Lowrie Macwill o' Powmuddle, Chancellor. John Stoupie, Clerk.
Powmuddle.
In this case there's nae argument,
Nae minor, and nae major,
A chield had taen a glass, and had
A towzle wi' a gauger;
That there's nae proof o' robbery,
To see, I think, ye canna miss,
Sae we the pannel man acquit,
No guilty, Sirs,—Unanimous,
Demi Chorus by Five Jurymen.
Unanimous, Unanimous,
Double Chorus by Ten Jurymen.
Unanimous, Unanimous,
Grand Chorus by the whole Fifteen.
Sae we the pannel man acquit,
No guilty, Sirs,—Unanimous.
(The Verdict is returned, Caliendrosus Maximus reads—in a passion.)
