ref. 005679[Droit - Ecosse], Recueil des pièces présentées à sa Majesté très-chrétienne, à la Tournelle du Parlement de Paris, & à M. de Sartine, Lieutenant Général de Police ; En conséquence de deux Jugemens portés par la Cour de Session en Ecosse ; le premier daté du 27 Juillet, & le second du 11 Août présente année 1763 [etc.]. Paris, Michel Lambert, 1763. In-4, [2]-51p. Intéressant document autour d'une des plus importantes affaires du XVIIIe siècle. La sour du dernier duc de Douglas (1694-1761), Lady Jane Douglas (1698-1753) se serait mariée en secret au chevalier John Stewart de Grandtully (1687-1764), sympathisant jacobite réfugié en France. En 1748, Jane informe son frère de la naissance de jumeaux, Archibald et Sholto. Ce dernier mourra comme sa mère en 1753. Le duc refusa de reconnaître cette naissance et coupa les vivres à sa sour. Suite à son mariage avec Margaret Douglas de Mains, le duc accepta de reconnaître la naissance de son neveu. Après la mort du duc, les Hamilton contestèrent l'héritage. Bien que la cour statuât contre le neveu en 1767, la Chambre des Lords inversa la décision, sans appel possible. Les deux jugements reproduits ici indiquent que toute la procédure faite en France n'a aucune valeur en Ecosse. Une des conséquences est que les témoins des Hamilton ne pourraient pas répondre en Ecosse car, selon l'usage écossais, un témoin ne peut comparaître qu'une seule fois. Reliure bradel demi-parchemin (début XXe), titre manuscrit. Intéressant document.

ref. 11107With manuscript inscription dated 1871. 4to 2 pp. On first leaf of a bifolium. Text clear and complete. Good on lightly-aged laid paper with watermark of 'A ANNANDALE & SONS'. Stuck down on the reverse of the blank second leaf of the bifolium is a square of paper from the leaf to which it was attached in an album and beneath this square visible when held up to the light is the inscription: 'Imperfectly printed Annie Stirling Stuart Castlemilk 1871'. The poem is 48 lines long arranged in twelve stanzas. Signed 'H. M. E.' in type at end perhaps one of the Erskines relations by marriage of the Stirling-Stuart family. A lament for 'happy youth! too quickly sped Within these old grey towers'. First stanza reads: 'THE autumn winds are moaning Around the old square tower Where once three hundred years ago Was Scottish Mary's Bower.' The reference is to Cassilton Tower around which Castlemilk House was built where Mary Queen of Scots stayed on the eve of the Battle of Langside 1568. References to the 'Tay bridge' and 'great city' i.e. Glasgow. Last stanza: 'The memory of our early home Its fairest lustre shed O'er lives that blossom in good deeds That live when we are dead!' Excessively scarce: no copy in the National Library of Scotland on COPAC or WorldCat. Castlemilk House was built around Cassilton Tower which was started in 1460 on the site of a 13th-century castle. The five-hundred-year-old Castlemilk House was demolished by Glasgow Corporation in 1969 to make way for an ill-advised housing project. Castlemilk is now a district of Glasgow.
