Awaiting receipt of the High Court Trial papers from Edinburgh, I will then add additional information after reading these. Notice in the Ayrshire Advertiser. Ayr High Court Reporter wrote: "Aggravated Assault" Lord Justice Clark passed sentence of 10 years transportation for the crime of "Alleged Assault" upon Margaret Warwick of The Mull of Galloway. There is an Aboriginal family with the surname Kiltie, I am trying to find out more information on why this family have this surname?. In Scotland the original spelling was Kilty but sometimes changed to Kelty, present day the spelling is now Kiltie
Robert Kilty was 16 years old, according to the National Archives of Scotland, when convicted of "Rape or assault with the intent to ravish on 10/10/1849. Robert confessed.
