Attorney General and to desire his opinion. Qu. Whether it may be advisable to Issue a Proclamation with the Offer of a Reward for apprehending Lieut. Cranstoun.
Cranstoun came to our house in the beginning of August, or latter end of July, staid with us some months, and then he said he was obliged to go for Scotland. But soon after he was gone my father, who had either heard some ill of him, or was tired of so long an affair, told me to let Mr.
The next day, being Monday, the other thirty pounds, being the remaining part of the money my mother had borrowed of Mr. Cranstoun, she paid to the footman, for fowls, butter, eggs, wine, and other provisions, brought into the house, chiefly on account of entertainments, by him. From this time to Sept. 28th, 1749, my mother continued in a good state of health.
What do you mean by "middling"? Sometimes she would say he was an old villain for using an only child in such a manner. Did she wish him to live? Sometimes she wished for him long life, sometimes for his death. When she wished for his death, in what manner did she express herself? She often said she was very awkward, and that if he was dead she would go to Scotland and live with Lady Cranstoun.
"Upon my word, Captain Cranstoun," and the handsome features of Gerald crimsoned with a feeling not unmixed with serious displeasure, "I do not quite understand you you appear to assume something between Miss Montgomerie and myself, that should not be imputed to either and certainly, not thus publicly."
But to proceed. On my writing to Mr. Cranstoun, that it would not mix in tea, he told me to mix it in gruel. I received the powders in June; but did not put any into his gruel till the 5th of August; when I fatally obeyed Mr.
We all feel that it was a great curse." D. Cranstoun, Esq.
Then my father look Mr. Cranstoun and myself in his arms, and we all three shed tears. This was a very moving scene. My father afterwards went out of the room, and fetched a silver dram-bottle, holding near half a pint, filled it with rum, and made a present of both to Mr.
Cranstoun, been affected with very violent and unaccountable prickings and heats in his tongue and throat, and with almost intolerable burnings and pains in his stomach and bowels, which used to go off in vomitings and purgings. I asked him whom he suspected to be the giver of the poison?
Gowrie only replied, ‘Up the stair!’ Cranstoun led the way, Gowrie came next; the other four must have followed, for several witnesses presently saw them come down again, wounded and bleeding. Cranstoun found Erskine, Ramsay, and Herries with drawn swords in the chamber. The King, then in the turret, he did not see.
