‘Thursday last, died at Sanquhar, William Kelloch, aged 111 years. He
served the town as one of their common officers 96 years, and his son,
now living, has served in the same station 70 years. He was a very
honest man, had his senses to the last, and never made use of
spectacles.’—_E. E. C._
[Sidenote: MAY 9.]
‘Notwithstanding the late execution of Margaret Stewart for
child-murder, yet we are told that two more new-born children have
since been found dead, with marks of violence on them.’—_E. E. C._
