James Tulloch, theft and housebreaking,  Caledonian Mercury, 18 Sep 1815. James Tulloch, travelling shoemaker, was then called to the bar, accused of breaking into the shop of Mr M'Combie in Croft-head of Cabrach,  and abstracting goods to the value of about £4, besides   10s. in silver and some copper. The prisoner pleaded guilty to these charges, and the Deputy Advocate having restricted the libel to an arbitrary punishment, he was sentenced, after a suitable address from the Bench, to 14 years of transportation beyond seas. Caledonian Mercury, 2 Oct 1815.
