the night was very dart, and it rained hard ; and
-tbe'first thing he heard was from Min of the °Seers,
who said, " he had a good mind to draw his sword,
and run him 'through the body." On hearing
"thls, Witness went up to the officer' and said,
"Gentlemen, if there his been any mistakes it will
be better to settle it withal' quarrelling on the

civil answer; iinthediettly on which Boyd rushed
put the Wlttiess, and struck one of them a very
severe blow. Witness then drew down his umbrel-

as, after what one df the officers bail said abotat
detwing his sword, he was not 'sore hot what lie
might have fll.l him through by Mistake in the

neither did he see Boyd struck by any of the of-
ficers; and none of them desired IVitness to take
him away. The deceased appeared to have g,ot li-
qttor, and he was disputing with Paton about a
piece of cloth, which he held in his hand ; this he
was swinging *boot, which probably gave offence
tp the officers; bat Witness saw none given, and
%ere were no sticks in the company. The night
was so dark that another person could hardly be

James Johnst ((((( siweinaker in Edinburgh, was
then called. Ile deiso-ed Ub to a number of
tenchrl to .hew that the deceased was
rather iliepustd to be nu.irrelsoine. In particular,
he mentioned one occasion on which lie thought
the deceased in's-tided to rub I of Isis ; arid
on the King's birth-day last, he came into I 4 tap-
room, along with some others, where the the wit-
ness and another party were sitting, into whose hoz
he forced himself, leaving his own party; that on
atilt occ.oriou wittiers rehired to admit him into the
box, on account of the ribose attempt to take his
money, iu crinse:pleuce of which he offered to tight
aay person in the room on the Calton-hill, and
wrote (lowa his name by way of challenge. Ile was
afierwisds turned out, and broke several panes of
glees in the windows of the tap-room from the out-
side.

Wravish, who kept the lap-roorn in
question about two years ago, corroborated the pre-
ceding wit nesa's te4iirmuy.
dames Johnston, engraver in Edinburgh, with
whom the dee:eased served his apprenticeship, sliced,
that he was about la or 19 years of age when he this-
climes:ea his itidenturr, wl•icli he did its April or

term had expired. Witness did this in conse-
quence asinine improtore conilnct on the part of the
deceased ; and hr mention. it several i.istances of
that nature which occurred lifter lie was discharged,
from which it was *coked Ow he was of a eery 1/10.4

James And. r.ois, apothecary in Edinburgh. de.
polled to en icy:ince of a tisk sad unprovoked
at-
tack which the deceased made upon him at (;if-
ford's-par k, about two year, ago.
Cap•ain Anderson, of the Edinburgh Militia,
saw Mr. Symons on the morning after lie received
the wouuds ; he was then coniphiining very much,
mil hardly able to speak. Ile skid be had gent for
Cotatiel Inglis, as lie wished to see him. to tell how
the whole striver hoops ned, at.d he ttee!reil Wit-
ne•s al-o to call upon him. Ile accordingly called,
but the Colonel %aid, as the Curd rower had by this
time into-fen, d, 1w did net think it necessary to
iu-
terpose. %Vitise,s was the fast who meutiourd to
Mr. Spoon* that find was dead of the wound ; on
le.iruing which, he was very much pt.:items/, and
seta that he %WI exteriorly sorry he had been the

pelled to too It 111 self-defence, having been three
times knocked down ley the deceased.

David Paterson, Paymaster of the Regiment,
was with Mr. Sy ttttt no, sit the house of Capt. %Vat.
son, on the evening of the let curt. Mr. Symotis
was perfectly sober, and went away precisely twenty
minutes before tnelre o'clock. Witnr,s called
upon him next day; in consilitience of hearing of
the scuffle. and Nand him in b..a in great diairess
of body and mind ; Ina face was all discoloured, and
he complained much of the under part of his belly.
—As Mr. Symons expressed a wish to go to the
Council Chamber. and give every iuforination iu
his power respecting what had happened, Witness
procured a street coach to convey him down//se lie
was unable to walk. IVitnets had to sulil rt him
brain the barrack-roam down to the Castle.g Ile.
The two oreceibing w tuesses, and a number of
others, 111110I1X whom were Lieutenant-Colonel

sited Mr. Spawns, reported. t'.at be but tolLed

John Bell, surgeon, strut called to attend upon
Mr. Symons, the m • g after the aer;dent„
by a note from Mr. Walker, but owing to indis-
position, did not see hint till the afternoon. When
he first saw him, he found his Ince exceedingly
rheoloured, and it appeared thet lie ha 4 re-
ceived many blows, especially on the belly. Neat
morning he found him in great slistress, and 'com-
plaining of a suppresion of urine; that lie sent for
instruments to relieve him, acid remained is

may have been produced by uneasiness of mind, as
it teas of lung continuation, and he hail frequent
occasion fur the ute of the instrument. His
(Nit.. assistant lied several times attempted
to use the instrument, but did not succeed ; which
implieda great degree or fever cud depression of
spirits. Ile never talked with him upon the melan-
choly accident which lied happened, as he thooght
the subject too delicate. The fever contis!tied so
long, tout he was apprehensive of Ins life being in
danger, not so mod. front the blocs as from li.s
situation in prison; he therefore drew up N repre-
sentation. which be iiil.lre,qed to ib it Lord.hips,
&tieing these circumstances, anti di-tun, that be
might he removed; Which Wag granted. In walkine,
flow the prison to the eiirtia4r, lie staggered very
much; and on coining out of the carrisige. lie ~lip-
eurerl so excessively weak, that he considered him,
at that time, in a very dangerous state.
The Counsel for the rennet having closed the
evidence in his exculpation, the Jiiry were charged
by 31r. MACKE%zir, on the part of the Crown ;
and by Nlr. Juicy CLARK. in a must able speech,
for the l'iselnd.

gaud of. I corps of yeomanry, and a detach-
Merit of the Derry Militia, from Carrickfergus.

the old roan was in another, where he was exhorted
in the most earnest manner be the Nee, Mr. Pr at,
Vies of the parish, and by Mr. l'iottom the Sul,-
sheriff, to ic•lcriowlerige the justice of his serit”ni e,
and to confess his guilt ; but, sheltering himself
ler the casuistry, that " not having struck LI
blow, hr was not criminal." he persisted .11 con.
tinning dent to every arginnerit, e.itliog with les
legs acro.s, and takinz snuff in quantum., with
the me.t hardened composure.
