ailitia,
pleaded

not guilty to the charge.
- limes Sinclair, pobee-officer, was stationed in the
Candlemaker-rnwon the night of the 2d of August ;
found a man lying on his back at the corner of the
square in Merchant-street.' Witness called for histwo
neighbouring watchmen, and a young man came up,
and upon looking in the man's face, he said he was
a Mr. Boyd, who lived in the Candlemaker.row.—
They carried him to the watch-house, and sent for a

urgeon.
Alexander Black, apothecary in Edinburgh, was
called to inspect the body in the watch-house; he
found an incision about three inches below' the left
arm r nceived the wound to be the cause of death.
• Andrew Inglis, surgeon, made out a report, upon
inspecilpg the body of the deceased, along with Dr.
Farquharson—report read ; found no external marks,
except a wound on the left side, about an inch and a
ball in width ; had passed through the lungs and
heart, and occasioned the death of the deceased ; the
- wound was in the back part of the side, about an
inch behind the left arm. Witness knows the pri-
soner, Symons ; visited him the day after he was ap-
prehended ; there were marks of at least four blows
On his head, and he also complained of bruises on the
body ; but as the witness did not afterwards attend
him, does not know what symptoms appeared after-

wards. Has no doubt that such blow's and bruises

may have stunned Symons, and made him insensible.
Captain Robert Watson, Edinburgh militia. .The
prisoner supped at the witness's house in Buccleuch-
place on the evening of the 2d- of August ; left it
about a quarter before 12 o'clock ; there were several
gentlemen and ladies present, and prisoner was per-
reedy sober ; he bore an excellent character in the rc-
iiiment, and was not at all given to quarrelling, and
is a very sober man.
Lieut. Ronaldson, Edinburgh militia, supped with
the prisoner at Captain Watson's house on the night
of the 2d of August ; there were Paymaster Paterson,
Captain Watson, and some others -present • the pri-
soner. and the witness left Captain Watson's house 20
iminotes before 12 o'clock ; proceeded down Bristo-
street and Candlemaker-row ; when opposite Pater-
son's Inn, observed three men standing at the door,
one of whom darted across the street and struck Mr.
Symons, he thinks with a stick, but, owing to the
darkness of the night, cannot say, Witness and Sy-
Mons turned round and asked him what he meant ?
He made no reply, but seized Mr. Symons by the
neckcloth. Mr. Symons told him if he did not let go
Isis held, he would run hirnthrough thebody ; but he
did not strike him. The man then struck Mr. Symons
iwith his fist several times upon the head. Witness
then went up to his two companions and desired them

: '
maker-row in search of hitn ; witness went down, and
saw a light,;' and, upon thing forward, found it was
the watchmen, with Boyd/slimly lyingnn the gtotinci;
witness never spoke to either of the officers, neither
did he see any of them strike. The night; was ex-
ceedingly dark, so as to be Impossible to have seen
them from the entry to Brown's-square.
-Ann Clark, daughter of Archibald Clark, chair-
man, residing in Brown's-square, knew the deceased
John Boyd.; saw him, on the evening of the 2d A,t-
gust, coming through the arch from lirown's.square
to the Candlemaker-row ; this was about twelve
o'clock. Saw two officers coming down the Candle-
' maker-row, and they came-against him, or he against
them. Either Boyd or they said, Hold eff, you.—
Boyd then said, There's a challenge for you, and
struck one of them. One of the officers said, Never

mind him, he is drunk ; and they passed on. Boyd
squinted, as if to go home ; but turned, and followed
them. Witness went down towards Merchant-street,
and saw Boys lying on the ground ; he was attempt-
ing to rise, and was struck down by one of the officers,
who then went away. Both officers were there ; she

was the breadth °Ellie Candlemaker-row from them.

-to take away their friend without farther scuffle ' • his
companions immediately came forward and took him
off at that time. Mr. Synictas then went to Pater.
son's Inn, in order to ascertain their names, but Pa-
' terson's people would not open the door. Mr. Sy-
mons and witness then walked d.wn the Candlcma.

lteT-row, and a man came up tmd said, You have
illaan insulted by some blackguards. Mr. Symons
said yes, you are the blackguard. The man said, no,
and to convince you I am not, ..I will take you by the
arm and e,cort you as far as the West-bow, where I
lodge. Mr. Symons desired him to go about his bu-
siness; but he persisted, in accompanying him, and
took the first opportunity of knocking. Mr. Symons
down with his fist. They had walked a good way from
Mer Chant-street almost to the entry into the Cowgate.

