JURY COM; EDINBURGH, MAI' !1;

TIM pAinry UNION BANK COMPANY AGAINST JAM/11

morF AT, alias JAMES M'COUL.
This case, which has excited so much interest
throughout the United Kingdom, owing to the de;
fender's connection with the late Ile'cy
name of no mean celebrity in the English criminel
' calendar, carne on beiore this Court this morning,
and attracted a crowded auditory. The Jury having
been
:called over, and the issues read,
Mr. COCKBURN opened the case for the pursuers.
On the evening of the 13th, or in the morning ''of the
14th of July, 1511, the pursuers, his clients, had their
banking-house, at least the branch of it in Glaisgowi
robbed of notes and specie to a considet'able amount;
and the accusation against the prisoner, which they
would have to tty, was-Ist, That :le, on the said
12th or 13th of July, in the said year, actually did
commit the rubbery; that he was cow:en- 'd with
others in committing it ; and that he became un-
lawfully possessed of part of the money stolen—.
that is, with a guilty knowledge of its 'being stolen.
—The offence, as he had stated, was committed in
Glasgow in July, 1811. In the same year the defen-
der was suspected of being concerned in the robbery,
and in 1812, he was apprehended, and committed to
Glasgow jail. He was afterwards liberated, and went
to London. In the years 1513 and 1815 he was at
Leith, where he again underwent an examination on
the charge of being concerned with two other per-
sons in the same robbery which forms the ground of
this prosecution. Be would not trouble them with
an account of the actions the defender brought against
the Bank, and other persons concerned in.apprehend-
ing him on these occasions. All this, as well as his
former apprehensions, and whatever was not tendered
them in evidence, they were to leave out of their con-
sideration. The issues to try were,
I. Was the defender guilty of stealing, or carryiil away
from the premises of the said Banking Company the property
charged?
2. Whether he received the money, or any part of it?
3. Whether the notes found on his person, or traced to 11!s
possession,- re the same that were stolen from the said banki:lg
house ?—which, in fact, was the radical question which involved
the defender in the accusation of having concern in the robbery.
A number of witnesses were then examined, u hich
occupied the greater part of the day; Among. these'
were, John Skoltock, locksmith, in London ; S ickery
and Lavender, Bow-street officers; and Mary White,
the widow of Huffey White. Their evidence proved
the connection of Moffat with White and French,
and traced their progress from Glasgow to London,
after the robbery of the Bank.
Mr. JEFFREY then spoke for damages, which the
LORD CHIEF COMMISSIONER said would be consi-
dered by the Jury.
Mr. J. P. GRANT briefly addressed the Jury for
the defender.

The LORD COMMISSIONER recapitulated the evi-
dence ; and the Jury having retired for about a quar-
ter of an hour, returned with a verdict, finding for
the pursuers in each of the three issues, but ifladipg
Me defender liable in no damages.
The trial commenced about ten o'clock in the fore.
noon, and terminated about ten at night.

We are requested to publish the following Letter
as particularly claiming the attention of those who
