The trial occupied eighteen hours and a half, an 4
e Court adjourned at half-past four on Wednesday
morning to half-past ten.
For the Crown—the Lord Advocate, and J. A.
Maconohii., Etoi. agent, Adam Holland, Esq. W. S.
For the prisoners—Win. Menzies, Esq., Joint agent,
William Balfour, and Robert Chalmers, &qrs., W. B.

After the Lord Advocate was he ird in answer, and
Lord 4ustice Clerk, (Lilies, and Pitinilly, delivered
their opinions, the Lord Advocate deserted the diet
against Clinton, as his information did not justify him
in detaining the Court with his trial. he evidence
of the prosecution then proceeded.
Mr. Mitchell remembers hearing. a ;wise in the
Highland Close, opposi:e Stantion's Close, in the
summer, about midnight: When he went up, he saw
one of several soldiers, a tall man, asking the Lest of
the blue jackets to turn out, and he would fight them ;
there were five or six soldiers, and about a down sai-
lors and tradesmen. Afterwards one of the soldiers,
a little man.came up with a bayonet under his jacket,
and asked them to tarn out and fight ; he did nut
hear the sailors cry any thine---they wanted to make
peace. A sailor came np, and offered the ,Wtliers
half a pint not to wrangle. (toe of the soldiers took
hold of a stoop the sailor had, and said, " Come away,
sisipmate.'"flie soldier went alongside of hint, and
all the rest followed; witness reinained at the hea I of
the dose, and shortly after he heard a nols,, and one
of the soldiers knocked down a sailor with a stnnp.
Two sailors rose up and (taloned the 'moldier into a
' Ugh house; the dour was immediately shot, and peo-
ple, as if from the inside, called out they were killing
the lad. Dews not know the lad. The crowd then
heirs' to tweak open the doors and window shutters;
saw no soldiers at this time ; witness ran up the close ;
he stood a little, and then henril one of the soldiers

that a lad fell, anti afterwards run np the close. He
heard the people call the lad Morrison ; he was bleed-

Alexander Cochran.—About seven. o'clock, on the
30th of July, Dempsey and Surrage took some whisky:.
ss they had three o: four comrades with them ; heard
a disturbance in the street, and the soldiers came to
the door which he had slut, and demanded their lodg-
ingss Robertson was with them ; the mob was abusing
theni desperately. When they caw in. one of them
atm Robertson three times on the head with a candle-
stick(& and witness pulled him into his kit-hen ; the
crowll increased, and he was obliged to go out of the
window to call di. guard. The guard turned back
for their arms, and witness went alone to the house,
and told the soldiers they were firing on their own
guard. There were three soldiers, one on each side
of* window with muskets, and one behind them ;
iliihopsey it-IS one of them, hitt does not know the other
Denvey 1)--, I'll blow your

weft all in blood when he looked into the room. The
crowd attemptel to break open the floor, and milled
eat against the bloody souls of the soldiers. The
whole of the window was smaOted in. Surrage and
nempaey lodged about a month in the house, and he
never saw any thing but jowl behaviour before. No
firing took place before the window was knocked in,
and the mob called for the bloody souls of the soldiers ;
Got tel half inutchkins that night ; some very drunk ;
Dempsey was not very drunk.

The Court accordingly met at half-pat ten o'clock
on Wednesday, when George Caseation was brought
to the bar, accused of assaulting, on the highway lead-
ing from Ayton t t Wisher, on the 12th of /lugu*
last, William Dobson, labourer at Shilhottle,in Nor
thumberland, and robbing him of a silver watch,
hat, two one pound notes, ant fifteen shillings in sil-
ver. Ihe panel pleaded guilty to the charge before
the Court and Jury, and, after a suitable ailtuonitiur,
was sentenced to transpnrtation for life.
John Dempsey and Nobert-Sariage was then brim gh
to the bar to receive sentence.
The verdict of the Jury hating been read, Lord
(litten said, it now became the duty of their Lord-
ships to give effect to the impartial verdict whirls
had been pronounced by au attentive and intelligent
jury Rfainst the very unfortunate prisoners at the bar.
He felt himself hound to say, that a fairer or more
equal trial he had never witnessed, and that the panels
had been most ably defended. He conceived and sug-
gested that the verdict of the jury bad left no alter-
native in the breasts of the Court, but they must faith-
fully administer the full penalty which the taw botlt
human and divine has denounced against the crime of
which the panels had been found guilty; and, with
the most painful feelings, he had to propose, tbat the
prisoners be taken from the bar to the place from
whence they came, and be executed in the manner
which the law proscribes, u Wednesday. the 13th day
of December next. Participating in the regret which
his learned brothers and all humane persons mast feel,
that such a solemn example should be unavoidable, he
trusted, while it would serve to convince the military
in particular, that the weapoirs which they wore were.
intrusted to them for the defence, and not for the de-
struction of their peaceable fellow-citizens, it world
also demonstrate to the other classes of his Majesty's
"abject', that the law and this administratioo of the
law are; even-handed ; and that it would serve as a
warning to all claei:s of men, not to indulge a ranco-
runs spirit, and nut to surrender their better feelings
to the in.lis:.riminate and uncontrolable fury of a tu-
multuutis indignation.
Lord PITMILIa never had addressed their Lordship'
under deeper or more acute suffering than on the pre-
sent occasion, hut it could not fail to be satisfactory
to the panels ttiesnselvee, conservative of the law of
the country, and important to the comfort of us all,
that in thin or any other criminal court never did
Counsel, Jury, and every person bound to interfere,
I onduct themselves with more ability ant! propriety
than has been exemplified by all the parties concerned
in this trial. The jury hays shown throughout Macrae
an attention that reflects on them the highest credit.
The verdict wen the only one that could have been pro-
nonneed without danger to the country. It was mar
possible to ripp ne that the peace of a pairs team
could ever he pr'o'ceed it such an oatrage and vio-
lenre has had been proved against the panels were
to pass uapunished ; and the sentence namad wee the
only one in their Lordships' power to pass on the as-
fortunate panels at the Isar.
The Loan Jes rice Cutax.—Prisoners at the bar.—
it is with the most unfeigned reluctance, I assure you,
that the (limit feel theinselvee constrained to perform
the present most painful duty. Yen hate been convicted
by the verdict of a most intelligent, patient, and at-
tentive Jury yoar countrymen. of a wilful, unjustifi-
able, and heinous murder. It is far, very fat from
my intention or wish, to aggravate the poignancy sf
that distress which I pereeise at this moment pressing
most heavily upon your hearts; hat It is my duty to
state to yon, as I stated this morning, that the unal-
terable verdict of a Jury has placed yell in a situation
which forbids you to repose with confidence on the
mercy of any earthly tribunal, and that your only
reasonable hope ennst depend on your soaldny, your •
pease with the divine Judge of all the world, to Whom
trust, sincerely, you have already directed your +ap-
plications. With the sincerert belief in the invent-
ante of the consideration to the prisoners at the bar,
in reconciling them to the jtv-tire of the sentener
whirl has been already considered and determined on
by the Cittirt, and in leading them to seek consolation
where alone it is to be found, let me again urge upon
put attention wbut bits been so properly anggsure
