Convict Notes
23—High Court of Justiciary. —This day Daniel Brown, John Kerr, and Elizabeth Clark, all young persons, were placed at the Bar, charged with house-breaking and theft, and with being habit and repute thieves. The two boys pleaded Guilty the crimes libelled, but denied the habit and repute. This being the first trial under the statute last Session respecting juries in criminal cases, the jurors were determined ballot. The Hon. Patrick Stuart Eaglescairnie, and Mr John Baird, iron founder, were ordered to be fined for non-attendance. The prisoners having adhered to their plea, in presence of the Jury, the Lord Advocate passed from the aggravation, and restricted the libel.—They were sentenced to transportation for fourteen years.
