Saturday 10 Oct 1818 (p. 3, col. 6) SCOTLAND. On Wednesday, the 7th inst. the Presbytery of Annan unanimously deposed Mr. James HALLIDAY from the office of Schoolmaster in Dornock, and instructed Mr. SLOAN to declare the school vacant, and to adopt the proper measures for filling up the vacancy. By the last act of Parliament respecting schoolmasters, there is no appeal from the sentence of the Presbytery, which is final. On the night of Sunday last, or early on Monday morning, the barn of Poolscroft, near Annan, belonging to Mr. John CUTHBERTSON, farmer, was broke open by some person or persons hitherto undiscovered, and upwards of twenty corn bags or sacks carried off; but what renders this theft peculiarly mysterious, the thieves had deliberately and carefully emptied the contents out of two of the sacks which were standing full, and some chaff out of the chaff bed, before taking them away. A search has been made without effect. On Tuesday the 29th ult. the Magistrates and Council of the Burgh of Annan met for the purpose of electing new Magistrates for the ensuing year, when Benjamin NICHOLSON, Esq. was unanimously re-elected Provost; Messrs. Joseph BENSON and George DALGLEISH, Baillies; Robert RICHARDSON, Treasurer; and James IRVING, Dean. And Messrs. George POOL, Cavan IRVING, and James JARDINE, were elected new Counsellors in room of Messrs. Bryce DOWNIE, George OLIVER, and John FORREST, who go out agreeably to the antient sett and constitution of the Burgh. Independently of the noise and bustle made about reform in this neighbourhood some time ago by certain persons, we believe there never were Magistrates chosen with greater unanimity than on this occasion, nor were there ever three new counsellors which seemed to possess a greater share of public confidence and popularity than is deservedly attached to these gentlemen. Inscribed upon a stone in the old churchyard of Annan:- qu a d t m p os nguis irus risti ulcedine avit. h sa m ch d l At full length.-Quos anguis dirus tristi mulcedine pavit. Hos sanguis mirus Christi dulcedine lavit. In English.-Those whom the dread serpent has nourished with his fatal charm, the wonderful blood of Christ has washed in its sweet, refreshing streams. Extraordinary Confession.-On the morning of Saturday, the 26th ultimo, the mate of a vessel, (Mr. GAMBLES) which had run a-ground at Skinburness, slept in the house of Mr. GRAVES, Innkeeper, there. On examining his pocket-book in the morning, he lost two guinea notes, which he was certain must have been extracted from it during the night. Suspicion instantly fell upon a Scotch lad, named FORSTER, who had been harvesting at Abbey-Holme, and who had likewise slept a part of the night at Skinburness-and this suspicion was greatly strengthened when it was ascertained that FORSTER had left the house immediately after the family retired to rest, refusing to assign any reason, on being questioned by a servant girl who had seen him going out, as to what could induce him to leave her master's house at that unseasonable hour of the night. A pursuit was instantly agreed upon, which was spiritedly supported by Mr. GRAVES and one or two other persons. As it seemed probable that the fugitive had crossed over to the Scotch side, they of course went in that direction, and arriving at Annan, procured a warrant for the run-a-way's apprehension. Having ascertained that he resided somewhere about Priestside, the pursuers, headed by a peace-officer, proceeded thither in a post-chaise, and succeeded in apprehending him. On returning with him to Annan, he was examined by Provost NICHOLSON, and all his personal effects, and every part of his clothes, were minutely searched, in order to find the notes; but they were not found, and FORSTER was liberated. But previous to his leaving the party, having been warmly pressed, he confessed having taken the money, and said that it was in his bed at Priestside: a messenger was instantly dispatched for the money, having been instructed by FORSTER where to find it. During this person's absence, FORSTER prevailed upon the mate to accompany him to some bye corner for a certain purpose, when he made his escape, and was pursued with alacrity to prevent his arriving home before the messenger, and taking away the money. On again searching the house, however, nothing in the shape of money or notes could found, and the pursuit was discontinued. Upon the arrival of Mr. GRAVES and Mr. GAMBLES at Skinburness, they ascertained that the money supposed to have been lost, was perfectly safe in the hands of a gentleman to whom it had been entrusted the night before. On making this discovery, they communicated the same to Joseph COWAN, constable of Annan, who promptly gave publicity to the circumstance, and FORSTER, hearing of it, returned to the bosom of his family, which he had deserted, living like a fugitive on the hills and in unfrequented places, ever since his apprehension. The Rev. George Baillie RUTHERFORD has been ordained assistant and successor to his father, the Rev. James RUTHERFORD, minister of Hounam, Roxburghshire. Edinburgh, October 4.-We are concerned to record the melancholy fate of Mr. WILKIE, at Bonnington, in the parish of Ratho. On Monday last, that gentleman having just returned from his ride, proceeded to loosen the girths, in order to take off the saddle, when his mare, a vicious animal, turning suddenly round, bit him in the belly, and lacerated him in a shocking manner. Medical assistance was called in, both from the vicinity of the place and from Edinburgh, but notwithstanding all their efforts Mr. WILKIE died on Tuesday evening, after enduring the most excruciating agony. The same animal bit one of the farm servants severely some time before, but he soon after recovered. A few years ago a brother of Mr. WILKIE lost his life by an infuriated ox.

