The Trial of Archibald Stewart Esq. Late Lord Provost of Edinburgh : Before the High Court of Justiciary in Scotland for Neglect of Duty and Misbehaviour in the Execution of His Office As Lord Provost of Edinburgh

1747réf. 1502190003Edinburgh : Printed for Gideon Crawfurd Bookseller 1747-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. Fine binding. Octavo. 178 203 p. Bound in modern 3/4 light brown leather. Gilt ruled red leather spine label. Marbled boards. New end pages. Fine binding and cover. Pages lightly tanned. Lord Provost of Edinburgh in 1745 Archibald Stewart tried to organize an effective defense of Edinburgh against Prince Charles Edward who attempted to retake the English and Scottish crowns in the Jacobite Uprising in 1745. He felt it treason to raise troop without the King's warrant and sent for the King's Sanction. This request was granted and received 8 days prior Prince Charles entered Edinburgh. However though troops were raised Charles entered the city without much difficultly after negotiations failed. Stewart was afterwards arrested and taken before the Privy Council in London on 7 Dec. The consent of the House of Commons to his detention having been obtained on 10 Dec. he was imprisoned in the Tower from 13 Dec. 1745 till 23 Jan. 1747 when he was released on bail. Charged with neglect of duty and misbehavior in the execution of his office he was found not guilty on 2 Nov. 1747 after a protracted trial in Edinburgh. Though Stewart was marked by the Whigs as a traitor among some of his supporters was David Hume who wrote a pamphlet in 1748 called The True Account of the Behaviour and Conduct of the Archibald Stewart Esq. It was found later that what allowed Prince Charles to overtake the city with virtually no opposition was that the 2nd deputation upon returning from another failed negotiation was followed by Donald Cameron of Lochiel with half the Prince's army and upon the gate being lifted to allow them to enter Lochiel seized the opportunity and stormed the gate taking the city bloodlessly.

Sir Adam Fergusson (1733-1813) of Kilkerran, Ayr, Scotland [Earl of Glencairn and Lord Kilmaurs]:Biblio.com

Seven manuscript items relating to the claim of Sir Adam Fergusson of Kilkerran to the title of Earl of Glencairn and Lord Kilmaurs including a petition memoranda lists of evidence judgement.

réf. 12560Scotland and England; 1796 and 1797. The background to the collection is simply stated. On the death of the 15th Earl of Glencairn in 1796 the title became dormant. It was claimed by Fergusson praised by Boswell but dismissed by Johnson as 'a vile Whig' and derided by Burns as 'aith-detesting chaste Kilkerran' as heir of the line of the 10th Earl. Fergusson's claim was opposed by Sir Walter Montgomery Cunningham of Corshill as presumed heir male along with Lady Henriet Don sister of the 15th Earl and wife of Sir Alexander Don of Newton Don Roxburghshire. On 14 July 1797 the House of Lords Committee of Privileges chaired by the Lord Chancellor Lord Rosslyn took a view unfavourable to all the claimants and adjudged that while Sir Adam Fergusson had shown himself to be the heir-general of the 10th Earl he had not made out his right to the title. All six items in manuscript and the collection in fair condition on aged and dusty paper with occasional wear to extremities. ONE. 'The Humble Petition of Sir Adam Fergusson of Kilkerran Baronet.' 2pp. foolscap 8vo. Dated 'Ad: Fergusson. Whitehall 21st. Novr. 1796.' Noting that Fergusson's claim to 'the Title & Dignity of Earl Glencairn of & Ld.

The House of Lords Committee of Privileges on 14 July 1797 chaired by the Lord Chancellor Lord Rosslyn in deciding the claim of the first-named took a view unfavourable to all the claimants and adjudged that while Sir Adam Fergusson had shown himself to be the heir-general of Alexander 10th Earl of Glencairn who died in 1670 he had not made out his right to the title.

19th Century Scottish Farm Ledger 1845-1848

1848réf. 97631848. Full Leather. Good binding. 5-1/4" x 3-3/8." 108 pp. Full brown leather over flexible boards. Vertical red rules for accounting printed on each page. 1-3/8" strip of leather neatly removed from the fore-edge of the front cover; occasional ink spotting and minor stains throughout; toned leaves with a few creases; faded pencil calculations to pastedowns. Interesting mid-19th century farm ledger apparently from eastern Scotland possibly Inverurie or Aberdeen recorded during the great famines in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. The currency symbols at the top of the expense and income columns appear to be in pounds shilling and pence and various place and personal names which appear repeatedly in the text – i.e. Commercial Co. of Port Elfinston sic Aberdeen Wm. Duncan et al – lead to our deducing this locale. Although the ledger is anonymous the names of Robert Frasier Brach and James Dugard appear possibly as business clients as do the names of the recorder's many temporary workers. These workers usually hired around the planting and harvesting season are both male and female and include Mary Ellice Jas Marr George Dugard Wm. Duncan Alex Burr and many others. Extensively detailed and highly readable this ledger document the many expenses and income sources of a working farm showing precise amounts for equipment scythes and carts feature prominently horses bolls of meal barrels of lime whisky and various other sundries. The farm's produce relied heavily on grains especially corn and barley just as the Corn Laws were being heatedly debated in Parliament and its overall diversity demonstrates the crop diversity that allowed eastern Scotland and the Lowlands to evade the ravages of the potato blight; plots and crops for planting the "slack land" are also demarcated. Charts showing daily employee wages are also of special note. Overall a unique useful and well-maintained agricultural document concurrent with and standing in stark contrast to the devastation occurring in the western portion of the country and Ireland at that time. unknown
