A case came on for trial on Monday, which seems un paralleled by the recent atrocity in Hertfordshire. The accused, Thomas Hay, resided in a solitary m inner in a house in King-street, Leith; no livinte creature inhabited with him. Having fitted up his inner room as a human slaughter-house, lie pet out one morning. in July last in quest of his intended victim, whom lie decoyed to the place of sacrifice, and against whom be aimed the mur derous ',low. The prisoner was prosecuted under the Scotch law (that of Lord Ellenborough not extending to Scotland), and stood charged with assaulting., stabbing, and %%funding, with a lethel weapon, Mr. IVillian► Moffat, to the ellosion of his blood, and with intent to slay kin►, on the ISth of July last, at the prisoner's own hoose in King-street, Leith. At a former diet, in consequence of a statement by the panel's Counsel, that they considered him in an unfit state of mind to be put upon his trial, the Court appointed a Committee of 31ed;e.il Gentlemen to inquire into the state of the prisoner's mind. Their report nas now• delivered in, and it stated that they considered the panel to be of sane mind. The Indictment having been read, the panel pleaded, " I am not guilty, my Lord ; but Mr. Wilson is guilty of tms me out of my bed this morning, and bringing we here without my breakfast, a state, I presume, which no one present is in besides myself." The LORD JUSTICE CLERK told the panel that his man ner bore evident signs of being affected and prem.ediated ; and he would just caution him to look more n irrowly after his own interests, sod to remember the awful situation in which he stood. His plea of " Not Guilty" should be recorded. Dlr. Di lINZIES, for the panel, delivered in a written dr fence, which stated that the panel pleaded not guilty, be cause at the time the crime was alleged to have been com mitted, his mind was so distempered as to render him irre sponsible for any of his actions. The evidence of Mr. Wm. Moffat, a Wright, at Leith (his intended victim) chewed, however, mach premeditation and contrivance. Having met Mr. Moffat, on the morning of the 28th of July, he inveigled him to his house, and said that he had bought some property in Edinburgh, and want ed some partitions to be pat up in it, as it was tol large for him to occupy himself; but that his leg was so painful that lie could rot go to settle with the person wh. m he had bought the property of. Lie repeated this so often that witness th.onght he wistied him to propose to do it for him, and at last offered his services. They sit down ; the panel said, if he would write out a receipt for the money, he would intrust it to him. Witness, before writing it out, said he should like to know the amount, and panel said two hundred and twenty pounds, and gave him twelve WI. notes. Witness said that was more than was required.— The panel replied that interest was due on the money,whii h only left i balance of seventeen pounds ; and if lie (wi :nos.) would write, he (the panel) would dictate the receipt to him. The panel turned his back to him, and appeared to be lookiug oat of the window, and repeated whet lie wished witness to write in the receipt. Witness objected to the terms, aad said he could write a better one himself; the panel desired him to write one. and they eoald then compare the two. Wit ness wrote a receipt, which the panel said would do very well, If witness would add, after the amount received, the words Ge from Mr Thos. Kay, . King-street, Leith." Witness did so. The LORD JUST:CE Cucei summed •up the evidence in al very compendious And distinct manner. and deduced from the law and evidence of the case, that the plea of insanity had to tally failed, and that the crimes charged had been fully proved ageinst the pine!. The Jury. after about R minute's deliberation. without re tiring, returned a verdict, by the mouth of their Chancellor, J. W. Broutthaci. 1.11. unanimously tintlini; the panel Guilty of tue crimes Lord llcnlt 1N D. after remarking Volt it wool I he necessary to apply to tie Legislatore for an rxtensinn of the capital pu nishment in the case of maiming in Scotland, if this crime should continue to make any progress here, cropos rd tae same punishment which had recently been awarded in a somewhat similercase—natuely, public whipping, and transportation for It years. The f i ono Jesvter CLERK inttrmel the panel. that if his crime had heen committed in England. it'd followed by a si milar conviction there, nothing cluid have relieved the Judges from the duty of pronouncing upon Win the last sentence of thelaw ; and he fully concurred in /Altai had fallen from Lord Hermetic]. as to the expediency of applying to Parliament fur the extension of Lord Eildlitierou,cli'a Act to Scotland, if this crime should not be arrested by the present example. Ilia Lordship pronounced the senL.lice of the Court. that on Wed nesday the 18th instant, the prisoner he publicly whipped on his naked back through the streets of Leith, which he had ilia graced by his crimes; and that he he Rfttrwards transported beyoad the seas for 14 years from this date. Wegronn.—New Ross, Jan. 24.--A very singular occ'r rence took place hereon Monday Isr.t.