Saturday 10 Oct 1818 (p. 2, col. 6 – p. 3, col. 1) On Monday last, the annual change of the corporate officers of this City took place, when William HODGSON, Esq., was elected Mayor; John BLAYLOCK and Joseph ATKINSON, bailiffs; John SKELTON, mace-bearer; John HOLME, sword-bearer; Robert LAMB, chamberlain; Jonathan GATE and John PORTER, coroners; Mr. W. NANSON, town clerk.—Between three and four o'clock, the Mayor elect, and upwards of one hundred friends, sat down to a good dinner at the Bush Inn; his Worship in the Chair. Among the company were, the Lord Lieutenant of the County, (who, we regret to say, is not in a good state of health) James GRAHAM, Esq., Member for Hull; The Chancellor of the Diocese; the Rev. Fergus GRAHAM; and the principal persons of Carlisle and the neighbourhood.—After the removal of the cloth, and the usual toasts relating to the Royal Family having been drank with every demonstration of respect and attachment, the Chairman gave "The Lord Lieutenant, and better health to him," which was received and pledged in the most hearty manner. His Lordship returned thanks;—and afterwards proposed "Prosperity to the Trade and Manufactures of Carlisle."—"The Member for Hull," was drank with flattering marks of approbation. Mr. GRAHAM shortly returned thanks. He felt very much flattered indeed by the notice of so numerous and respectable a company. In whatever situation in life he might happen to be placed, the nearest objects of his heart would be his home, and the friends which he saw around him,—and however he might differ in opinion with some of them, such difference should never produce in him that violence of political feeling which is not only injurious to the country, but destructive to all social intercourse.—"The Canal and success to it," was very warmly received.—The health of Sir James GRAHAM, of Netherby, having been given, Mr. GRAHAM again rose. He apologised for his father's absence, which, from circumstances, was unavoidable. He fully intended to have been present,—and Mr. GRAHAM felt assured that nothing could give his father so much pleasure as to meet the very respectable gentlemen who composed the present company.—The Chancellor of the Diocese having retired, Mr. GRAHAM begged leave to propose a toast, which he was sure would be well-received by every one present. He would give the health of a man, of whom he could say in his absence what he would not say to his face—he meant the Rev. Walter FLETCHER, Chancellor of the Diocese, "to whom," concluded Mr. GRAHAM, "I am eternally obliged." * The toast was as warmly received, as it was feelingly given.—Among the numerous toasts, were "The Members for the County"—"The Members for the City"—"The Members for Cockermouth"—"The Bishop of the Diocese"—"The Earl of Carlisle"—"Mr. RAMSHAY, and a speedy restoration of his health"—"The Duke of Devonshire"—"Mr. MACHELL, and the Agriculture of the County"—"Success to the Carlisle Cattle Markets"—"W. P. JOHNSON, Esq., and thanks to him for his exertions in support of the Savings Banks."—Mr. JOHNSON disclaimed exclusive personal merit. If any merit was due, it was due to all concerned—he believed all had exerted themselves as much as possible.—Mr. JACKSON proposed the Corporation of Carlisle—their recent exertions in the improvement of the City were deserving of the warmest thanks. The toast was drank with great approbation. The Mayor returned thanks. He begged to assure the Company, that the only wish of the Corporation was to benefit the City. They were entrusted with certain revenues for that purpose, and they were most anxious to employ them advantageously. The public might rest assured that all had been done which their income enabled them to do. The approbation of their fellow-citizens was very gratifying to them at all times.—Several gentlemen fovoured [sic] the company with a number of excellent songs; and we never saw an assemblage where harmony and rational conviviality more eminently prevailed. The Mayor kept his seat till the company finally separated, which was about ten o'clock. * Mr. GRAHAM received his school-education from Mr. FLETCHER. The Quarterly Meeting of the Carlisle Diocesan Committee was yesterday respectably attended in the Town Hall—the Lord Bishop of the Diocese in the chair. The thanks of the meeting were voted to the Rev. Mr. DODD, for his collection at Wigton, in aid of the Society:—and a supply of Bibles, Testaments, and Common Prayer Books, were ordered for the use of the Prisoners in Carlisle Jail, under the direction of Dr. HEYSHAM, Rev. W. T. BRIGGS, and the Secretary.—The Rev. Benjamin BAILEY, of Orton, and the Rev. W. SMITH, Vicar of Ainstable, have been nominated as members of the Society since the last anniversary.—See the advertisement, second page. Mr. Robert NORMAN is appointed Treasurer of the Carlisle Savings Bank. A detachment of the 95th regt. under the command of Lieutenant SNOW, marched into this City on Thursday from Liverpool, where they will remain till further orders. On Monday, Jos. FORSTER, Esq. was elected Mayor, and Henry CLAYTON, Esq. Sheriff of Newcastle.—A. SURTEES, Esq. has also been elected an Alderman of that town, vice Sir T. BURDON, resigned. Edw. SHIPPERSDON, Esq. is elected Mayor of Durham; and George BANKES, Esq. Mayor of Leeds. The loss by the fire at Hexham Abbey, is estimated at about £10,000.

Sunday se'nnight, at St. Bees, Mr. BRIGHT, to Miss Isabella JOHNSTON, both of Whitehaven. ---------- False Publication of Marriage.-We contradict the account of the marriage of John CHAMBERLAIN to Ann CHATTERTON, inserted in our paper of Friday last, and since copied into others. Finding that this was one of the numerous hoaxes which annoy public journalists, and frequently interrupt the peace of families, we were determined, for the sake of our brother editors and the public, to trace the manuscript, which was falsely signed, to its author. With some industry we effected this, and obtained sufficient evidence against a young man of this town, who however, most positively denied it in every stage of the inquiry. At our request, on Wednesday, Sir W. BARTON issued a summons for his appearance before the Mayor on Thursday. He appeared accordingly, and, on the complaint being stated, acknowledged the offence, hoping it would be overlooked; he had known others to insert false marriages with impunity, and intended no harm; he was sorry he had done so. His apology was all we required; but the Mayor severely reprimanded him, stating, that, as it was a gross public offence, which ought to be brought before a jury, he should hold him to bail to answer any indictment we might prefer against him at the Quarter Sessions. The young man was then taken into custody until bail should be given, of which information was sent to his friends.-Liverpool Mercury.