and after stating the whole, except the evidence of
Mr. Sharp, he said the Prosecutor had thought pro-
pel; to call Mr. Sharp, the Plaintiff in the AC-tion,
as a Witness, to prove the reality of the debt ;
but it was nut necessary to go . so far, for they
were not trying, the case as between Mr. Slurp
and the Impress Officer Lieutenant Omer, but as
between Brown, the Serjeant, and Lieutenant o;iiner;
and it could not be any defence, even if it was
proved that this 'was a conspiracy to get the De-
fendant in the. AC-lion out of the SerVice, unless
Brown the Officer was a prty •to it-; but having
called the Plaintiff' in the Alion, he positively
swears to the reality of .his debt, and .there is no
evidence to charge any conspiracy so -as-to afF:et
Brown, who was answerable for the execution of
the writ ; and he is not: to
_be inte•rtipted in the
execution of his duty. He concluded by saying
to thejury, " The whole question is, are you sa-
tisfied with the story as related by Brown, confirm-
ed as it is by the other Witnesses ? If you are, you
will find the Defendant guilty upon the zd count ;
if not, you will find him not guilty."
The Jut y, without the least- hesitation, found the
Defendant Guilty, and he will of course be brought
up next Term to receive the Judgment of the Court
of King's Bench.
The Counsel for the Prosecution were Mr. JE KY Lt.
and Mr. MOOR E ; and for • the Defendant, Mr.
Gitstts, Mr. Serjeant LENS, and Mr. DAmr ER.

LADY'S ROCK, SCOTLAND.—At the south end
of the Island of Lismore is a small rocky isle, over
which the sea rolls at high tides ; at other times it
raises its rough head somewhat above the surface of.
the water. It is called the Lady's Rock, for the fol.
lowing reason':ln former times, one of the M'Leans
of Duart, whose castle (now in ruins) stands-Am
a promontory in Mull', in nearly an opposite direc_
tion to the Lady's Rock, married a sister of Argyle.
The lady was handsome and amiable, but unhappily
she was barren. In those days it was a- high
crime in the eye of a husband, when his Wife' bore
him 'no children. Duarte 'hated his hapless' lady for
tha(cause, and determined''on her deStrUaion; To
accomplish it with rase, ;and 45 he imagined safe
from deteetion, he ordered ruffians to convey her
secretly to the bare rock near Lismore, and there leave
het to perish at high tide. The deed was executed
to Duart's wish, and the Lady left on the rock,
watching the rolling tide rising to overxhelm her.,
'When she had given herself up for a lost being, and
expeled in a very short time to be washed from the
rock by the waves, she fortunately perceived a
vessel sailing down the Sound of 'Mull, in the
direClion 'of the rock on which she was sitting.
Every effort in her power was exerted, and every
signal in her possession was display :4i, to artracl the
notice of die people in the vessel. At length they .
perceived her, and drew near the rock. She made
herself known, and related that it was by the order
of her barbarous husband site was left on the rock,
and thus reduced to the wretched state in which
they 'timid her. The Mariners, ever a generous
race, took compassion on her, received her on board
their vessel, and conveyed her safely to her brother
at'lnverary.
M'Lean Duart made a grand mock funeral for
his much loved; much-lamented lady, who he an..
n iunced, to have died suddenly. , He wrote dis-,
consolatt Utters to her relatiJn's, particularly' to
Argyle, and after a decent time went (o Inverary
in deep mourning, where,. with the greatest chew
of grief, he Lmented .to his brother.in-law the
irreparable loss he had sustained. Argyle said little,
but sent for his sister, whose uneXpeded appear-
ance in life and health proved 'an electric shock to
her tender husband. Argyle was a -mild. and
able man, and took no other revenge of M'Lean,
but commanding him to depart instantly, at the
same time advistrig-him to take care brit to Meet hii
brother Donald, who would certainly take away
his life, for having intended to destroy that of his
sister. Sir Donald Campbell did meet him many
years afterwards in a street at Edinburgh, and
there stabbed him for
,his crime towards his sister,
when M'Lean was eighty years of age.
