-James Calder—About two o'clock in the morning
of the 14th of last August, when on his return with i
two carts from Glasgl
ow to the Moto Iron Work,
was attacked on the Hirst, near the Kirk of Shorts,
by two men ; Calder was asleep at the time in one of 1
the carts, which was empty, and received several
blows before he could get up to defend himself.—
Having, however, got out of the cart, he made a re-

defence, and his dog assisting him, the assail-1
ants became intimidated, and walked off without ob. ,
raining any plunder. He identified Muir as one of .
the two men, :...tving distinctly seen him, but he could