-We insert this by way of caution to the numerous thoughtless block-heads who are in the habit of frequently practising the same imposition in this neighbourhood, under all kinds of devices and signatures.-We were deceived in a very recent instance, but we have our eye on the person, and assure him, that if he again attempts a similar trick, it is more than probable that he will be detected. His punishment shall be as severe as the law allows, nor shall that punishment take place in secret. DEATHS. This week, in this City, Ann SMITH, aged 64 years. At Penrith, on the 24th ult. Thomas HALL, aged 12. He was unfortunately playing with a horse, which struck him, and he soon after expired.-Same place, on the 29th, Mable TODD, aged 50. On the 25th ult. Mr. John BARNS, of Maryport, aged 78 years. At Whitehaven-Mr. John HODGSON, collector of the harbour duties of that port.-Tuesday, Mr. Thomas DAWSON, aged 68. At Appleby, on Sunday last, Mrs. RUSSEL, wife of Mr. RUSSEL, mercer, aged 24. Last week, at Douglas, Isle of Man, Mr. M'KNIGHT, a native of Galloway, but late a woollen-draper at Dudley, in Essex. On Thursday week, at Hall Warberthwaite, Miss Hannah SHARPE, agad [sic] 16 years. Wednesday se'nnight, at Lancaster, on the accouchment of her 13th child, aged 40, Mrs. MASON, wife of Thomas MASON, Esq. of Lancaster, merchant. The 10th inst. aged 71, universally respected, Stephen JACKSON, Esq. forty-three years Editor of The Ipswich Journal. On Saturday, at Upton, near Pontefract, aged 74, Mrs. Ann TOOKEY, relict of Mr. TOOKEY, an eniment [sic] coach-spring and file smith.-This eccentric character ordered her coffin to be made some days before her death, and actually made her own shroud. The 22d ult. at Pickering, Yorkshire, aged 73, Wm. MARSHALL, Esq. author of many celebrated agricultural works. At Okerland, near Hexham, Nicholas RUDDOCK, many years an eminent solicitor in the latter place. At Pisa, about three weeks ago, the most celebrated vocal performer which England ever produced, Mrs. BILLINGTON. In the painful task which so frequently devolves upon us, of recording the untimely deaths of those who have endeared themselves to society by their virtues, or directed their talents to the benefit of the community, we have seldom had occasion to notice a more melancholy circumstance than marked the close of the career of Dr. Robert MELVILL, A. M. of the College of Glasgow, and M. D. Trinity College, Dublin, (grandson of the late John BIRD, Esq. of this City, commonly known by the name of Dumb BIRD,) a professional gentleman of celebrity, who had, for many years, devoted his experience and his medical skill to the philanthropic relief of the unfortunate and the distressed. Whilst in the immediate discharge of his humane and charitable labours, like the good Samaritan pouring balm into the wounds of the afflicted, Dr. MELVILL became the victim of contagion, and a violent fever speedily terminated that existence, which he only seemed to value as it administered to the comfort of his fellow-creatures. It is afflicting to the heart to add, that his wife, whose solicitude from the first symptom of the fatal disease was incessant, could not be prevailed upon to quit the bed of death for an instant, till at last she also became the prey of the infection, and one short week saw their eyes closed for ever in the sleep of Death. This melancholy and heart-rending event took place at Moate, County Westmeath. Dr. MELVILL died on Saturday, September 5th, and his wife at the same hour on Thursday following. The circle of friendship extended as it was, and cemented by the most amiable and endearing qualities, will long lament their loss in that genuine sorrow which is too deep and heart-felt to be told in words, whilst they have left behind them a numerous infant family to mourn over a calamity which dissolved in an instant the tenderest and fondest links of affection, and left them in a state of orphanage as afflicting as any that the Book of Life has yet disclosed. At the village of Ruthwell, last week, aged 62 years, Mr. Stewart LEWIS, a most singular and eccentric character; and certainly the first of all the minor Poets who have appeared in Scotland these many years.-He was a native of Ecclefechan; and his father, who was of jacobitical principles, named him Stewart, after the unfortunate House of that name: he had a brother, who was called Charles, after Prince Charles, commonly called the Pretender. The life of poor Stewart was chequered in the extreme. In his early years, he herded cows in the neighbourhood of Ecclefechan.-Shortly after, he engaged in a mercantile concern near Chester, but was deceived by the villainy of his partner, who fled to America, with a considerable sum, leaving LEWIS to answer all demands. He voluntarily gave up all; but this misfortune hurt his feelings so much, that he began to live rather freely-a habit which he never afterwards could relinquish. After some time he returned to Scotland, and married the first and only woman he ever loved. He then travelled for some time in Dumfries-shire, selling cloth, and occasionally cultivating his vein for the Muses. When Lord Hopetoun raised his fencible regiment, he entered into that corps, and continued till they were disbanded in 1790. He then got employment from Mr. MELVILLE, in Dysart, at a spinning mill near Leslie; he remained there four years, and then went to Glasgow: being unable to procure employment there, he proceeded to Edinburgh, where he resided many years, living chiefly upon what his Poems produced, which his wife went about selling. She, however, died in the spring of 1817, and he continued to lament her loss till the last moment of his existence. After this, the life of Stewart had something truly romantic in it. He travelled vending his productions, along with his son; but, from a principle of modesty, always the companion of real genius, he never applied personally to any one; when he came near a house of respectability, he sent a card by his son, hoping they would purchase a copy. After nearly twice completing the tour of Scotland, he fell sick and died at Ruthwell, as above mentioned. What is very singular, he is interred in the same grave which contains the remains of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. While Stewart lived in Edinburgh his house was the common report of the students from Dumfries-shire. In the summer of 1817, he travelled all over the Highlands. During the present year LEWIS perambulated the counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, and Durham, Berwickshire, Fifeshire, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire, and lastly Dumfries-shire.-He wrote "Fair Helen of Kirkconnel Lee," the "African Slave," and several other pieces of merit. He has left one son and three daughters. His funeral was respectably attended; and we understand that a stone is to be erected to his manes, by the admirers of this singularly unfortunate Bard.

