138 ANNUAL REGISTER, 181$. [Oct. 



of Justiciary, at Glasgow, for 

 the murder of Andrew Love, in 

 the parish of New Monkland, in 

 the county of Lanark. From 

 the evidence adduced in support 

 of the charge, it appeared that 

 the prisoner had for some time 

 borne malice of the strongest 

 nature against the deceased, who 

 was eighty years of age, and a 

 man of the most peaceful and in- 

 dustrious habits. One Sunday 

 morning they chanced to meet 

 near a coal-pit in the neighbour- 

 hood, when the prisoner attacked 

 the deceased with a pick-axe, 

 such as are used in collieries, 

 and gave him some dreadful 

 wounds on different parts of the 

 head and body, under which he 

 languished till tlie Thursday 

 following, and then died. The 

 son of the deceased was the prin- 

 cipal M'itness ; but the whole of 

 the evidence was so conclusive, 

 that the Jury, without a moment's 

 hesitation, found him guilty. 



Lord Gillies, the presiding 

 Judge, then gave the prisoner a 

 most impressive address on the 

 enormity of the crime of which 

 he had been so justly convicted 

 by the Jury. The learned Judge 

 sentenced the prisoner to be 

 taken back to the prison, to be 

 fed on bread and water, and to 

 be executed on Wednesday, the 

 4th day of November, at 3 

 o'clock in the afternoon, his 

 body to be then delivered to Dr. 

 Jeffray, Professor of Anatomy in 

 the University, for public dissec- 

 tion. The prisoner heard this 

 awful sentence with the utmost 

 apathy. He kjpt his eye con- 

 stantly fixed on the Judge, and 

 heard the solemn address without 

 in the least being moved.

Naval force ofBuenos Ayres. — 

 The following list comprises all 

 the vessels of war regularly com- 

 missioned by the Republic of 

 Buenos-Ayres, and destined to 

 cruise in the Atlantic Ocean. 

 There possibly may be other 

 cruisers, which have obtained, 

 and still hold commissions from 

 the Buenos-Ayrean Government ; 

 but having subsequently pro- 

 cured others from Artigas, to 

 qualify them for capturing Portu- 

 guese vessels, they have forfeited 

 the former ; nor dare they show 

 themselves in any port within the 

 jurisdiction of Buenos Ayres, 

 and are liable to be captured 

 when fallen in with by the regular 

 armed vessels of that Govern- 

 ment. These are the pirates of 

 whose infamous proceedings we 

 have had so many accounts ; it 

 is with vessels of this stamp that 

 the lawfully constituted cruisers 

 of Buenos Ayres have been un- 

 justly associated in the public 

 mind, and it is for their crimes 

 that the flag of the new republic 

 has been so long and so cruelly 

 stigmatised. Besides the vessels 

 here enumerated, there are many 

 others cruising in the Pacific and 

 Lidian Oceans, some of which are 

 of a large class : —
