ion along with him, (but spoke to none of them,) about mid-day,
and that they passed him as he was lying upon the same hill; and that
both times that same day, that he had occasion to see the said Duncan
Clerk and his companion, he was lying in a little hollow upon the side
of the said hill of Galcharn, in such a manner, as he thinks, neither
the said Duncan Clerk, or his companion did see him: And depones, That
there was no long heather in the said hollow where he was lying:
Depones, That after the man in blue fell, in manner above mentioned,
the panel Duncan Clerk, and his companion, went up to him; and as it
was the deponent's opinion the man was dead, he saw them stoop down,
and handle his body; and while they were so employed, he, the deponent,
and his companion, got up, and made off: Depones, That he did not
mention any thing of the premises to any body for nine months or a
twelve month, and then he spoke of it to one Donald Cameron, and to
Duncan Cameron, a different man from him above mentioned, who advised
him to say nothing of it, as it might get ill-will to himself, and
bring trouble on the country; some people that he told it to said, that
people would not believe him, but rather think he was telling lies:
That it was six months after what he saw, and has deponed upon, that he
heard that Serjeant Davies was amissing. And being interrogate for the
panels, depones, That he came to the said hill of Galcharn, and lay
down in the hollow about two hours after sun-rising; and depones, That
he and his companion were, the night before the twenty-eighth of
September aforesaid, in Glenbruar Braes, which is about ten miles
distant from the hill of Galcharn; and that he left these braes about
the end of said night; and that the travellers that he expected to pass
that day were Donald Cameron, who was afterwards hanged, together with
some of the said Donald's companions from Lochaber. _Causa scientiae
patet._ And this is the truth, as he shall answer to God. This
deposition signed by the sworn interpreter aforesaid.

DUNCAN CAMERON, in Dunan, aged twenty-eight years, unmarried, solemnly
sworn, purged of malice and partial council, examined and interrogate,
Depones, That in the summer after he had heard that one Serjeant Davies
was amissing, Angus Cameron, a preceding witness, told the deponent
that he saw Duncan Clerk, and anothe
