.SELKIRK, OCTOBER zit.

On VCrerinerday 1011, Thomas Gavenlock, carter,l
at Howdenpot.burn Toll, was tried' before WALTER
SCOTT. Elq. Sheriff Depute of Selkirlentire. and a
Special Jury, charged at the innance of the Procurs•
tor.Fircal, with the crime of abntaaing tome corn-
thekies from a field belonging to Mr. Geafge Park,
fn Carterhaugh, in the month of Septembea
The libel being relltifted to an arbitrary punifhment,
and the prifoner haVing pled Not Guilty, a very te-
fpettable Jury was eholen, compnfed of the Gentle•
men of the County, fariners of the neighbourhood,
and inhabitants of the town. The Sheriff, in a very
handfome manner, apologifed to the Gentlemen
enmpofing the Grand Jury,
.for the trouble he had'
given them in calling them together, to hold Affize
upon what might be by tome deemed trivial tren4
grelGon, but which he (on account of the unprotec-
ted nature of Inch kind of property) thought fhocld
be invelligatedin as public and folemn a ;manner aci.,
poflible. The trial then proceeded. Four witnefes
were called onto Inbaantiate the char=ge, the princi.
pal of whom Was Mt. Part himrelf, why gave ayary
clear and dinine evidence', Rating, that he lasi the
prifoner commit the theft, when he went up to hirri,
and charged him 'with having the Ilteaves in a rack
on his cart ; that he followed him on the road, till
she prifoner, rut-peeing his intention, left it, and turn.
ed off to a haugh, crafted the Etteriek, and tank ano-
ther than the common road to Selkirk. Here; how.
ever, Mr. Park called three men, palling, to his at.
finance," add, 'in their pretence, after' mentioning
what had happened, turned nut the contents of the
lark, which proved to be tWolheares of potatne oats.
Mr. Park alto hated, that he examined the 4nek
limn which there &eaves had been abliratlect and
found that two were wanting to complete it. The three
men corroborated Mr. Pat;c's evidence; as alto the
prevaricating account of the way the prilner'faid be
became polkaed of the heaves. • A declaration be
emitted before the Sheriff-fuhßitute on the day of
the theft, was alfo produced againa him. Itithislie
told a very different linty about the corn from that
he mentioned to Mr. Park and the other Witneffes....—
Hete ended the evidence for the profecution. Only
one witnefs was called in exculpation.
Mr. Roncaa, as public profecutor, then charged
the Jury, and, in a very able manner, recapitulated
the molt prominent parts of the evidence, in fupport
of the charge. animadverting on the incontinency
and contradittion apparent in the prifoner's account
of the affair.
Mr. ALEXANDER PARR ain't did great junice to
the cattle of his cliept, in an elegant and impreffive
addrefe to the Jury, in behalf of the panne'. ; he
quoted fame relpeflable and legal authorities in Top-
'pnrt of his opinion, on the deficiency of prod of the
delinqnency of the prifoner.
The Sheriff then fummed up the evidence for and
againft the partner, argued at confiderable length ce
any apparent difference in it, and took particular no-
tice of the legal opinions quoted.
The Jury then were inelnfed for about forty
minutes (having ehofen Mark Pringle, hlq. their
Chancellor, and Mr. George Craig. in Galathiels,
their Clerk) when they remitted a•verdiet of Guilty,
by a plurality rf votes, of the crime libelled againit
the prifoner; but, on account of tome circumtlances,
recommended him to the mercy of the Judge.
Before pronouncing fentence, the Shet iff addreffed
the prifoner in a very feeling and impreffive 'manner,
pointing out the abfurdity of perfons allowing them.
fclves to be milled into the commiffion of fuch petty
thefts, from the belief that Inch are of little code-
qnence, till the mind becomes familiar to their fre-
quency, and to enormities of greater extent, which
call for more ferions puniihment. He was then fen.
tented to two months confinement, at hard labour, in
the New Bridewell of Selkirk ; but if, at the end of
fit weeks, it fhould be reported to the Sheriff, that
he had been indultrions, and his condua orderly, he
would then be liberated.

Simpfon, who had committed feveral highway
robberies, and was capitally convieted at the lalt
Hertford Aflizes, broke prifon on Saturday right.—
He was chained to his cell, from which he difengaged
himfelf, and removed nearly a cart load of earth
from under the foundation to effeft his efcape.—
Simpron, it will be recollefted, was &ft taken after
committing a highway robbery on come of Lord
Ofrory's fervants, by the Hon. Mr. Brand, aftfled
by a party of Volunteers belonging to his corps in
Herttordfhire; and, but for the humane reprefenta-
firms of that Gentleman to the Judges of Mae,
after conwiftion, he would not now have lived thus
to requite the mercy he then obtained.
Wednefday torenoon,tke following fad dirafter hap-
pened at Old Mahon, Yorkfhire. A woman having
having occafion to leave her cottage for a (hunt time,
unwifely locked the outer door, leaving two young
children feated by the fire, when, form after her ee-
parture, the boy, five years of age, climbed upon
the feat of the window, opened the cafement, and,
in the bell manner poffible, gave an alarm of " fire,
fire !" A neighbouring perfin: initantly entered in
at the opened window, and found the clothes of the
girl; three yeirs old, completely in flames; every
means was deviled for the recovery of the fonrched
viCtim, but without effect ; the languifhed till late in
the evening, and then expired.
Sunday the body of a man was found by fome
boys in Deptford-lane, Peckham. As no marks of
violence were perceptible, and he had a watch and
fome filver in Ins pocket, it is fuppofed he died in a
a fit.
