HIGH COURTopUSTICIARY,EDINBU ROIL

On Monday the Court met to hear Counsel in
mitigation of punishment, in the case of Gilbert
M'Leod, who had been found guilty of the charges
of sedition brought against him, but recommended
by the Jury to the leniency of the Court. Mr,
MfiNCRIEFF was heard first on the part of
,the pan-
nel, in a speech of great ability, and abounding with
authorities and research. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL,
for the prosecution, replied at considerable length ;
and Mr. J Ervitay followed for the pannel, in a speech
of above two hours duratiOn, in which he argued
that the crime of which the prisoner was found
gniity, was of a nature that their Lordships could
award no other punishment than that in the Act
1703, which was by fine, imprisonment, or banish.
trent from Scotland. Their Lordships, in conse-
lc-pence of the gate: vents submitted by the Counsel
for M'Lend, acTairned Wednes2ay.,--Count ID•
TERr ETIG (son of the e,:-King of Sweckn), and Baron
POIIIALF, were on the Bnch during the Fr
The Court met on Wednesday, agreeabty to ao•
liournment.

Lord HErtmAND said, that although the arguments
for the pannel were able, ingenious, and eloquent,
they were not new ; the same arguments were urged
with great ability during the trials in 1791, and might
be consideted as set at rest. It was then found that
it was competent in the Court to iot-iret the punish-
ment of transportation for the crime of wllich the
pannel had been bond guilty. His Lordship ad-
verted to the recommendation of the Jury, and to
the panners good character, and proposed to reduce
the term of transportation, in this case,•frorn seven to
five years.
Lord Grt,Lizs took a comparative view of the case
in all its bearings, and in a speech of great length,
shewed that he had bestowed on the consideration of
all the disputed points the most patient investigation
and the deepest research. His Lordship said, he felt
it peculiarly painful to differ from their Lordships,
as he believed he would stand alone; but he had a
duty to perform, and he felt he must do it, even at
the risk Of singularity. With regard to the papers
published by the pannel, he thought all of them offen-
sive, and some of them seditious, but that the offence
of which he had been convicted,•of printing and
publishing seditious libels, amounted only to verbal
sedition ; and, therefore, its punishment was limited
by the Act 1703.
Lord PITNIILLY never entertained any doubt but
that it was competent for the Court to inflict the
punishment of transportation, and was clearly of opi-
nion that this case, being one of a most aggravated
nature, was liable to that punishment. •
. Lords SUCCOTH and AlEAoowaAtqa were of the
same opinion.
The LORD JUSTICE CLERK discussed the question
at considerable length, with his accustomed perspi-
cuity and talent, and coincided in opinion with the
majoi ity of the other Judges as to the term of punish-
ment. —His Lordship then pronounced sentence on
M'Leed, that he should be transported beyond seas,
for tke.space of five years, with the usual certification.
