<p><font color="#000000">This case, regarding which such an intense interest
has been excited, not only in Glasgow but over all Scotland, commenced
this morning before the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh. The
doors were opened at eight o'clock, when the part of the hall reserved
for the general public was instantly filled. The faculty of advocates
occupied one of the side galleries and a seat behind the dock.
To other parts of the court, admission was given by ticket and, on the
whole, the arrangements seemed to be very judicious. About a dozen
females, or perhaps we should designate them ladies, were in court,
and some of them evinced such a determination to sit out the proceedings
that they brought their work with them and commenced stitching as soon
as they sat down.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">About twenty minutes past ten o'clock, the Lord
Justice-Clerk, the Lords Ivory and Handyside took their seats on the
bench as the presiding judges. Lord Cowan was also present as
was, afterwards, Lord Ardmillan. </font></p>

Smith, a very pretty girl, was placed at the bar. She was
dressed in a white straw bonnet, black silk mantle, grey cloak,
brown silk gown, lavender gloves, and carried a silver mounted
smelling-bottle in her hand. She was pale but quite composed.
She was accompanied by a female warder.</font></p>
