CONVICTION FOR MURDER.—At the High Court
ed of
Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Thursday, a pensioner, nam
George Christie, belonging to Aberdeen, was charged
with the murder of an aged widow, named Ross, and
her grandchild, a boy of about five years of age, at Sunny-
bank, Kittybrewster, near Aberdeen, on the 4th of
October last. The deceased woman lived with her
grandchild in a humble cottage, and supported herself
by selling the milk of her cows. She was generally be-
lieved to be possessed of some money, and the motive
that led to the crimes with which the prisoner was
charged was evidently the desire to gain possession of it.
No less than nine wounds, any of which would probably
have caused death, were found on the body of the poor
woman, while the skull of the child was completely laid
open. A purse with a small sum of money, as well as
a gold ring belonging to Mrs. Ross, were found in Chris-
ties possession when apprehended, and he had previously
been seen in the neighbourhood. The jury, without
hesitation, pronounced a verdict of Guilty, and the Lord
Justice Clerk appointed him to be executed at Aberdeen
on the lath of January.
