it necessary to interfere— Witness was the first who mentioned to Mr. Symonds that Boyd was dead of the wound, on learning which, he was very much agitated, and said that he was ex tremely sorry that he had been the cause of another person's death ; but he was compelled to do it in .. self-defence, having been three times knocked down by the deceased. i t All the witnesses, and a number of others, aintang whom were Lieutenant Colonel Wattchope, (Lieute nant Colonel James Inglis, and Sir John Hope, gave the prisoner a most ample and unqualified character for sobriety, regularity of conduct, and humanity t— ,and that on no occasion he had ever shewn a disposi lion ;a quarrel, but on the contrary was most eitcem plary for quietness and peaceable behaviour. ' . Loup JUSTICE Cuss, in* ifery,able and eloquent ~ charge to the Jury, adverted to the importance of the -etase now left to their decision. It had been the sub ject of great discussion oux of doors.; • and, no doubt, !Alley had heard many incorrect and false represeetta -I.taons of the facts. These, ho w ever, they must now i lay out of mind, and come to a deciiion upon the evi .dence which they had just heard. There was not the least doubt, his Lordship observed, but the life ?,of a fellow subjecthid been taken away. and the cir cumstance could not fail to interest. Tbk case spews us, that while walking the public streets ire may Meet with our death, or something very near it. It appears . . 'here, that the deceased wai to a certain degree .... =Pic and any. •Maa :vshptors into' till ,ttlstVist this situation, is gailJt of a breach of ptililtc police, and liable tO be pfiniihed . .

On' the other hand,. a person peaceably visiting his friends, and &vim and receiving acts of hospitality, which is certainly the great end for which* societies are formed, is entfilid to consider himself also under the protection of Ns law, whether from people drunk or sober,' to go andi return in safety. Qf the melancholy accident b y which Mr. Boyd lost his life, he must. now speak, and . he most 'ay, that there appeared full and legal evi.' dence that he met with his death from the prisoner at the b2r. The evidence on this case was as full as . .a c. 7 .i due l* can often be obtained in cases of murder, where it sel dom happens that any person has witnessed the in flicting the wound, or giving the mortal blow. But this was sufficiently plain here : yet this did not ex-1 bIID haust the case. The question still re s olved itself into !
