Another interesting debate on a point con nected with3 this subject toojj. place on Tuesday night. Lord A. lianulton brought forward a complaint against the Lord Advocate and some other judicial functionaries in Scotland, for employing undue methods in obtaining ev idence against persons accused of rebellious pisictices.
