TO BE LET,

For such a number of years as may be agreed on, and entered into at Whitsunday first, as to the Houses and Pasture, and to the remaining Lands at the separation of the ensuing Crop from the Ground,

THE MAINS of ROTHNEY, lying in the Parish of Insch, as presently possessed by Osbert Forsyth, consisting of nearly 50 Acres, partly Infield, in a progressive state of improvement, and capable of bearing any kind of Crop - a due proportion of Land is reserved for Turnip, and the Dung on the Farm may be had at a valuation.

There is a most commodious Dwelling House, and a compact set of Offices on the Farm, the whole covered with Slate; and a reasonable allowance will be made at the expiry of the Lease, for a Threshing Mill, if required.

Application may be made to the Proprietor, at Rothney, who will give directions for shewing the Farm.

Court of Justiciary Trials (1)

On Monday last, the Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened here by the Right Hon. Lords JUSTICE CLERK and SUCCOTH.

The Court began with the trial of JAMES FARQUHAR, late flesher in Huntly, accused of stealing a considerable sum of money from the haversack of John Rose, private in the Aberdeenshire Militia.  It appeared in evidence, that Rose met with the pannel at Bainshole, on their way to Aberdeen, and kept company together to the end of their journey.  On their arrival in Aberdeen, they went to the same lodgings, and slept in the same bed.  Early in the succeeding morning, Farquhar rose and left the house; and Rose having reason to suspect him, got up and examined his haversack, when he found that his money to the amount of about L. 20, had been abstracted and carried off.  A good deal of evidence was heard, in order to bring the crime home to the pannel, particularly as to identifying the notes, and that the pannel employed some person the same morning, to change the small notes for L. 5 ones.  After an excellent charge by the Lord Justice Clerk, the jury were enclosed, and appointed to return their verdict on Tuesday morning.

Counsel for the Crown, Mr CLEPHANE, Advocate-Depute; - for the prisoner, Mr GORDON.