Saturday 03 Oct 1818 (p. 2, col. 5-6) On Tuesday last, Mary BROWN and Jane PARKER, were committed to Carlisle gaol, charged with stealing a coat from David DUCKETT.-On the 24th ult. Margaret DARLEY was likewise committed for stealing Cotton Weft from Messrs. John and Daniel HEWSON, of this City, manufacturers. On Monday last, the Hon. H. C. LOWTHER was elected Mayor of the Borough of Appleby. On Monday, a bricklayer, employed in a new house now erecting by W. HODGSON, Esq. at Stanwix Bank, fell from a chimney at the top of the building, but he fortunately lighted on a beam of the second story, and did not receive much injury. His son, who was attending him, was so much alarmed at his father's fall, that he tumbled after him, and, happening to pitch upon a door which lay across the beams, was not at all hurt.-On Tuesday, a man named KNIGHT, a carpenter residing at Denton-Holme-Foot, fell from the roof of a building in Shaddongate, to the ground. He was very much injured, and his life is despaired of. The fine scenery of Gilsland, no less than its healing waters, still continues to attract company. A considerable number of persons, also, are yet enjoying the benefit of the sea breezes on the coast. The weather is unusually favourable. On the night of Wednesday se'nnight, the shop of Mr. Thomas MARK, of Thursby, was broken into, and robbed of some silver and copper. The thieves first tried to enter at a back window, but failing in the attempt, they endeavoured to make a hole in the end of the house:-being likewise foiled in this, they at length accomplished their purpose by breaking open the shop window in front. The red-breast has been heard in Cumberland for three weeks past, and the swallows are congregating and leaving the North. This has not occurred so early since the years 1775 and 1798. A greater number of persons have visited the Lakes this year, than was ever known before in the same space of time. During three weeks of the last month, 300 pair of post horses passed the turnpike gate leading from Kendal to the Lakes. Fire at Hexham Abbey.-On Thursday week, about four o'clock in the afternoon, a destructive fire broke out in this edifice, the Seat of T. R. BEAUMONT, Esq. M. P. for the county of Northumberland. The accident appears to have originated in a badly-constructed chimney, in the housekeeper's room, where a fire had been burning the whole of the day. The flames were first observed bursting through the roof by the gardener, who gave immediate alarm;-they soon raged with great fury, and not a fire-engine could be obtained nearer than Newcastle! After the arrival of the engines, the flames were soon subdued, and a great part of the building was saved. The damage, though considerable, is not near so great as was at first reported: very little of the furniture was destroyed. The family were absent at the time. In the night of Wednesday se'nnight, an attempt was made to break into and rob the house of Mr. Alderman SORSBIE, Newcastle-on-Tyne, by a gang of robbers. One of the villains had got on the top of an out-house, with the view of entering by a sky-light, when he was shot by Mr. S.'s man servant, the only male in the house. The wounded wretch immediately fell, and rolled from the top of the out-building to the ground. His companions succeeded in carrying him off, but his hat was left behind; and the great effusion of blood indicated that the wound was of a formidable nature.

Strange things happened on the internet last night! I posted two transcriptions - Scotland News and Arthuret Hills. Arthuret Hills made it onto the Rootsweb lists, but only the one from the Westmorland list made it back to me (but there was a response from someone on each list). The Googlies list never received it. Scotland News made it through to the Googlies list (but never came back to me). It never arrived in the Rootsweb list archives at all, so I am resending it.

LATE on Friday night, or early on Saturday morning last, the shop of Mr. John YOUNG, Grocer, in Dornock, was broken into, and some cash, tobacco, and other articles, carried off. The thieves have not yet been discovered. The instruments employed in breaking the wall were the tooth of a harrow and a bolt of iron, which they had wrested from a gate belonging to the Rev. N. SLOAN. The following Latin inscription, written in elegant Sapphic verse, is copied from an ancient tombstone in the Church yard of Dornock:— "Here lyes William ALLISON, late Minister at Dornock, who dyed September 27, Anno Domini 1683, ætatis 63. Integram vitam, scelerisque puram, Degit, et cordi fuit ore verbum, A Deo dictum, populo dicare, Nomine Christi. Virtus ast mentis, pietas, honestas, Non valent, fluxam stabilire vitam;— Fluxit, A corpus, sociâ beatâ, * Conditur humo. Sic transit Gloria mundi!" * Alluding to his wife, who was interred in the same grave. JEDBURGH, Sept. 16.—The Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened here this day, by the Right Hon. DOUGLAS, Lord Reston, one of the Lords Commissioners of Justiciary.—William RENWICK, horse-dealer, in Bewcastle, Cumberland, accused of horse stealing, was put to the bar, and pleaded Not Guilty. The indictment stated that RENWICK having, on the 6th day of August last, sold a poney to John HARPER, cattle-dealer in Hawick, entreated him to allow him to ride that poney, or another horse, to Galashiels; that Mr. HARPER consented to allow him to ride a bay mare, provided he did not go off a walk with her, and sent along with him a boy, to whom he committed the charge and custody of the mare; and that RENWICK, after proceeding with the mare all that distance from Darnick, attended by the boy, suddenly started away, and absconded with her. The usual interlocutor of relevancy having been pronounced, and the libel remitted to an assize, the prosecutor proceeded to lead evidence in support of it; but having failed to prove that the mare had been put under the charge of the boy, or rather, as it appeared, that RENWICK had been intrusted with her himself as far as Galashiels, and the boy had only been sent to bring her back from thence, and as it farther appeared that RENWICK's intentions were fair at the outset, the prosecutor gave up the case after adducing two witnesses.—Verdict, Not Guilty. After receiving a proper admonition from his Lordship, for the indiscretion and breach of trust he had been guilty of, RENWICK was dismissed from the bar. Court of Justiciary, Dumfries.—On Monday last, the Circuit Court was opened at Dumfries, by Lords Hermand and Reston. Margaret SWEENY, or SWINEY, was charged with stealing a web of linen, in the parish of Kirkcudbright, in May last, from A. CHARTERS, and found guilty—transported for 14 years. Janet HANNAH, charged with concealing her pregnancy, and murdering her child. The prisoner pleaded guilty of the concealment, but denied the murder. 12 months imprisonment in Kirkcudbright tolbooth. Jane THOMPSON, of the parish of Rerwick, charged with the same offence as the preceding prisoner. She also pleaded guilty to the minor offence, and was sentenced to six months imprisonment. Jane RAE, of the parish of Cumbertrees, was indicted on the same charge, and pleaded not guilty, but her trial was postponed on account of the absence of witnesses. William THORBURN, charged with stealing a watch from Mr. James PARKER, innkeeper, of Twynholm, was acquitted. Thomas JOHNSTONE, accused of theft and housebreaking, was acquitted in consequence of a flaw in the indictment. John HALLIDAY, prisoner in the jail of Dumfries, accused of attempting to set fire to the farm-house of Revox, in the parish of Moffat, the residence of his wife, on the 29th of January last, was next put to the bar. This was rather a curious case:—The pannel has long exhibited marks of insanity, and was for some months confined in the Bedlam of the Dumfries and Galloway Infirmary. On being discharged from this place of confinement, he departed for Glasgow, but was apprehended on the warrant of a justice of peace, and brought back to Dumfries-shire, after having been only a few hours in that