John Davidson, upholsterer—recollects, in com-
pany with David Hunter, of having met the deceased
and Paton, on the 2d of August, about 12 o'clock at
night, betwixt Brown's-square entry and Mrs. Pater-
son's inn. Huntep offered Mr. Boyd a glass of spirits,
and they knocked at Mrs. Paterson's door. She asked
who was there ? Answer was made, Mr. Boyd
Mrs. Paterson opened the door, but would pot admit
them. It was a vet), dark and rainy night. Paton
and Hunter were under the witness's umbrella. Two
officers came down the row ; first word the witness
heard was one of the officers saying, he had a good
mind to run 'him through the body. Witness went
forward to one of the officers, and said, If any thing-
had been done, not to nuke any quarrel upon the
street. Officer gave a civil answer, and seemed to
be disposed to bt. peaceable ; but Boyd darted past,
and gave one of them a severe blow. The officers,
being linked in one another's arms, separated ; saw
no sword drawn ; and as the night was dark, and a
threat made to draw a sword, witness went off.—
Boyd appeared to have been drinking,- and saw no
provocation given by the officers. Boyd and Paton
had been differing about some cloth, which Boyd had
swinging in his hand, that might have probably
touched the officers. Boyd had no stick. The night
was so dark it was hardly possible '.o see across the.
street. Neither of the officers desired the witness to
take away Boyd.
David Hunter, hookbinder—recollect;, in compa-
ny with John Davidson, of meeting Boyd in the Can-
dlemaker-row on the evening of the 2d August, be.
tween 11 and 12 o'clock. Boyd asked the witness to
take a glass, but upon knocking at Mrs. Paterson's
door, she would not admit them. Witness went away,
expecting they were to follow him in search of an -
other house ;saw two military officers pass him down

• Mr; SYmons,un rucoverinz himself, immediately ran
' up the street after him. -Witness remained on the spot ;
• but find. ng Mr. Symons did not return be proceeded up
the street, and met Mr. Symons coming running-down.
They then ran across the Orasmarket, and stopped in
'the West Bow, where Mr. Symons took the witness
*shy The arm ; they then proceeded towards the Castle ;
"SyMOtis said he was afraid one of his jaw-bones was
broken. On arriving at the Castle-gate, Symons got
~lrlry sick, and vomited all the Way to his room. Wit-
tiness left him after seeing him to bed. Before Mr.
Symons pursued the man, he did not see him draw
his sabre ; when he returned he told the witness he
-had drawn his sabre, and did not know what he had
done. The witness saw only one man strike • the man
who same up the second time had no stick,i and it
was near the entry to the Cowgate where he struck
)(r. Symons. (Cross-examined.) The man who
truck the first time appeared to be the same man who
ratruck the seconJ time. Mr. Symons used no violence I
OP the man who came up the second time, and sail
..Aktithing to provoke him, merely declining his corn-
, ipany, and desiring him to go away. Mr. Symons's
• ;breeches were marked with what appeared to the
witness the marks of feet ; .witness and.Symons were
perfectlysober ; has lawn five years in the corps, and
Symons bears the best of characters in the regiment ;-
. the witness never knew him quarrel.
Robert Paton, painter in Edinburgh, was acquaint-
, sid w:th the deceased John Boyd ; was in his house
on the evening of the 2d August ; witness and he
went out a little past six o'clock after having drank
tea with Boyd and his two sisters. After leaving his
house, they walked about the town, and came to the
hou4 of Mrs. Livingston, in the Candlemaker-row,
• which they left about ten o'clock ; they then went to
the'house of Mrs. Taylor, where the deceased sent
' :for half a mutchkin of whisky, which was drank by
Mrs. Taylor, her two daughters, Boyd, and the wit-
' suss.; left Mrs. Taylor's about half past ten, at which
time Boyd was hearty, but not drunk ; went up the
Candlemaker-row, and called at Archibald Clark's,
• chairman,bnt could not get.in ; they then went down
'and knocked at the door of Sutherland, a barber, but
of ould not get in; witness advised Boyd to go home;
Othey --ere then acc.ikted by a man Who knew Boyd,
Paterson'

