Arrangensen's had been made, by which it was in tended that Members of the faculty, and Clerks to the Signet, should get access to the Court, in preference to others; but the anxiety to wittiest,' the trial was so great, that not one half of those who came to the Outer House could get places in the first division, where the trial was to take place. The arrangements haviag been made for excluding from the Court 'the witnesses us both sides, and Ilse dory having ob tained access to the Court, Mr. Stuart, attended by the Earl of Moray, Mr. Erskine, of Cadres', Lord Lough borough, and a few more friends, came Into Cantu t . the Signet Library.

James Stuart beteg asked by the Lean larrics CLARK whether be wee guilty—answered, " My Lords, 1 am Not Guilty." Mr. Cecilia's...l de lot intend to state any objec tions to the ledletesent It is drawn in a peculiar form, and contains expressions which might bare been spared; bat Mr. Stuart does net wish to throw any obstacles in the way of that trial which it hu been his serails desire to meet since the unfortunate affair took plum. I think it, however, my duty to avail myself• of this opportunity to state what will be the line of defence, and do not conceive that I am guilty of any impropriety in stating it to the Gentleman of the Jury. My Lord—This indictment sate oat by stating, that Mr. Stuart hail " conceived mange and against the late Sir Alexander Boswell, of Auchinieck, Bart." and that under the 'deuce of this feeling he had challenged him. So far all is consistent—baring malice against that individ eel. it is at least consistent he should have formed the unlawful desire of chal lenging that gentians.. But the indictment gone@ to state, that be notonly formed the design of challenging Sir A. Boswell, but also ether persons. The indictment goes on to state, that Mr. Stuart repaired to Glasgow, to obtain, through the medium of Mr. Borthwick, sun dry papers end documents which were is the pre miles in Nelsos•street, occupied by Mr. Roht. Alexan der, editor and proprietor of The Glasgow Sentinel newspaper. and that be received them from William Murray Borthwiek, who was then is prison—that a combat took place, in which Sir Alexander Boswell fell, and Mr. Stuart. conscious of his guilt, bad ab sconded. Now. my Lord, all these statements are pointedly denied—they are statements of which therr can be no evidence; Mr. Stuart bad no motive to eh 'coed ; he was actuated by no conscious guilt, and did not abscond or fly from justice. That Sir Alexander Boswell met with his death at the band of the prisoner, we do not professionally admit—we call on the prose cutor to prove it; we do so chiefly that we may have the benefit of the evidence. I cannot enter upon the question without begging the sympathy of the Jury. In the first place, it was one of the misfortunes of this affair that it is connected with politics, and which cannot be viewed without exciting prejudices. I will not go into this matter one iota—bat pray that our duty may he ascribed to the defy of our situation, without exciting prejudice. It is another gri misfortune of this use, that justice cannot be done to the living.. without casting a shade es the character of that gentleman whose unfortunate loss hes occasioned this discussion—upon the memory of one whota unfortan its loss we cannot repair. lam inclined to ascribe the conduct of Sir Alexander to the unfortunate propensity for raillery, for which he was so fatuous, and I am sure in saying so, I state no more then his best friends will allow, who must attribute it to an unfortunate propensity. In trying such cues, it has bees laid down by the gravest Judges. that reference must be bad to the rank end character of the accused. 'l•he unfortunate man it the bar is of unimpeachable character. and a gentle maa—he is uncereinveiessly designed in the indict meet " James Stuart" He is a gentleman connected with some of the first families is the land—with thes .I r ii liai,'S•4l..iii;l,lll.,isao;tio4s: Qittbie sib)!"

Upon a Saturday, Mt.Staan was walking in the adjoini•g hall, when be was addressed by a person who introduced himself as the private agent of Borthwick. He told Mr. Stuart tk;pt Borthwick was willing to give up the minor of tits paragraph. against Mr. Stuart, in order to screen himself. Mr. Stuart west to tilaegrow—he did not know that Borthwick had no right to give up these papers. if Mr. Stuart had not arcep:ed, he would be again attacked as the mean fellow—the skulking paltroon --o-the coward. He (Mr. Cockburn) had the authority of the former and succeeding numbers of that paper tor making such a statement. lint Mr. Borthwick was entitled to give possession of the papers. Mr. Cockburn then entered upon a statement of the die ce‘slon between Alexander and Borthwick, and en dearnete I to prove that llorthw•ick hail the right of d Amin of lb* papers as be thongs t Yr. Stuart. however, bad so communication with Borth wick; he did not pay the debt for whirl Borthwick was Incarcerated. If the propriety of Mr. Stuart's canduet depended upon Borthwick's being entitled to give him these papers, the■ be is perfectly acquitted. for Borthwick had that right. Mr. Stuart upon gain jog possession of the papers, discorered that Sir Alex ander Boswell, a person whose talents he admired, who was distantly related to him, end of whom he never spoke ill, was the author of these libellous pa• ✓agraplos. If Sir Alexander was informed that Mr. Stuart wrote against him in another paper, his infor mation was completely false, for Mr. Smart never wrote anonimously in a newspaper, except in a discus sion concerning a ferry-boat. Mr. Stuart found him self thus libelled by a person distinguished for his rank. Mr. Stuart could not avoid doing what he did. Mr. Stuart consulted ' , mai honourable and amiable men. Mr. Simon made to Sir Alexander two propositions, which he, Mr. Cockburn, was astonished he cid not see le to. Mr. Stuart as)crol Sir Alexan der to deny being the author of the song; Sir Alexan der admitted he was the author. • The other was, that Sir Alexander should say he was swry fur it: and it was a sgail•, and they would be friends. Sir Alexander's answer was, " I cannot submit to I.e cetecioised."— Wait a duel to be avoided after this ? Sir Alexander himself has left evidence behind- him what he tloooght should be dune. Ile ordered all hie MSS. to be de stroyed; but he left the additional Message, that if any min called upon him fur pm rsonal satisfaction, yon should give np my name.

He wrote to an honourable friend at London, Mr Robert Macionno chic, -eying that he would give satisfaction to any poison Ile had injured, rres should that person be James Stuart. The character of the seconds were highly praised by Mr Cockburn. Sir Alexander proposed the affair should take place on the Condisent. He again resolved to fight in Ragland, solely for the purpose of maple; from the law of the country ; at last he arced to fight I ,■