city. But having again run away to Glasgow, he called on Baillie Wm. THOMPSON, an old acquaintance, who introduced him to a Mr. EDMONSTONE, a friend of his, as a proper person to show him the town, who accordingly took him to the Glasgow Lunatic Asylum, "as the best place for having an extensive view," where he was detained, till the 20th Dec. 1817. It is not uncommon, we believe, in case of mental alienation, for the malady of the patient to turn on a single point, but HALLIDAY's crotchet, it appears, is rather an unlucky one—namely, that of a deep-rooted aversion and hatred to his wife, a most respectable woman, whom he formerly loved tenderly, and with whom he lived very happily for many years. In consequence of these circumstances, the friends of HALLIDAY attempted to cognosce him in May last, before the sheriff of Dumfries-shire, but failed in the attempt, as the jury found eight to seven that although there was evidence of insanity at the time he attempted to set fire to Revox, there was no proof that his mind was disordered at the time of trial. This verdict having freed the pannel from the controul of his relations, he was continued in prison, upon a warrant at the instance of the public prosecutor, for the crime of wilful fire-raising. It was, of course, this charge alone that brought HALLIDAY into the Justiciary Court, and the facts connected with this part of his history will be best collected from the depositions of the witnesses.—Joseph CLARK, stocking-maker in Moffat, deposed, that he is acquainted with Mr. HALLIDAY, the pannel. Remembers having seen him at Moffat in the beginning of January last, when he asked witness to accompany him to Revox the next day, where he wished his assistance, or at least his presence, whilst he attempted to recover some receipts and other documents. He accordingly followed him to Revox the next day, when he was introduced to five men who had come on the same errand. The pannel having by some means obtained the keys, took some bonds from a chest of drawers, and then desired him and the other men to set about removing the drawers, with several other articles out of the house, which they refused to do. Mr. HALLIDAY then went out, and in a short time returned into the kitchen, from which he carried off a lighted peat with a pair of tongs. Witness asked him what he was going to do with the lighted peat? when he answered it was none of his business. Witness followed him into a garret-room, where he put the burning peat into a tub, amongst some straw, and upon being spoken to as to the folly and danger of his conduct, he turned to witness with the tongs in his hand, and in rather a threatening manner, dared him to intercept him. Witness being rather intimidated by this strange conduct, went down stairs to procure the assistance of the other men. Having found John RENWICK and George PROUDFOOT, two of the other men, they returned to the bottom of the stairs, when they saw the pannel standing at the top with the tongs in his hand, threatening any one who dared to ascend. In the meantime, Walter ANDERSON, farm servant at Revox, who had seen the smoke, and heard that HALLIDAY was attempting to set fire to the house, having procured a ladder, entered by a sky-light into another garret; and witness saw nothing farther until he beheld ANDERSON and HALLIDAY lying at the bottom of the stairs: the former being uppermost. Witness then assisted in tying pannel's legs with a rope, who made little resistance. He was afterwards unbound upon his promising to return peaceably to Moffat, which he did. Witness did not go up stairs again, and saw nothing farther. He is of opinion that pannel was not in his right mind at the time, and ascribes his extraordinary conduct to this cause. In the neighbourhood it was generally understood that he was insane, and this is the reason none of the men would obey him in removing the furniture.—George PROUDFOOT, carpenter in Moffat, being sworn, corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness in every particular. He also stated some new facts. When witness and the rest of the men declined removing the furniture, the pannel said he had brought six men to help him to do that, and now they refused. To this the men answered, that they had come to witness the recovery of his papers, and not to carry away furniture. Witness assisted in extinguishing the fire in the garret; thinks the pannel is an insane person, and one whom it is unsafe to leave to his own guidance. In returning to Moffat, he avowed his object in carrying away a burning coal, and said he was authorised to burn the house by a lawyer in Dumfries, as there was no other way of rooting out the family. (Loud laughing.) He also spoke of planting a cannon for the purpose of battering down the house.—The case being perfectly clear, and the fact of the prisoner's insanity undeniable, neither Mr. HOPE, the public prosecutor, nor Mr. MAITLAND, the pannel's counsel, deemed it necessary to address the Court; and Lord Reston, in shortly charging the Jury, stated, as the probable result of their verdict, that HALLIDAY would either be imprisoned for life, or handed over to his friends, upon their binding themselves to be responsible for the regularity and inoffensiveness of his conduct.—HALLIDAY was, however, again brought to the bar on Tuesday, when he was ordered to be detained in the Jail of Dumfries, until surety be found to the extent of £200, that he shall be kept in such custody as to prevent him from doing harm either to himself or the public.—Here the criminal business ended. Melancholy Accident.—On Saturday last, as a little boy, about seven years old, son of William FRASER, in the parish of Morton, was playing on the banks of the Nith, at Rosehill, near Thornhill, he unfortunately fell in and was drowned. The body was some time after seen to float past Blackwood, but although the most diligent search has been made, no further trace of it can be discovered. Dumfries and Galloway Horticultural Society.—Thursday week, being the sixth Anniversary Meeting of the Dumfries and Galloway Horticultural Society, a very fine show of fruit was produced in the Trades'-hall, when premiums were awarded—For the best Apples, to W. MOFFAT, gardener to P. JOHNSTONE, Esq. Carnsalloch; second best do. to James WEBSTER, gardener to J. H. MAXWELL, Esq. Munshes.—Best Pears, to J. ADAMSON, gardener to D. H. CRAIK, Esq. Arbigland; second best do. to J. WEBSTER, gardener, Munshes.—Best Plums, to ditto; second best do. to J. ADAMSON, gardener, Arbigland.—Best Peaches, to do.—Best Grapes, to J. WEBSTER, Munches;—and a Medal to Mrs. SINCLAIR, for best home-made Wine.—A basket of three kinds of Cape brocoli and three kinds of onions, all of very superior quality, was produced by J. ADAMSON, gardener, Arbigland, for which a premium was awarded. James BOGIE, gardener to Mrs. MAXWELL, Terraughtie, produced one dozen of the fine new apple formerly named by the Society the Terraughtie pear main. The tree was found a few years ago in a hedgerow at Terraughtie, and was transplanted into the garden; grafts have been taken from it, and the apple is now very much improved in size and beauty; the weight, in general, is 6½ oz. and measures 9 inches by 10½ inches in girth. A medal was awarded to the gardener last year by the Caledonian Horticultural Society; it was thought one the finest new apples yet produced in Scotland.—The following office-bearers were chosen for the ensuing year;—President—His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry.—Vice-Presidents—The Marquis of Queensberry; Admiral Sir Wm. JOHNSTONE HOPE, M. P.; D. H. CRAIK, Esq. of Arbigland; Peter JOHNSTONE, Esq. of Carnsalloch; J. Herries MAXWELL, Esq. of Munshes; Peter LAWRIE, Esq. of Ernespie.—Council or Committee of Management, and Judges of the Prize articles—Sir R. LAWRIE, Bart, of Maxwelltown; William BAILLIE, Esq. Sheriff-substitute; John SYME, Esq. of Ryedale; Wm. MILLER, Esq.; John HANNAH, Esq.; Mr. Adam RANKINE; Mr. C. SMITH; Messrs. John LARMONT, sen. Wm. MOFFAT, John ADAMSON, James KENNEDY, Thos.

