intoxicated. This happn; on'allignday, and the de-
ceasei died on the following Friday.
E. Lamdon, a sore rUndthe decerea wounded
in the lower exti'emity .of the abdomen. There was
little blood then about the woun ', but it appeared that
a profuse hemorrhage had taken place, which had been
suddenly stopped. On opening the body, the wound
was found to be about half an inch deep, and a quarter
of an inch in width. The death of the woman was oc-
casioned by internal hemorrhage.
Two witnesses swore that the prisoner was a man of
weak intellects, and was frequently teased by the boys
of the town. He was neither cruel nor violent, but
when in liquor was perfectly insane.
The Junns left it to the Jury to decide whether there was any
evidence of malice aforethought against the prisoner ?
The Jury found him Not Guilty.
An indictment for manslaughter, which had been preferred
against the prisoner, was withdrawn.
James Ingram was capitally indicted for a violent assault on the
person of Anne Clarke, the wife of William Clarke, of Sutterton,'
in Lincoln,hire.

The prosecutrix, a feeble, pile woman, of rather an interesting
appearance, and about 30 wears of age, was put into the witness
box. She appeared greatly distressed, and gave her evidence with
much trepidation. The Court intimated that unless the case could
be carried much further, the Jury could not convict.
Counsel for the prosecution said, they had no other material
evidence ; upon which the Jury found the prisoner Not Guilts.
A mob of infaniors women, who were waiting outside the Court,
brutally ill-treated the prosecutriv as she quitted it, and before
she was rescued from their hands, her clothes were nelirly torn off,
without any of the numerous officers of justice attempting to rescue
her from such brutal violence.

Joseph Walker was iniicted for stealing ten sheep,
the property of Thom Is Sl a. r, a fat mer, in this county ;
and John ilshion and ti illinns Andrews for receiving the
same, knowing them• to have been stolen.—They were
round Gully.
Mr. Justice PARK ordered sentence of Death to be recorded
against Walker, intimating to him at the same time, that although
his life would be sp4red, he would be sent out of the country for
his life. lie then sentenced the other two prisoners to transporta.
tion for 11 years.

The anniversary of the nativity of King Robert Bruce,
was celebrated as usual on Monday the 11th inst. under
the walls of his ancient patrimonial castle of Lochmaben,
by a numerous patty of Ladies and Gentlemen from the
town and neig:tbourhood. At four o'clock, the com•
pasty, about sixty in number, sat down to an excellent
pic-nic dinner, in honour of the day. •The Honourable
the Provost of the Burgh in the Chair; Lieut.-Colonel
Carruthers, of Denbie, Croupier.
The cloth being removed, the Chairman gave " His
Majesty the King"—" the Duke of York and all the,
members of the Royal Family." He then craved a
bumper, and begged to call the attention of the com-
pany to the toast immediately connected with the ob-
ject of the meeting—" The immortal memory cf King
Robert Bruce," which was drank with that deep feeling
which it must ever produce in the bosoms of all who
cherish the remembrance of the mighty of the earth,
who have not passed away without leaving a bequest
behind them, to benefit all sticceeding generations!
ig The . glorious memory of Sir William Wallace, the
spotless Knight of Ellerslie"—" the illustrious Captains
and Warriors of the Bruce"—" The ancient and pa-
triotic Houses of Douglas, Johnston, Maxwell," &c. &c.
in Dhmfripsiliire, who so eminently contributed to
effect the independence of this country, were then given
from the •Chaii-.
The Croupier,—" The -Most Noble the Marquis of Queensberry,
Lord Lieutenant of the Colinty."
The Chair—" Sir William [lope and William U. K. Douglas,
Esq. our wOrthy•Representatives in Parliament."
Mr. Henderson Somerville—ln proposing the " Health of Mr.
Hope Johnstone, expressed a wish that the company might soon
have to rejoice in the restoration of that Gentleman ro the ancient
honours of his Noble House"—(Great applause).
Captain Broun—" Gave the memory of the late Mr. Stewart, of
Hillside, a Gentleman who always took a warm interest in the
celebration of this day, and whose generous exertions in promoting
the prosperity of the county, are equally known and appreciated."
Major Gordon-Proposed the" health of Mr. Murray, the Lord
of the Manor, a Gentleman nniversaUy respected and esteemed"—

(Applause). - -
Mr. MIL BROUl4—Rose et to propose a toast, which
never yet was unacceptable to free men, and which on
the present occasion, and following, as it did, the ho-
nours with which we have just crowned the goblets sa-
cred to the memory and patriotic renown of those men
whom this day should never pass by without calling to
remembrance—came with all the force of an emphatic
appropt iation. It is the cause for which the Bruce and his
brotherhood in arms fought and bled--t The cause of Li-
berty.' That hallowed cause for which the truly great
and good, in all generations, lived and died, transmitting
to posterity as 4 the friends of freedom and of men-names that have survived the ruins of Empires, and that
will outlive the gilded infamy of even the proudest sub-
jugator that ever enslaved his race. Upon this spot,
sacred to liberty by so many associations ! the nar-
rowed principles of party spirit should find no utterance;
and sure am I, that I should do violence to the enlight-
ened and liberal views of every one present, were I to
confine our sentiments within the limits of any political
opinion—(Applause)—here, at least, unchallenged, we
may cherish and avow an unfeigned love of that ge-
neral cause—so native to the generous feelings of every
Scottish bosom—so congenial indeed to the honest prin-
ciples of every man, that whilst we this day witness its
achievements in the prosperity and happiness which sur-
rounds us, and glory in its triumph, we cannot deny our-
selves the ennobling wish, that its extension may be:
over every land and under every clime; that wherever
there is a heart to aspire after it—that there it may have,
free course to the mighty energies that slumber in every
bosom, to assert and maintain inviolate those rights and
privileges, civil and religious, which ate the natural
and unalienable birth-right of man."—" .The cause of
•fiberty over the world"—" the British Constitution, the
admiration and glory of the world"—" the Land of
Cakes and Brother Scots"—" the Chieftains and Clans
and Colonel Carruthers"—" the health of Mr. Douglas
of Lockerbie"—" the gallant Captain Hugh Clapper ton"
—" the Atmy and Navy" and many other national and
appropriate toasts were given in the course of the evening.
Meanwhile the music, which had during dinner breathed fa-
vourite national anthems, gives way to a merry mood—the tables
are forsaken—dancing commences, and
0 The voice of gladness sounds elate
By turret, Like, and stream !"
Nothing could exceed. the beauty of the evening —one party seated
at tea—another dancing' below the ruins of the ancient Castle—
the splendour and elegance of the Scene, and the recollections of the
day, gave all that harmony and elevation of spirit which =never
accompany them, and it was only when the shades of night de-
scendFd, that the party left the sacred ground," where Bruce's tur-
rets crumbling fall, the-monument of ages passed away."
" Let the remembrance of the Brnce's fame,
And all his glory every breast inspire:
To emulate the first of Alhyrt's name, •
To glow with patriot zeal-.-witli freedom's ardent fire.
And meet" may that Idling high grew tame,
Which took its rise front that Sire:
