The prisoners were indicted at the instance of His Majesty's Advocate for breaking into the gardens of *Barnton, Pilton, Barnbougle, Greycrook, Craigie-Hall, and Carlowry, and stealing thence herbs, artichock plants, sybows, i.e., young onions, and bee-hives.  They had formerly been convicted before an inferior judicature, for breaking gardens in the neighbourhood of Musselburgh; and by warrant of the Privy Council, which was produced in Court, they were sentenced to be taken to the Burrow-Muir of Edinburgh, and there hanged.