Saturday 26 Sep 1818 (p. 4, col. 6) ARTHURET HILLS. SWEET Arthuret Hills! I love to see, As rising in the misty sky; Tho' volumes sad they speak to me, Of friends deceas'd and days gone by! Their pine-clad heights in darkest green Look o'er the Solway's silv'ry tide; While in the lowly vale between, The fane ascends in humble pride. Oh! land belov'd of hill and dale,- Land where the daring bord'rer dwelt, Which still supplies the Poet's tale, That makes the soft-ey'd maiden melt. The sister rivers Esk and Lyne, As pouring forth their chrystal stores, Thro' sinuous vales their streamlets twine, While peace attends their sylvan shores. Not southern scenes so gaily shine, Nor to my mind a theme supply, Tho' richer views their charms combine, To raise the soul and please the eye. Ye scenes of youth still fondly lov'd, My heart with soft remembrance thrills; Tho' pleasure's fled, and friends remov'd, Still I find joy in Arthuret Hills! Carlisle, Sept. 16. ARTHURENSIS. Arthuret is situated in the most northernly part of the County of Cumberland. It is a Rectory under the patronage of the GRAHAMs, of Netherby. It is remarkable for two beautiful hills clothed with wood, which being situated in flat country, are visible at many miles distance. It is supposed to owe its derivation from Arthur's Head, having formerly been on the banks of the Solway Firth, though now it is some miles distant, the sea having receded considerably; and the hills in question, are supposed to have been ballast hills. The church is a venerable and spacious Gothic structure, situated in the hollow ground, nearly between the two hills.-In the church-yard is interred the noted Archy ARMSTRONG, Jester to Charles II., who was a native of this parish. It is something remarkable, that this County gave birth to the first Poet Lauret, (SKELTON) and the last Royal Jester. Here, also, many worthy characters are interred, amongst whom we may enumerate the late exemplary Pastor of this Church, J. JAMES, D. D., and his son, Hugh JAMES, M. D.

Saturday 26 Sep 1818 (p. 3, col. 5-6) SCOTLAND. LATE on Friday night, or early on Saturday morning last, the shop of Mr. John YOUNG, Grocer, in Dornock, was broken into, and some cash, tobacco, and other articles, carried off. The thieves have not yet been discovered. The instruments employed in breaking the wall were the tooth of a harrow and a bolt of iron, which they had wrested from a gate belonging to the Rev. N. SLOAN. The following Latin inscription, written in elegant Sapphic verse, is copied from an ancient tombstone in the Church yard of Dornock:— "Here lyes William ALLISON, late Minister at Dornock, who dyed September 27, Anno Domini 1683, ætatis 63. Integram vitam, scelerisque puram, Degit, et cordi fuit ore verbum, A Deo dictum, populo dicare, Nomine Christi. Virtus ast mentis, pietas, honestas, Non valent, fluxam stabilire vitam;— Fluxit, A corpus, sociâ beatâ, * Conditur humo. Sic transit Gloria mundi!" * Alluding to his wife, who was interred in the same grave. JEDBURGH, Sept. 16.—The Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened here this day, by the Right Hon. DOUGLAS, Lord Reston, one of the Lords Commissioners of Justiciary.—William RENWICK, horse-dealer, in Bewcastle, Cumberland, accused of horse stealing, was put to the bar, and pleaded Not Guilty. The indictment stated that RENWICK having, on the 6th day of August last, sold a poney to John HARPER, cattle-dealer in Hawick, entreated him to allow him to ride that poney, or another horse, to Galashiels; that Mr. HARPER consented to allow him to ride a bay mare, provided he did not go off a walk with her, and sent along with him a boy, to whom he committed the charge and custody of the mare; and that RENWICK, after proceeding with the mare all that distance from Darnick, attended by the boy, suddenly started away, and absconded with her. The usual interlocutor of relevancy having been pronounced, and the libel remitted to an assize, the prosecutor proceeded to lead evidence in support of it; but having failed to prove that the mare had been put under the charge of the boy, or rather, as it appeared, that RENWICK had been intrusted with her himself as far as Galashiels, and the boy had only been sent to bring her back from thence, and as it farther appeared that RENWICK's intentions were fair at the outset, the prosecutor gave up the case after adducing two witnesses.—Verdict, Not Guilty. After receiving a proper admonition from his Lordship, for the indiscretion and breach of trust he had been guilty of, RENWICK was dismissed from the bar. Court of Justiciary, Dumfries.—On Monday last, the Circuit Court was opened at Dumfries, by Lords Hermand and Reston. Margaret SWEENY, or SWINEY, was charged with stealing a web of linen, in the parish of Kirkcudbright, in May last, from A. CHARTERS, and found guilty—transported for 14 years. Janet HANNAH, charged with concealing her pregnancy, and murdering her child. The prisoner pleaded guilty of the concealment, but denied the murder. 12 months imprisonment in Kirkcudbright tolbooth. Jane THOMPSON, of the parish of Rerwick, charged with the same offence as the preceding prisoner. She also pleaded guilty to the minor offence, and was sentenced to six months imprisonment. Jane RAE, of the parish of Cumbertrees, was indicted on the same charge, and pleaded not guilty, but her trial was postponed on account of the absence of witnesses. William THORBURN, charged with stealing a watch from Mr. James PARKER, innkeeper, of Twynholm, was acquitted. Thomas JOHNSTONE, accused of theft and housebreaking, was acquitted in consequence of a flaw in the indictment. John HALLIDAY, prisoner in the jail of Dumfries, accused of attempting to set fire to the farm-house of Revox, in the parish of Moffat, the residence of his wife, on the 29th of January last, was next put to the bar. This was rather a curious case:—The pannel has long exhibited marks of insanity, and was for some months confined in the Bedlam of the Dumfries and Galloway Infirmary. On being discharged from this place of confinement, he departed for Glasgow, but was apprehended on the warrant of a justice of peace, and brought back to Dumfries-shire, after having been only a few hours in that city. But having again run away to Glasgow, he called on Baillie Wm. THOMPSON, an old acquaintance, who introduced him to a Mr. EDMONSTONE, a friend of his, as a proper person to show him the town, who accordingly took him to the Glasgow Lunatic Asylum, "as the best place for having an extensive view," where he was detained, till the 20th Dec. 1817. It is not uncommon, we believe, in case of mental alienation, for the malady of the patient to turn on a single point, but HALLIDAY's crotchet, it appears, is rather an unlucky one—namely, that of a deep-rooted aversion and hatred to his wife, a most respectable woman, whom he formerly loved tenderly, and with whom he lived very happily for many years. In consequence of these circumstances, the friends of HALLIDAY attempted to cognosce him in May last, before the sheriff of Dumfries-shire, but failed in the attempt, as the jury found eight to seven that although there was evidence of insanity at the time he attempted to set fire to Revox, there was no proof that his mind was disordered at the time of trial. This verdict having freed the pannel from the controul of his relations, he was continued in prison, upon a warrant at the instance of the public prosecutor, for the crime of wilful fire-raising. It was, of course, this charge alone that brought HALLIDAY into the Justiciary Court, and the facts connected with this part of his history will be best collected from the depositions of the witnesses.