CIRCUIT INTELLIGENCE. Jedburgh, April 19. The Circuit Court was opened here on the 16th current, by the Lord Justice Clerk. The only business before him, was a case of robbery, committed by an Irishman, calling himself John Linnichen, otherwise Henry Macgraw, on the person of John Macdonald, residing in Ruthwell, Dumfrieshire, a travelling merchant aged 101 years, on the road leading from Hawick towards Rule-water. The pannel having pleaded Guilty, the Advocate-Depute consented to restrict the pains of law to an arbitrary punishment; and his Lordship, after a very appropriate admonition, sentenced him to transportation for life.
