CIRCUIT IATELLIGENCE.

The Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened at
Glasgow, on Saturday last, by the Right Hon. Lords
Cotzete and HUMANE.: The following trials took
place :
* Rtrchad IPrigit, a native of Ireland, accused of
stealing Flora Amos, a child of about three years of
age, pleaded guilty ; but the Advocate-Depute, in
respect of the extraordinary nature of the charge, and
to • satisfy the Court and the Jury, adduced two wit-
neiseS, to prove the leading circumstances of the case:
By their testimony, it appeared, that the child was
stolen frcm King-street of Glasgow; on the evening
or. the sth of July last, and that it was recovered from
the prisoner at Prestwick toll, in Ayrshire, on the fol-
lowing Monday forenoon ; she being overtaken by
the parent. sr > he yet' travelling towards Port Patrick
with the child. The Jury which was inclosed on the
case; returned a verdict in the afternoon, unanimously
finding the prisoner guilty.
37..ade1, of Meadowside, residing in Airdrie,
accused of *assaulting James M'Clayman, lately la-
bourer, now residing in Airdrie, in Waddel's own
house, on the 25th of March last, and. cutting him
severely with an axe, en the left arm, to the great ef-
fuSion of his blood, and danger. of his life. The pri-
soner having pleaded not guilty, a proof was led for
the parties ; and after the Counsel were heard, and
the Lord Hermand had summed up the evidence, the
Jury were inclosed, and desired to return their verdict
at ten o'clock on Monday.
The Court having met on Monday, the Jury in-
closed on the trial of James Wadda, returned a verdict
unanimously finding the assault libelled on, proved ;
but, by•a plurality of voices, finding that there was
to proof that the prisoner was actuated by. premedi-
tated malice.. After hearing an objection m the re--
levarcy of the verdict, stated by Mr: Bell, Counsel
for the prisoner, en account of an alledged misnomer
of one of the Jarymen, the Court pronounced sen-
tence, orderieg the prisoner to be confined two months
in the tolhontli of Glasgow from this date, and there-
after; until he pay R. 200 sterling, as a fine, to be ap-
plied as the High Court of Justiciary shall direct,
and End caution to keep the peace for three years, un-
der the penalty of £.500 sterling.
The indictment against Jon Fraser, now or lately
residing at Flamm, in the parish of Row, and County
of Dumbo-ton, accused of forging a letter, to obtain
redelivery of a quantity of herrings, which had been
seized from him by the Excise, being called—On the
motion of the Advocate-Depute, the diet was de-
serted age;nst bins, /o'7 it-00 ct tempore.
James Munro and W:lliam McFarlane, both now or
lately apprentices to Mr. Francis Orr, pocket-book-
maker, Glasgow, present prisoners in the tolbooth of
Glasgow, indicted for the crime of fraud and imposi-
tion, by enlisting and receiving their bounties, and
concealing that they were apprentices, were then put
to the bar. A long debate took place on the rele-
vancy of the libel, after which the Court found the
libel, as laid, not relevant, and dismissed the same and
the prisoners from the bar. They were re-committed
on an application by the Advocate-Depute, but af-
terwards liberated, on finding caution to answer to a
new action to be brought against them.
John Wilson, s( w of Thomas Wilson, sailor in Port-
Glasgow, a hey of 14 years cf age, accused of murder
or culpable homicide, by killing a boy of the like age,
by throwing a brick hat at him on.a quarrel ensuing
between them. The Advocate Depute past from the
charge of murder, and the prisoner thereon pleaded
not guilty ; but added, " I did not intend it." Some
witnesses were examined in exculpation ; and the
Jury being afterwards inclosed, they returned a ver-
dict, finding him guilty of culpable homicide, but
that the facts libelled took place in consequence of a
boyish quarrel, and that the prisoner had no intention
of c, inmittiny the 17,1/rt• MTV(' ; and they therefore
recommended to t!.e Court to be as lenient in their
sentence as was consist lit w :Ili the ends of public
justice. The Court pronotinco; sentence, erdering the
prisoner to be imprisoned in Cdasgow jail one month.
