cheered, and asked the crowd to cheer with hied,
At. this time, the „:Lieutenant-Colonel came up,
when Captain Macdonogh told him he had been
badly used. The Colonel saki, "lam a soldier,
and shall not be badly used," and clapped his hand
to his sword ; but Witness cannot say that he drew
it. After this they went away. They, were both
intoxicated, but the Colonel was the worst, and
staggered much. The Surgeon had hold of his arm.
Witness saw an Officer (Lanigan) in the crowd, run
and seize a lad whom the soldiers dragged to the
guard-house, while he, the Officer, was pushing
him behind. Does not think there. was greater dis.
tutbance on the streets, upon
..this. Occasion, than
formerly, on the King's Bitth.day,,
Mr. James Gibbon, Writer, ,Aberdeen, said, he
was in the Town.Uall, on 4th June ; sat close by
one of the Officers of the Rosa and Cromarty Regi.
ment ; thinks they Made more free with the liquor
than the rest of the company. Witness begged
them not to ply the Officer on guard with so much
wine. One of the Officers answered, "11 the Offi-
cer on guard is not able to do his duty, 1 will do
it for him." The company drank in the common
way. The:Officers went away a quarter of an hour
before the company broke up.
Mr. George Brown, late Ensign in the Rosa. and
Cromarty Rangers, said, he -was at the 'Town_
House on 4th June last. Witness accompanied
Colonel Mackenzie from the Town.flouse. He
was not quite sober. The Officers all went away
except Surgeon Macdonald and the Witness, whq
stopt to see the Colonel home. When they got op-
posite the guard-house, they met Captain Macdo-
; nogh. The street was quiet at the time. The •
Captain told them that he had been insulted ; that
the guard had been &forced, and it was necessary
that they should be reinforced. The Colonel gave
orders to bring the guard front the Barracks, and
Macdonogh went off. A man came up, and said he
was as good as the Colonel, and threatened to strike
him with his fist ;. he was seized and sent away to
the guard-house. Colonel Mackenzie fell back on the
ground, in consequence of a scuffle that then ensued.
it was the taking away the man that occasioned
the scuffle. On the Colonel's rising, he drew
his sword. Witness advised him •to put it
up, which he did, and accompanied the Colonel
to the Barracks, where he left him. They
met Captain Macdonogh coming from the •:Bar.
racks, with several files of, men.; , They }Aimed
without speaking. Others of the soldiers were
coming, out of the Barracks to reinforce the guard:
Saw nobody strike the Colonel. The Colonel was
a good deal cut with drinking. Coming down the
Hall stair, he got a fall, which he thinks was ow.
ing to his being intoxicated. After seeing the Co.
loud into the Barracks, Witness returned and saw
the men drawn up in line, and Captain Macdonogh
at their head. At this time the crowd were quiet.
Witness said to the Captain, " You had better order
the men back ;" to which he agreed, and. gave
orders to countermarch to the Barracks. The mob
then fell a hallooing and making a great noise.
Witness does ,not recollect whether the firing from
the Military, or the throwing of stones from the
crowd, began first. He was standing close to Cap.
tail Macdonogh, and is certain he gave no orders
to fire, MU were any orders given, as he must have
heard them. The men broke from their ranks, and
fired irregularly. Some of the Officers were absent,
on accounts of a Court Martial. Witness saw no
person in the crowd with sticks. At the commence-
ment of the throwing of stones, the left of the line
had not moved, the right had only begun to counter.
march. Saw none of the older Citizens on the streets.
The Witness did not know the muskets were 'loaded
with ball.cartridge, as orders had been given the
day before to give these up; told they had been left
in their own rooms. Captain Macdonogh was in
mourning at this time. Could not tell how long
the firing continued, as he and Captain Macdonogh •
were almost immediately after made Prisoners.—
There was firing after they were in custody.
Cross-examined.—There was no firing till the
men broke from the line, and commenced the irre.
gular firing ; if there had been any he would have
heard it.

The late determination of the Halifax Justices, in
the cause between a Clergyman and the Keeper of
a roll.gate, " That a Clergyman going on duty is
every where exempt from the payment of turnpike.
toll," will, apparently, not bequietly acquiesced in.
Several difficulties and altercations have since occur-
red; amongst others, at a gate in the county of
Cambridge, a Clergyman, on Sunday se'nnight,
claimed exemption, as a privileged person. The
toll.keeper answered, that he was not much ac.
quainted with the Law; but added, " You go
through two of my gates twice every Sunday ' • the.
toll is only one penny; now, Sir, if you will not
pay me a farthing a time, there is no law to make
me come out and open the gate ; and unless you
both 'open and shut it in future, I shall not only
put in 'the pins, but shall lock it, for no law can
force 'meta be your servant."

The following singular case is worthy of the
'serious attention of the Faculty : On the r 7th of
November, died at Bennington, in the State of
Vermont, America, D. STRATTON, the son of Mr.
J. STRATTON, in the zoth year of his age. This
unfortunate 'young man was, in 5791, seized with
what is called sciatica, and at different periods 'he
suffered a dislocation of most of his joints. Fur
the last eight years Ise was unable to step from his
bed, and all his joints were gradually dislocated
and rendered useless, even those of his fingers.
During the last 4ix years he had never been turned
in his bed, nor removed, e*eept on the bedstead.
Three years ago his jaws became fixed, and conti-
nued so to the time of his,death ; all Itisliuslenance
was administered in slices so thin, as ,to, be forced
into an orifice about one.eighth of an .inch wide ;
and the disorder alfifting his eyes, deprived him of
sight for three years. He afterwards became en.
tirely deaf with one ear, and received no liquid for
two years before his diath but what he sucked
through a straw. It is remarkable that he retained
his senses throughout this long period. In his last
moments he called his rattives together, and bade
