The trial occupied eighteen hours and a half, an 4 e Court adjourned at half-past four on Wednesday morning to half-past ten. For the Crown—the Lord Advocate, and J. A.

After the Lord Advocate was he ird in answer, and Lord 4ustice Clerk, (Lilies, and Pitinilly, delivered their opinions, the Lord Advocate deserted the diet against Clinton, as his information did not justify him in detaining the Court with his trial. he evidence of the prosecution then proceeded. Mr. Mitchell remembers hearing. a ;wise in the Highland Close, opposi:e Stantion's Close, in the summer, about midnight: When he went up, he saw one of several soldiers, a tall man, asking the Lest of the blue jackets to turn out, and he would fight them ; there were five or six soldiers, and about a down sai lors and tradesmen. Afterwards one of the soldiers, a little man.came up with a bayonet under his jacket, and asked them to tarn out and fight ; he did nut hear the sailors cry any thine---they wanted to make peace. A sailor came np, and offered the ,Wtliers half a pint not to wrangle.

When they caw in. one of them atm Robertson three times on the head with a candle stick(& and witness pulled him into his kit-hen ; the crowll increased, and he was obliged to go out of the window to call di. guard. The guard turned back for their arms, and witness went alone to the house, and told the soldiers they were firing on their own guard. There were three soldiers, one on each side of* window with muskets, and one behind them ; iliihopsey it-IS one of them, hitt does not know the other Den v ey 1)--, I'll blow your a ont I.r bringing the if tort' ." The soldiers weft all in blood when he looked into the room. The crowd attemptel to break open the floor, and milled eat against the bloody souls of the soldiers. The whole of the window was smaOted in. Surrage and nempaey lodged about a month in the house, and he never saw any thing but jowl behaviour before. No firing took place before the window was knocked in, and the mob called for the bloody souls of the soldiers ; Got tel half inutchkins that night ; some very drunk ; Dempsey was not very drunk. The Court accordingly met at half-pat ten o'clock on Wednesday, when George Caseation was brought to the bar, accused of assaulting, on the highway lead ing from Ayton t t Wisher, on the 12th of /lugu* last, William Dobson, labourer at Shilhottle,in Nor thumberland, and robbing him of a silver watch, hat, two one pound notes, ant fifteen shillings in sil ver. Ihe panel pleaded guilty to the charge before the Court and Jury, and, after a suitable ailtuonitiur, was sentenced to transpnrtation for life. John Dempsey and Nobert - Sariage was then brim gh to the bar to receive sentence. The verdict of the Jury hating been read, Lord (litten said, it now became the duty of their Lord ships to give effect to the impartial verdict whirls had been pronounced by au attentive and intelligent jury Rfainst the very unfortunate prisoners at the bar. He felt himself hound to say, that a fairer or more equal trial he had never witnessed, and that the panels had been most ably defended. He conceived and sug gested that the verdict of the jury bad left no alter native in the breasts of the Court, but they must faith fully administer the full penalty which the taw botlt human and divine has denounced against the crime of which the panels had been found guilty; and, with the most painful feelings, he had to propose, tbat the prisoners be taken from the bar to the place from whence they came, and be executed in the manner which the law proscribes, u Wednesday. the 13th day of December next. Participating in the regret which his learned brothers and all humane persons mast feel, that such a solemn example should be unavoidable, he trusted, while it would serve to convince the military in particular, that the weapoirs which they wore were. intrusted to them for the defence, and not for the de struction of their peaceable fellow-citizens, it world also demonstrate to the other classes of his Majesty's "abject', that the law and this administratioo of the law are; even-handed ; and that it would serve as a warning to all claei:s of men, not to indulge a ranco runs spirit, and nut to surrender their better feelings to the in.lis:.riminate and uncontrolable fury of a tu multuutis indignation. Lord PITMILIa never had addressed their Lordship' under deeper or more acute suffering than on the pre sent occasion, hut it could not fail to be satisfactory to the panels ttiesnselvee, conservative of the law of the country, and important to the comfort of us all, that in thin or any other criminal court never did Counsel, Jury, and every person bound to interfere, I onduct themselves with more ability ant! propriety than has been exemplified by all the parties concerned in this trial. The jury hays shown throughout Macrae an attention that reflects on them the highest credit. The verdict wen the only one that could have been pro nonneed without danger to the country. It was mar possible to ripp ne that the peace of a pairs team could ever he pr 'o'ceed it such an oatrage and vio lenre has had been proved against the panels were to pass uapunished ; and the sentence namad wee the only one in their Lordships' power to pass on the as fortunate panels at the Isar.
