put to the bar, charged with having violated the person of
a young woman, named JANE Ross, servant to Join;
liscus, farmer at Westerton. The prisoner pleaded not
guilty. The case was, as usual, tried with closed doors.
The unfortunate woman is only 17 years of age. It ap-
pears the prisoner had, in company with JANE Ross, and
several other young persons, been returning from Elgin
Feeing Market. They stopped at a public-house, and had a
glass or two of spitits. NEWLANDS (who is about 39
years of age, and unmarried,) then advised JANE Ross to
walk on before with hint, and take a different road from
the rest of the party, stating that they would spaedily
ro-
join them at a place where the two roads met. tie had
nu intention of rejoining the company, but violated the
person of the poor girl, and brutally attacked her three
different times. On reaching her master's house, she in-
formed her mistress of the ill treatment she experienced,
and next morning she acquainted her relations with the
fact. The case was fully established by the evidence of
the young woman and other witnesses. It engaged the
Court from about three o'clock to half-past two o'clock
on the Sabbath morning, The Jury returned a verdict of
Guilty of the crime libelled, but from the previous good
character of the prisoner, unanimously recommended him
to mercy.-- Glasgow Herald,
