HIGH TREASON.

CONVICTION OF ANOTHER OF TIIE BONNY-
MUIR RADICALS.
STIRLING, JULY 14.

The Court met this fcirenoen, at ten o'clodc, and
proceeded to the trial of John Baird, weaver in Con-
dorrat, the leader at the battle of l3onnymuir. He
is a stout smart•k.oking little man.
The whole of the other prisoners, with the excep-
tion of Hardie, who was tried and convicted yester-
day, were at the bar.

The SotAcrtmt-GENERAL brought the case against
Baird before the:Jury in a speech of considerable length.

A number of witnesses were then called for the
purpose of Proving the publication of the treasonable
Address; that a conspiracy was formed against the
life of his Majesty; that thepersons seized at the
skirmish of Bonnymuir were levying war against the
King; • and that the prisoner was one of the number
concerned in these treasonable proceedings.
Mr. JEETREY addressed the Jury for the prisoner
in a very eloquent and-ingenious speech. He did not
deny that the evidence went the length of proving the
prisoner to have been present at the affair of Bonny-
weir, but contended that there was nothing in that to
constitute the crime of a treasonable levying of war.
The• Lord Justice CLERK charged the Jury.
SATURDAY, JULY 15.—This morning, at two
o'clock, the Jury returned into Court with a verdict
of—Guilty. -
-It is thought probable that the Sittings at Stifling
may beshortened, by some of the prisoners concerned
in the affair at Bonnymuir throwing theinselves on
the mercy
-of their country.

In the Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, on Friday
last, John Sharp was convicted of firing a loaded

tenced to be executed at Glasgow, on Wednesday,
the 16th of August. •
