Summary:
Excerpt from Cobbett's Complete Collection of State Trials and Proceedings for High Treason and Other Crimes and Misdemeanors, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Scots Trials: in which (to do that nation right) are discovered great learning, elo quence, and strong reasoning. And indeed as the Civil Law prevails very much there, they have at least as large a field to exercise their parts and learning as our more Southern orators, who are so unalterably attach'd to their Common Law and it must be admitted, that the Party accus'd has in Scotland all the fair play imaginable he has what Counsel he thinks fit he has a Copy of his Charge in his own language his Counsel are permitted to inspect the very Depositions against him before he is brou ht to Trial and they are so little in haste to dispatch a state-prisoner, that the Tria often las'ts some months. This specimen of Scots Trials, as it will at present be acceptable to the curious; so as we have one Senate, and one Legislature, it may hereafter give birth to the introducing such Methods of Trial in each kingdom, as in either shall ap ear to be founded on the greatest reason and justice.
