Isobel Wilson, spouse of Adam Robertson, wright in Duddingston, called in and sworn.

Examined by the Solicitor-General — Pray, madam, do you remember anything of two persons coming to your house in the month of March last?

Isobel Wilson — I did not remember, at first, anything of the matter, but having afterwards seen John Brown [a succeeding witness] in the Sheriff-Clerk’s Office, he mentioned some circumstances which passed upon the occasion, which brought to my recollection that there were two persons in my house at the time you mentioned, and I think that Brown was one of them. They called for a bottle of porter, which they drank and paid for, but I do not recollect anything else that passed upon the occasion.
