Cross-examined by Mr. JOHN CLERK, for George Smith--Mr. Scott, you say you were present when George Smith emitted the declarations which have been shown you; did Smith, in the course of his different examinations, say anything more than is contained in these declarations? WITNESS--I do not think he did; everything material was taken down. No compulsion or undue means was used to induce the prisoners to sign these declarations. [Sidenote: Joseph Mack] 2. JOSEPH MACK, writer in the Sheriff-Clerk’s Office of Edinburgh, called in and sworn, and shown the declarations above mentioned. WITNESS--These declarations were written by me, to the dictation of the Sheriff, and were emitted by the pannels freely and voluntarily, and the pannels appeared to me to be cool and recollected when emitting them. Cross-examined by Mr. JOHN CLERK--Was everything which Smith declared when examined taken down? WITNESS--Everything that was material. With regard to the robbery of Bruce’s shop--[Here the Court stopped the witness, as that was a matter which was not before them.] The LORD JUSTICE-CLERK--Did he desire anything to be taken down that was not? WITNESS--No. [Sidenote: Thomas Longlands] 3. THOMAS LONGLANDS, solicitor-at-law in London, called in and sworn. Examined by MR. WILLIAM TAIT--Mr. Longlands, did you hear of William Brodie, the prisoner at the bar, having fled from this country in March last, and of his having been brought back? Tell the Court and the gentlemen of the jury what you know of the matter?
