4brahfAl and ,Raciattel Jacek were indicted for keep.
ing a disorderly House,, the resort of teputO thieves,
pick-pockets. cheats, and other loose and improper

c-ititiactere:
The Commit SiRJRANT stated the case, by which
.it appeared,
.that the defendants were the proprietors
of tkie GA, and Horn publie.house, Duke's place,
whit!' was frequented by a number of the worst cha-
racters,
.bot particularly by. a .class of swindlers,
known by the nathe of ~Quifal, Jews, who disguised,
A s seamen, lei in wait for the unwary, and dipaiied
of watches, purporting to be of great value, when.
in fact they were worth little or welting. The house
of the defendants was a sort of mart for the sale of
these articles, and numbers bad been duped by thel
characters in quest ion. It was alledged also, that 1
upon each of the watches so sold, the defendants were'
entitled to a premthm of 2s.
Harrison, Smith, Brown, and Cartwright was.
called to prove the -facts of the case, and two of the
witnesses (Smith and Cartwright) sated. that hav-
ing one to the place in order to bring one of the
pp: before the Lord Mayor, theft prisoner was
rescued from them, and they were assailed in. the
most outrageous way by a gang. of these characters,
who beat and abesea them in the most 'violent
manner.
Mr. ALLZY made a forcible appeal to the Conn,
and contended that the facts, as alledged to 'have
been committed in the indictment, were not made
out, and that even admitting- they were, that the
offence itself was not indictahie. No man, he said,
could be responsible because bad characters regaled
in his house, or it it were otherwise, why not indict
the keepers of firth hum, the well-known receptacles
of thieves, though described to tie of such utility to
the Pulice. As well, indeed, (added Mr. Alley).
might the Jc4eperot a prison be indicted tor harbour-
ing inmates of an inchtfevnit character, for there was
as much law for one proceeding as for the other.
. The iltec tatign told the Jury, that the facts of the
. alit were not made out, and the latter, without loop
MOM acquitted the defendants. • .. 1

by in immense number of Ladies and Gentlemen;
arid the Court-room was filled a few minutes after
the doors were opened. The prisoner having been
put to the bar, and the indictment found relevant, 'a
Jury" was chosen. .
The I.OOOADVOCATIt then proceeded to call wk-
nestei in :appeal of the prosecution. The declara-
tions of the prisoner Were proved:to have been freely
and eoluntarily emitted, as also the declaration of
the deceased. The prineipal witnesses examined were
the medical gentlemen, Messrs. Macleod, Anderson.
brown, wad King, who attended the deceased ; and
Susan M'Kellar, servant to-the deceased'i father.—i
The detail of the eVidence is as follows s—The pri-•
coder and the deceased, who were upon the closest:
terms .of intimacy, had spent the afternoon of The
2d of August lair in the Trafalgar Inn, Glasgow,
where, after dinner,• they tossed who should. pay foe
the toddy, and. it falling to' Cuthil'a share, Ite•
preferred going to his father's house, be being'
then toaster of ir," his father being in London.—
A few minutes atilt eleven o'clock at night, they
reached his father'shouse, and went into the dining-
room.—Susan M'Kellar and the deceased went into
another room for a full bottle of rum, and Susan,
went to bed about•one o'clock—the deceased, in Su-
sanrs opinion, was then sober s she left a lighted lamp
and a candle unlighted on the kitchen table ; the fire
,had been previously gathered, and was not bright.:
Soon Bier She heard a cry of 44 murder," three times;
being alarmed,. ibe 'started nut of bed, and 'then

and confused.
By the evidence of Susan Nnellar, it farther ap-
peared, that White called, on. the forenoon of Sitar-
day the 3d, wishing to see Cuthil, but she would -hot
allow him ; and when she toliCuthil that White had
called, he said he wondered how he had the impu
dence to enter the door after what he had done.
White acknowledged to her, whenat the U'nr, that
he had committed ti;e deed, and Alai done it with a'
knife, and while he acknowledged the fact, he
tears. White, the same day, gaffe himself up at the
Council-Chainb:T of Ulasgove, .aod emitted two de-
clarations, one upon the Si, and another noon the
9th of August. The knife wit; found in the lobby,
near the door of the writing room.
Such was the nature of the evidence and the
only account of the transaction .that can be given
must be taken. from the declarations s.f the parties.
According to. the deceased, White WAS t.o vety
drunk that he wished him to stay all night, but vas
unconscious of having locked him into the :own
Upon hearing White making a noise, be went to the
MID door, and found it bolted on the inside; and
ifter,White had broken the patine! out of the doer,
he put in his hand and opened it. Immediately
White knocked him down with the candlestick, and
Bile then ran towards the kitchen fora tablehnife, in
'ordet:to intimidate White, who, according to his
account, was, when intoxicated, in a state ot mental
derangement; and, in this scale he could not say
whether the knife 1,-e.d fallen not of his ban.! or been
wrested from him ; he, however, accptitted White. of
any malicious or wilful intention of depriving him of
his life. He adm:tted that he was the wore of li-
'quort but not so much so its White. • The prisoner,
in his delarations, stated, that he was in such a slate
of intoxication, as to be altogether unconscious
what had happened, and jiacr no recollection what-
ever of any knife being in his han.d.

Healey was prevented from joining his companions
by the spirit of an old woman who resided on the pre.
miles intu-which they made their way trom the place
of confinement. •He was shut into a sfirlill yard,
From which there was no possibility* of slaking an
immediate escape; and of course was .obli,,ed to-
remain there till the alarm was given,'and the keepers
and officers, who assembled in great n'ombers, after
there had been a very great nett,ssity for them, at-
rived.—The following ts' the substance of the exa-
mination of Healey, who was conducted to Mr. New-
MAN'S house, wheiel• the Loan MAYOR had' already

He at.first dettied thatlte' knew any thing of a
premeditated plan to escape from prison; but when
he was asitired of hit danger in case of his ref irs7l to
declare all he knew, he became morecommonicative.
He then said, but begged tobesonderitood as a man,
not only innocent of-prison:breaking, but of the crime
for which he was confihed in that prison—that the
five men whom he followed had been working for
their escape five days, thit the horror of• transporta-
tion for life made them'desperate enough to attempt
any thing, and that it was by 'Mere accident he•be-
came acquainted with their intention. His first im-
, pulse was to prevent the crime by alarming the
keeper, but when he reflected, it did not. appear so
r great a crime. Besides, they had told him they
would just breathe the fresh air and return. In the
room where they were all confined there *as a cup-
board large enough to. contain a mean without cramps

consisted of bricks and timber, of prodigious thick.:
tress, by which a very extensive ;yea prescnted.
itself. They 14t a thin partition between them'
and, the open air, until' it was .dusk on • Sunday
evening, when they pulled it inside, and fortird

Healey was not in irons, because his legs were unfit
either for their weight or pressure; the others were ;
but Silortion Bowerman, who had a file, freed him-
self from his while the other four were mufiling their
bolts. Culliver'was the first at the. hole ; he looked
out to see whether the watchmen on the tont. of New.

to be seen. All t';,e prisoners got cut stern the top
