Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dundonnell Cause, Second Trial: Report of the Trial by Jury, Thomas M'kenzie Against Robert Roy, in the Court of Session at Edinburgh, 4th January 1831, and Four Following Days The Dundonnell Cause has, perhaps, excited greater interest, not only amongst those connected with the parties, but the public in general, than any civil cause that has ever come before a Scot tish Jury, arising as much from the importance and peculiar fea tures of the case itself, as from the Singular mode in which the former trial terminated. On Tuesday the l lth May 1 830 it was brought before the Jury Court, and, after occupying the Court for four days, the Jury, being divided, were unable to come to any de cision, and were discharged, according to the statute, at the expi ration of twelve hours from the time they were enclosed. The par ties were thus left precisely in the same state in which they were before the commencement of the trial; and, on the 4th January 1831, the case, as. Reported in the following pages, was again brought before a Special Jury in the Court of Session, in which the Lord President Hope and the Lord Chief Commissioner Adam presided.
