Newspaper-Articles

  • 29 Apr 1835: FORGERY.
    John Macdonald was accused of forging and uttering a bill of exchange of £12 value. The bill was dated from Leachachan, parish of Glenshiel, and was drawn on Mr John Macdonald, Cooper, at the same place, and was made payable within the National Bank of Scotland's Office in Dingwall. The name of "William Morrison" was forged to the bill, purporting to be the signature of William Morrison, schoolmaster of Glenshiel. The pannel pleaded guilty to the uttering of the forged bill.
    Lord Mackenzie read the statute, passed in 1832, abolishing capital punishment for forgery, but rendering it imperative that all persons found guilty of that crime should be transported for life. The Court had no discretion, but must sentence the prisoner to transportation for the whole period of his natural life. John McDonald4