—Joseph CLARK, stocking-maker in Moffat, deposed, that he is acquainted with Mr. HALLIDAY, the pannel. Remembers having seen him at Moffat in the beginning of January last, when he asked witness to accompany him to Revox the next day, where he wished his assistance, or at least his presence, whilst he attempted to recover some receipts and other documents. He accordingly followed him to Revox the next day, when he was introduced to five men who had come on the same errand. The pannel having by some means obtained the keys, took some bonds from a chest of drawers, and then desired him and the other men to set about removing the drawers, with several other articles out of the house, which they refused to do. Mr. HALLIDAY then went out, and in a short time returned into the kitchen, from which he carried off a lighted peat with a pair of tongs. Witness asked him what he was going to do with the lighted peat? when he answered it was none of his business. Witness followed him into a garret-room, where he put the burning peat into a tub, amongst some straw, and upon being spoken to as to the folly and danger of his conduct, he turned to witness with the tongs in his hand, and in rather a threatening manner, dared him to intercept him. Witness being rather intimidated by this strange conduct, went down stairs to procure the assistance of the other men. Having found John RENWICK and George PROUDFOOT, two of the other men, they returned to the bottom of the stairs, when they saw the pannel standing at the top with the tongs in his hand, threatening any one who dared to ascend. In the meantime, Walter ANDERSON, farm servant at Revox, who had seen the smoke, and heard that HALLIDAY was attempting to set fire to the house, having procured a ladder, entered by a sky-light into another garret; and witness saw nothing farther until he beheld ANDERSON and HALLIDAY lying at the bottom of the stairs: the former being uppermost. Witness then assisted in tying pannel's legs with a rope, who made little resistance. He was afterwards unbound upon his promising to return peaceably to Moffat, which he did. Witness did not go up stairs again, and saw nothing farther. He is of opinion that pannel was not in his right mind at the time, and ascribes his extraordinary conduct to this cause. In the neighbourhood it was generally understood that he was insane, and this is the reason none of the men would obey him in removing the furniture.—George PROUDFOOT, carpenter in Moffat, being sworn, corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness in every particular. He also stated some new facts. When witness and the rest of the men declined removing the furniture, the pannel said he had brought six men to help him to do that, and now they refused. To this the men answered, that they had come to witness the recovery of his papers, and not to carry away furniture. Witness assisted in extinguishing the fire in the garret; thinks the pannel is an insane person, and one whom it is unsafe to leave to his own guidance. In returning to Moffat, he avowed his object in carrying away a burning coal, and said he was authorised to burn the house by a lawyer in Dumfries, as there was no other way of rooting out the family. (Loud laughing.) He also spoke of planting a cannon for the purpose of battering down the house.—The case being perfectly clear, and the fact of the prisoner's insanity undeniable, neither Mr. HOPE, the public prosecutor, nor Mr. MAITLAND, the pannel's counsel, deemed it necessary to address the Court; and Lord Reston, in shortly charging the Jury, stated, as the probable result of their verdict, that HALLIDAY would either be imprisoned for life, or handed over to his friends, upon their binding themselves to be responsible for the regularity and inoffensiveness of his conduct.—HALLIDAY was, however, again brought to the bar on Tuesday, when he was ordered to be detained in the Jail of Dumfries, until surety be found to the extent of £200, that he shall be kept in such custody as to prevent him from doing harm either to himself or the public.—Here the criminal business ended. Melancholy Accident.—On Saturday last, as a little boy, about seven years old, son of William FRASER, in the parish of Morton, was playing on the banks of the Nith, at Rosehill, near Thornhill, he unfortunately fell in and was drowned. The body was some time after seen to float past Blackwood, but although the most diligent search has been made, no further trace of it can be discovered. Dumfries and Galloway Horticultural Society.—Thursday week, being the sixth Anniversary Meeting of the Dumfries and Galloway Horticultural Society, a very fine show of fruit was produced in the Trades'-hall, when premiums were awarded—For the best Apples, to W. MOFFAT, gardener to P. JOHNSTONE, Esq. Carnsalloch; second best do. to James WEBSTER, gardener to J. H. MAXWELL, Esq. Munshes.—Best Pears, to J. ADAMSON, gardener to D. H. CRAIK, Esq. Arbigland; second best do. to J. WEBSTER, gardener, Munshes.—Best Plums, to ditto; second best do. to J. ADAMSON, gardener, Arbigland.—Best Peaches, to do.—Best Grapes, to J. WEBSTER, Munches;—and a Medal to Mrs. SINCLAIR, for best home-made Wine.—A basket of three kinds of Cape brocoli and three kinds of onions, all of very superior quality, was produced by J. ADAMSON, gardener, Arbigland, for which a premium was awarded. James BOGIE, gardener to Mrs. MAXWELL, Terraughtie, produced one dozen of the fine new apple formerly named by the Society the Terraughtie pear main. The tree was found a few years ago in a hedgerow at Terraughtie, and was transplanted into the garden; grafts have been taken from it, and the apple is now very much improved in size and beauty; the weight, in general, is 6½ oz. and measures 9 inches by 10½ inches in girth. A medal was awarded to the gardener last year by the Caledonian Horticultural Society; it was thought one the finest new apples yet produced in Scotland.—The following office-bearers were chosen for the ensuing year;—President—His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry.—Vice-Presidents—The Marquis of Queensberry; Admiral Sir Wm. JOHNSTONE HOPE, M. P.; D. H. CRAIK, Esq. of Arbigland; Peter JOHNSTONE, Esq. of Carnsalloch; J.

