Saturday 01 May 1819 (p. 3, col. 4) Isabella HALLIDAY, the miserable old woman whose trial, death, and burial, at Dumfries, we announced in our last, was found to be in such a deplorable state of weakness as to render it impossible to remove her from the gaol, even if a different asylum could have been found for her: but this was not the case;-although acquitted by the jury, people everywhere were so strongly impressed with the terrible nature of the crime with which she was charged, that they regarded her presence as a disgrace to any neighbourhood, and no one would have taken her in. She spoke but little from the time of her trial till her death; and although the most respectable clergymen in Dumfries attended upon her last moments, she made no confession. She seemed to feel no satisfaction in devotional exercises-and it is a lamentable circumstance, that (as reported upon her trial) she had not a bible or any other religious book in her hand during the last sixteen years. This, in Scotland, is very extraordinary, where even the poorest are in the constant habit of reading the scriptures. Two men have been committed to Dumfries gaol charged with perpetrating the murder near Moffat, mentioned in our last paper. By the death of Sir John Buchanan RIDDELL, Bart., a vacancy has taken place in the representation of the Lanark District of Burghs. No less than eight gentlemen, it is rumoured, are canvassing the different Boroughs. Mr. OWEN, of Lanark Mills, has declared himself a candidate, and has published an Address to the Electors. Two men have been convicted at the Air Circuit for housebreaking-to suffer on the 28th of May. On the 19th inst. the Hon. William Keppel BARRINGTON, the now high Sheriff of the county of Durham, was sworn into office.
