told the passengers what had happened,
and showed them the bloody spectacle OF
his wife, whom the murdercrs had drag

all with stupefaction aud amazcment.
They carried him with tllem to Glasgow,
and relating the matter to the provost of

king about it, who, in three or four days,
came in person thither, being DESTROYS
of seeing the experimenting ofthis villain,
who, for so many years, had been the
pest of the western part of his kingdom.
A body of about 400 men, well armed,
set off ON horseback with the king, who
had several bloodhounds with him, and
went with the man to the wood by which
he was attacked, but found no sign of
