High Court of Justiciary. The Court then proceeded to the trial of Jean Inglis or Marshal, Susan M'Gilp ; and Helen Grant or Hughes, on a charge of theft by means of housebreaking, aggravated with respect to Marshall by her being a common thief . M'Gilp pleaded guilty generally ; The facts of the case were nearly as follow. Mrs Hughes lived in house in the High School Close, at Canongate, which was divided from a cellar of Messrs A. Melrose and Co. by a thin partition. On the 29th of November, McGilp and Marshall made an aperture in this partition, through which they and a little girl effected an entrance into the cellar, and from thence, by means of a trap door, reached the shop above, from whence they carried off silver and copper money to the amount of £15 15s. besides some cheese and almonds. After the examination of several witnesses, by whom the charges were established, the Court was addressed on the part of the Crown by the Lord Advocate, who restricted the libel, and by Mr Stark and Mr James Brown for the pannels. the Lord Justice Clerk summed up, the evidence at great length, and the Jury returned an unanimous verdict, finding, McGilp guiliy in terms of her own confession  and upon the evidence adduced,- Marshall guilty of theft by means of housebreaking, aggravated by being habit and repute a thief, and Hughes guilty, art and part. McGlip was sentenced to transportation for seven years; and Marshal and Hughes to transportation for 14 years.  The Scotsman, 30 Dec 1826.
