Saturday 07 Nov 1818 (p. 3, col. 5) SCOTCH NEWS-Nov. 6. Another atrocious murder has been committed in Glasgow. While one murderer is under sentence of death, and another case is under examination before the local authorities, an old woman, in complete dotage, has been cruelly deprived of her life. This woman above 70 years of age, lived in the Tontine Close, and gained a livelihood by keeping lodgers. Friday morning, about one o'clock, her inmates, coming home, were unable to gain admission to the house. After one of her sons had been brought to the spot, the door was forced open, when the poor woman was found, lying with her hands bound with a tape, a lifeless corpse. The son immediately directed the officers of police to a house in King Street, where they took his brother, along with two women, into custody. The woman appeared to have died in consequence of blows inflicted on the back of her head. One of the women in custody is alleged to have in course of Thursday, used threatening language towards the deceased; and, when apprehended, it was discovered that a piece of tape was wanting from her dress, while that part which remained, being a string on the one side of her petticoat, was of similar description, and of exactly the same texture and length as the piece found on the hands of the deceased. Thursday morning, on a further search of the poor woman's house, a hatchet, which is said not to have belonged to her, was discovered. On Wednesday last, Mathew CLYDESDALE or CLYDSDEL, and Simon ROSS, were executed in front of the Jail, Glasgow, pursuant to their sentences at last Circuit Court-CLYDESDALE for the murder of Alex. LOVE (aged 80) collier at Laigh Drumgelloch, New Monkland-ROSS for breaking into the house of John SCOULER, Rutherglen (in company with BOYD, who was sentenced to suffer along with him, but who has been respited during His Majesty's pleasure) and stealing therefrom a variety of women's wearing apparel.-CLYDESDALE seemed to die almost immediately, but ROSS was much convulsed. Their behaviour had been rather irregular since receiving their sentence, which caused them to be put in irons for three weeks past, a thing never done before in the New Jail. On Tuesday night last, CLYDESDALE, having at his request been furnished with a bottle of porter and having taken a part of it, desired that the bottle and the remainder of the porter should be left for him, which was granted; he soon after broke the bottle and lacerated his arms therewith to such a degree that surgical aid was called in; his object being to destroy himself. It had been reported for some days, that he was the murderer, years ago, of Widow DUNCAN, at Woodend, on the Hamilton Road, but he denied all knowledge of it. He was married, and was about 35 years of age. ROSS was aged 20.
