Trial of James Young at Jedburgh Ends With Banished for Life
In Jedburgh the trial of James Young for willful fire-raising concluded with a special verdict. The panel was banished to the Plantations in America for life. Edinburgh presbytery then debated the use of Mr. George Whitefield, delaying a decision and advising brethren not to employ him. Whitefield preached a farewell sermon in Orphan Park before potentially sailing to London.
