ALLEGED OUTRAG E.-011 Thursday, a youth, about
eighteen years of age, applied to Mr. Rushton under the
following circumstances:—He said be stowed away in
the packet ship-ship Queen of the West, Captain
which was now lying in the river ready for sea. On
Wednesday he was discovered and brought on deck.
The mate (Gibson) took hold of him and rubbed his
face over with caustic, burning very badly his nose, brow.
and cheeks. The captain was standing by at the time,
and he said to the mate, " Give him the sign of the
cross." The mate accordingly made a cross upon the
forehead with the caustic. The face of the boy had a
shocking appearance, the flesh on the nose being laid
bare, and the other parts much injured. Mr. Rushton
ordered the examination of the youth by a surgeon, and
upon his evidence a warrant was granted for the appre-
hensioa of the captain and mate. Shortly afterwards a
woman applied to Mr. Rushton. She said she went on
board the sar_uo vessel to sae her husband. The captain
called her improper names, ordered a rope to be tied
round her waist, and threw her over the side of the vessel.
According to her statement two other boys had had their
faces burnt with caustic. The execution of the warrant
was intrusted to Mr. Superintendent Abraham, but on
his proceeding to the river he ascertained that the vessel
had sailed.—Liverpool Chronicle.
Decision and promptitude, even though sometimes
a man may err for want of due deliberation, will, in the
long run, more often conduct to success than a slow
judgment that comes too late.—Elizd Cook's Journal.
HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY.—The High Court
at their sittings since our last have been engaged with
the trial of a number of cases which were of a petty
character, with the exception of the case of James
M'Kay, spirit-dealer, and his wife, who were yesterday
(Friday) placed at the bar on a charge of being concerned
in uttering six forged 101. notes of the Bank of England.
M'Kay and his wife,
.in their declarations, maintained
that the notes had been given to Mrs. M‘liay by a Mrs.
Miller, wife of a flesher in the Cannongate, to keep, and
that, in order to pay some bills, they had given the notes
to various parties, not knowing them to be forged. After
a trial of some length, M`Kay was found guilty and sen-
tenced to fourteen years' transportation; and in the case
of his wife a verdict of " Not Proven " was returned.—
Edinburgh Witness.
