A search having been made, there were found in his possession, along with many treasonable letters, several sheets of paper containing no writing. They were addressed to the King of Spain, however, and bore the signatures and seals of the three chief Popish lords Huntly, Angus, and Errol.
Bothwell, Huntly, Atholl, and others who were at Holyrood when Rizzio was murdered, finding it impossible to go to the Queen's assistance, and fearing to share the secretary's fate for the palace was a-swarm with the murderers' men-at-arms had escaped by one of the windows.
He next went to the Makam Lĕbai Salâm the grave of an ancient Saint and here he bathed in a well hard by, dressed himself, and eat half a tin of Messrs. Huntly and Palmer's 'gem' biscuits, which he had brought with him. Having completed his toilet, he returned to Haji Mih's house and cried out: 'Where are those my enemies, who engaged me in fight a little while agone?
He no sooner fully comprehended them, than he looked at me with some inquietude and surprise. "Huntly," said he, "are you mad? What has filled you with these hideous prepossessions? Much havoc has indeed been committed in Chetasco and the wilderness, and a log hut has been burnt, by design or by accident, in Solesbury; but that is all.

Now, my Whitehaugh at Huntly Burn yielded at last set £4 per acre. I looked into my cash and found £53 had diminished on the journey down to about £3. In former days a journey to London cost about £30 or thirty guineas. It may now cost one-fourth more. But I own I like to pay postilions and waiters rather more liberally than perhaps is right.
I heard his name mentioned, but they said he had started for Philadelphia the day before the theft." At this announcement, in spite of himself, Hadley drew a sigh of relief, and as he did so Bill gave Dick a knowing look. Hadley replied: "Perhaps the name was Huntly?" "That's it!" said Bill; "that's the name; I remember it now." "I should hardly have thought him capable of such a crime."
Two hours before her death she spoke apart for a whole hour with Lord James. According to Knox, the Regent admitted the errors of her policy, attributing it to Huntly, who had deserted her, and to "the wicked counsel of her friends," that is, her brothers.
