From the British Gazetter, Nov. 16.  Edinburgh, Nov. 7. 
Yesterday one Margaret Gobson, for the crime of theft, was
drumm'd through the city in a very disgraceful manner; over
her neck was fixed a board with spring and bells, which rung
as she walked; at some inches distant from her face was
fix'd a false face, over which hung a fox's tail; in short,
she was a very odd spectacle.
