HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, OCT. t 2.

Tuesday came on before this Court the trial of
Robert Fergusson, paper-maker, at Airthrie Mills,
.Stirlingshire, accused of forging a stamp in imitation
of the King's stamp for marking paper, and also of
forging the officer's name. The pannel pled not
guilty. A number of objeEtions were made by his
Counsel, Mr. JEFFREY, to the relevancy of the in-
diEtment, which were answered by the Counsel for
the Excise. The Court repelled the objeatons, and a
Jury being chosen, the trial proceeded. A number of
witnesses were examined on the part of the prosecu-
tion; and also in exculpation, which occupied the
Court till eight in the evening. One of the pan tiers
witnesses was committed to prison for prevarica-
tion. The Solicitor-General charged the Jury for the
Excise; and Mr. Jeffery made a most ingenious de-
fence for his client. Lord Justice Clerk summed up
the whole with his usual candour and ability. Alter
eleven o'clock the Jury were incios4d, and were
appointed to give in theii verdict yesterday at ten
o'clock.
Yesterday the Court met again, when the Jury
returned their verdiCt, all in one voice, finding the
pannel guilty of having in his poss:ssion, in the
month of July last, and vending certa►n reams of
paper, having upon the wrappers thereof counter-
feit marks and stamps, knowing them to be forged.
A plea was urged by the pannel's Cot nsel in arrest
of judgment, which was over-ruled; and after a
suitable exhortation .fronpi the Lord Justice Clerk,
he was adjudged to be transported beyond seas for
seven years.

TAYLOR'S REMEDY FOR DEAFNESS.--MISS Char-
lotte Fuller, of Southover, in the Vicinity of Lewes,
who had been several years ?Staled with extreme
deafness, on Friday last came to the Office of'W.
LEE, and informed him, that on seeing the Remedy
advertised in this Paper, she sent for a bottle, and
applied its contents, agreeably to the printed direc-
tions until about one third part was consumed,
• when she had the happiness to find herself per-
fealy restored • to hearing, which she communi-
cated from motives of philanthropy, and under
an idea, that others in like manner affiiiiled, might'
receive similar benefit from- its publicity. The
manner in which the organs of sound, on being
brought into action, played upon the imagination of
Miss Fuller, is rather singular, and cannot be better,
or more emphatically expressed, than in her owN
WORDS, which were—" That she fanc!ed the me-
dium of her existence changed, and that she had been
imperceptibly introduced to the society of A NEW
WORLD!"
The above esteemed Remedy is sold . Wholesale
only by Messrs. Barclay and Son, Fleet-Market,
London ; and may be had price 85. 6d. per bottle,
with plain directions, of Messrs. Mathews and
Leigh, Strand ; Newbery and Sons, St. Paul's ; .Di-
cey and Co. Bow Church-yard ; • Scott, Cargill,
Edinburgh ; Muddleston, Dublin ; Davies, Cork;
