On Saturday last, Roderick Ross, weaver, who had lately been liberated from Bridewell, was brought to trial by the Procurator Fiscal, for having in his possession a large quantity of base money made with intent to resemble shillings of the current coin of the realm; and for uttering a considerable part of it, knowing it to be such. On being convicted, he was sentenced by the sitting Magistrate, to eighteen months in Bridewell.
