YEAR 1774. THE MURDER OF JEAN GLAIKIT THE YOUNG LAIRD MACADAM COMES DOWN AND MARRIES KATE MALCOLM THE CEREMONY PERFORMED BY ME, AND I AM COM- MISSIONED TO BREAK THE MATTER TO LADY MACADAM HER BEHAVIOUR. I look back on this year, and compare what happened therein with the things that had gone before, I am grieved to the heart, and pressed down with an afflicted spirit. We had, as may be read, trials and tribulations in the days that were past ; and in the rank ard boisterous times of the smuggli...ng there was much sin and blemish among us, but nothing so dark and awful as what fell out in the course of this unhappy year. The evil omen of daft Jenny Gaffaw and her daughter's sacrilege, had soon a bloody verification. About the beginning of the month of March in this year, the war in America was kindling so fast that the government was obligated to send soldiers over the sea, in the hope to quell the rebellious temper of the plantations ; and a party of a regiment that was quartered at Ayr was ordered to march to Greenock, to be there shipped off.
