Convict Notes
July 3. The High Court of Justiciary. Daniel Morrison, John Alexander, and Alex. M’Bean, all young lads, were next placed at the bar, accused of breaking into house of Mr Wm. Smith, Gayfield Square, and stealing several hats and great-coats, on the 1st of April; of stealing a coat and waistcoat from the house of John Sutherland, Moray Street, on the same night; and being habit and repute thieves. The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty. The witnesses were then examined, when the Jury retired, and after a short consultation, returned with a verdict, finding the house-breaking in Gayfield Square proven against all the prisoners; The second charge, of robbery in Moray Street, proven against M’Bean, and not proven against Morrison; and the aggravation of habit and repute thieves proven against the whole of the prisoners. They were then sentenced to be transported for life. The Scots Magazine, 1 July 1820.
