Unbound Pages. Condition: Very Good. Fourth Edition. Nairn and her brotherâ'inâ'law Ogilvie are tried for the poisoning of her husband, a case that scandalised Scotland with its mixture of illicit passion, family betrayal and circumstantial evidence. The proceedings, spread over several days, became one of the most sensational Scottish criminal trials of the eighteenth century. 21 PAGES, printed in double columns. A genuine 1778 printing taken from the authoritative Complete Collection of State Trials. Originally compiled to serve both as a legal reference and a vehicle of political discourse, the State Trials series shaped contemporary and subsequent understanding of justice, authority, and dissent. The generously sized sheets on which these trials are printed offer particular pleasure to the eye and hand, bearing clear signs of their handmade origin: chain lines and wire impressions from the mould are readily visible, some pages display watermarks, and the paper varies subtly in thickness, all characteristic of 18th century rag paper. This particular trial report has been preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 30 x 47 cms.

200pp, bound without final ad. leaf. Neat light brown buckram. Bookplate of the L.A. Law Library. Ownership signature on title of William Lawson of Cairnm(uir) ESTC N13789. Locked into a marriage to a man she detested, Katherine Nairn, 21, decided to kill her wealthy husband Thomas Ogilvie with a cup of tea laced with arsenic just four months after their wedding. He died in agony a few hours later on 6 June 1765. The ensuing trial at Edinburgh High Court revealed a scandalous love affair between Nairn and Ogilvie's younger brother Patrick, which under the law at that time amounted to incest. Both were convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Ogilvie was executed on 13th November but Nairn was spared until the following year because she was pregnant with her lover's child. A few days before she was due to be hanged she escaped in the guise of a prison officer and fled to Calais, never to be heard of again.

Light toning to interior, occasional light soiling, light foxing in a few places, very faint dampstaining to bottom margin of pp. 13-26, clean tear to bottom of leaf K2 (pp. 79-80), upper corner of leaf Aa2 (pp. 191-192) lacking, text not affected. Early ink corrections to pp. 51 and 137, early pencil annotations and corrections throughout. $500. * One of two 1765 Edinburgh editions. In January 1765, 19-year-old Katharine Nairn married 40 year-old Thomas Ogilvie. She soon fell in love with his younger brother, Patrick. In June the same year, Thomas Ogilvie died after a sudden illness. Katharine and Patrick were arrested and convicted of murder by poisoning. Patrick Ogilvie was hanged, but Katharine's execution was delayed when she was found to be pregnant. Placed in a lower-security section of the prison, she took an opportunity to escape and fled to France. She was never apprehended. This trial was the subject of a volume in the Notable British Trials series edited by William Roughead. An interesting feature of our copy is the extensive annotations and corrections in an early hand, likely by the printer. This may have been done in preparation for another edition that does not appear to have come to pass. English Short-Title Catalogue T51693.