the row, and saw nothing more ; was not two mi-
nutes in Boyd's company ; left him standing at Mrs.
Paterson's door. Does not think any one standing
in. Brown's-square entry could have seen them, the
night was so dark.
The following
.witnesses were then examined on
the part of the prisoner:
James Johnston, shoemaker, in Edinburgh, tom.
then called. He deponed as to a number of circti:..-
stances which tended to spew, that the deceased was
rather disposed to be quarrelsome. In particular he
mentioned one occasion on which he thought the de-
ceased intended to rob him of his money ; and on
the King's birth-day last, he came into a tap-roem,
along with some others, where the witness and wn-
other party were sitting, into whose box he forted
himself, leaving his own party ; that on this occa:,on
witness refused to admit him in the box on acconnt
of the above attempt to take his money, in come-
quence of which he offered to fight any person in(!lie
room on the Calton-hill, and wrote down his nSme
by way of-challenge. He was afterwards turned
out, and broke several panes of glass in the winduvii
of the tap-room, from the outside.
James Johnston, engraver, in Edinburgh, with
whom the deceased served his apprenticeship, stated,
that he was about 18 or 19 years of age when he
discharged his indenture, which he did in Aprii.or
May last, being several months before the legal tctm
had expired. Witness did this in consequence of
some improper conduct on the part of the clecered,
and he mentioned several instances of that natttre,
which occurred after he was discharged; from which
it was evident, that he was of a very violent temper ;
and frequently. disposed to be quarrelsome, without
any reasonable cause. .
Captain Alexander, of the Edinburgh militia, saw
Mr. Symonds on the morning after he received the
wound ; he was then complaining very much, and
hardly able to speak. He said he had scot for Co
lonel Inglis, as be wished to see him to tell jet
the whole matter happened, and he desired wiseesi
also to call upon him. He accordingly called,botlbe
Colonel said, as the civil power h4d lej this this 4 in.
terfered, he did not think it necessary to interfere—
Witness was the first who mentioned to Mr. Symonds
that Boyd was dead of the wound, on learning which,
he was very much agitated, and said that he was ex-
tremely sorry that he had been the cause of another
person's death ; but he was compelled to do it in
.. self-defence, having been three times knocked down
by the deceased.
i t
All the witnesses, and a number of others, aintang
whom were Lieutenant Colonel Wattchope, (Lieute-
nant Colonel James Inglis, and Sir John Hope, gave
the prisoner a most ample and unqualified character
for sobriety, regularity of conduct, and humanity t—
,and that on no occasion he had ever shewn a disposi-
lion ;a quarrel, but on the contrary was most eitcem-
plary for quietness and peaceable behaviour. '
. Loup JUSTICE Cuss, in* ifery,able and eloquent
~charge to the Jury, adverted to the importance of the
-etase now left to their decision. It had been the sub-
ject of great discussion oux of doors.; • and, no doubt,
!Alley had heard many incorrect and false represeetta-
-I.taons of the facts. These, however, they must now
i lay out of mind, and come to a deciiion upon the evi-
.dence which they had just heard. There was not
the least doubt, his Lordship observed, but the life
?,of a fellow subjecthid been taken away. and the cir-
cumstance could not fail to interest. Tbk case spews
us, that while walking the public streets ire may Meet
with our death, or something very near it. It appears

. .
'here, that the deceased wai to a certain degree ....
=Pic and any. •Maa :vshptors into' till ,ttlstVist this
situation, is gailJt of a breach of ptililtc police, and
liable tO be pfiniihed.. If peaceable;hOtwever, even-
`hi .dkise eases, they atte-silffitil'. the pratectißie dr di

on account of their situation. On' the other hand,. a
person peaceably visiting his friends, and &vim and
receiving acts of hospitality, which is certainly the
great end for which* societies are formed, is entfilid
to consider himself also under the protection of Ns
law, whether from people drunk or sober,' to go andi
return in safety. Qf the melancholy accident by
which Mr. Boyd lost his life, he must. now speak, and.
he most 'ay, that there appeared full and legal evi.'
dence that he met with his death from the prisoner at
the b2r. The evidence on this case was as full as
..a c.7.i duel*
can often be obtained in cases of murder, where it sel-
dom happens that any person has witnessed the in-
flicting the wound, or giving the mortal blow. But
this was sufficiently plain here : yet this did not ex-1 bIID
haust the case. The question still resolved itself into !
