Scotch Marriage and Murder Trial in City Court
In Scotland last Thursday John Lord Sinclair wed Margaret Countess of Southesque. On Friday John Osborne, Lord Provost and High Sheriff, presided over the trial of journeyman shoemaker John Cryftie for the murder of George Crookbane, a perfumier, in the city streets. Advocates argued the court’s competency to try when prosecution by indictment and the sentence of death were involved, contending statutes fix the sheriff’s power.
