His name, indeed, was printed, where it may still be seen on the fourth page of the list: "James Drummond, _alias_ Macgregor, _alias_ James More, late tenant in Inveronachile"; and his precognition had been taken, as the manner is, in writing.

He had remembered or invented (God help him) matter which was lead in James Stewart's shoes, and I saw was like to prove wings to his own.

This testimony it was highly desirable to bring to the notice of the jury, without exposing the man himself to the perils of cross-examination; and the way it was brought about was a matter of surprise to all.

For the paper was handed round (like a curiosity) in court; passed through the jury-box, where it did its work; and disappeared again (as though by accident) before it reached the counsel for the prisoner.

This was counted a most insidious device; and that the name of James More should be mingled up with it filled me with shame for Catriona and concern for myself.
The following day, Prestongrange and I, with a considerable company, set out for Glasgow, where (to my impatience) we continued to linger some time in a mixture of pleasure and affairs.