SWEET Arthuret Hills! I love to see, As rising in the misty sky; Tho' volumes sad they speak to me, Of friends deceas'd and days gone by! Their pine-clad heights in darkest green Look o'er the Solway's silv'ry tide; While in the lowly vale between, The fane ascends in humble pride. Oh! land belov'd of hill and dale,- Land where the daring bord'rer dwelt, Which still supplies the Poet's tale, That makes the soft-ey'd maiden melt. The sister rivers Esk and Lyne, As pouring forth their chrystal stores, Thro' sinuous vales their streamlets twine, While peace attends their sylvan shores. Not southern scenes so gaily shine, Nor to my mind a theme supply, Tho' richer views their charms combine, To raise the soul and please the eye. Ye scenes of youth still fondly lov'd, My heart with soft remembrance thrills; Tho' pleasure's fled, and friends remov'd, Still I find joy in Arthuret Hills! Carlisle, Sept. 16. ARTHURENSIS.

L I N E S Composed on the death of ROBT. N. WILKINSON, aged 15 years; and GEORGE ASHWORTH, aged 18 years, who were drowned whilst bathing in Lake Haweswater, July 10th, 1874. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Death round our daily path does tend, He calls us day by day; E'er the child its feet can bend, Suddenly is snatched away. The aged on the brink does stand Fearless without dismay; Soon he hears the dread command, The summons must obey. The youth just blushing into bloom, O, what a lovely sight; But lo, he's numbered in the tomb, Cut off in all his might. We little thought when we arose Upon that fatal morn, That death around us soon would close, And lifeless corpse be borne. With cheerful hearts our feet were bent Towards the lake to bathe, But little dreaming as we went To meet a watery grave. "O mother !" was the dismal cry, "No more I'll see your face, Death now on me is drawing nigh, No more I'll you embrace." "My sisters you will grieve for me, But drop a silent tear; My brothers here no more I'll see, Those whom I loved so dear." "But do not mourn no more for me, O mother cease to greet, In heaven I hope you soon to see, At Jesus' feet to meet." Crosby Ravensworth J. D. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOCAL POLICE COURTS PENRITH – TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1. (Before J. JAMIESON, Esq., SIR H. R. VANE, Bart., SIR R. C. MUSGRAVE, Bart, REV. MALISE GRAHAM, W. HARRISON, J. THOMPSON, and J. E. HASELL, Esqs.) A GANGER’S LARK AT CULGAITH. – WILLIAM COX a ganger upon the Settle and Carlisle Extension Railway, appeared to answer a charge preferred against him by THOMAS BROWN, navvie, for having done damage to the hut in which he resides to the value of 1s. MR. T.J. SCOTT appeared for plaintiff, and MR. OSTELL, of Carlisle, for defendant. A number of witnesses were examined on both sides, and the hearing lasted a considerable time; but the facts may be briefly stated. On the 3rd of August complainant was working at a distast (?) cutting upon the line, and in his absence his wife left the hut for the purpose of proceeding to Culgaith to procure some necessaries, after locking her bedroom door. On her return she was informed that the complainant had been seen to enter the hut by a window, and upon unlocking the bedroom door, she found the defendant sitting upon the side of the bed. MRS. BROWN immediately exclaimed, “Oh, COX, what have you done this for, when you know that my husband is away?” Defendant said, “Don’t be vexed; I’ve only done it for a lark, and have done no harm.” He then left the house, and on MRS. COX examining the casement, she discovered that one of the panes had been entirely forced out. MRS. BROWN was very much annoyed, and as various rumours were set afloat respecting the occurrence, she determined to bring the case before the Bench, and state what the facts of the care (?) really were. - For the defence it was endeavoured to be shown that the window was broken seven weeks before the 3rd of August, and had never been mended, and MR. OSTELL submitted that if he proved this, no wilful and malicious damage had been done by his client, who, he admitted, had been guilty of an imprudent act, and nothing more. The evidence was exceedingly conflicting, and after a long consultation, the Bench dismissed the case. REFUSING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUPPORT OF A SON – JOHN BARNES, SADDLER, refused to contribute to the support of his boy,ten years of age, who in July last was convicted of attempting to pick pockets in the Penrith Auction Mart, and was sent to prison for a month, and ordered to be sent to the Netherton Reformatory School. - Defendant said he had a large and young family, his earnings were small, and he was unable to contribute anything - The Bench, however, ordered him to pay 1s. a week until the boy was discharged from the institution. AN OLD OFFENDER. – SARAH THOMPSON, an old dissipated-looking woman, was brought up in custody on a charge of stealing part of a round of beef and two silver skewers, the property of Major HARRISON, of Bishop Yards, Penrith. In the afternoon of the 28th day of August, Major HARRISON’s cook placed the beef, in which were the skewers in the larder, which is situated on the opposite side of the yard to the kitchen. Some time after she missed the beef, and one of the skewers having been found in De Welpdale Lane by the servant of a neighbouring lady, information was given to the police. It appeared that the same evening the prisoner who was drunk, had offered to sell the beef in a lodging-house at the Townhead for a shilling. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the robbery, was committed to take her trial at the Sessions. ========================================================== barb, ontario, canada.
