Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the proceedings of two trials that took place in Scotland in 1817. Alexander McLaren and Thomas Baird were both indicted for sedition. McLaren was accused of delivering a speech at a public meeting in December 1816, in which he criticized the government and called for parliamentary reform. Baird was accused of printing and publishing an account of the meeting, which included McLaren's speech. The trials offer a fascinating insight into the political and social climate of Scotland in the early 19th century, and the ways in which the government sought to suppress dissent and maintain its authority. The author provides a detailed account of the evidence presented at the trials, including the speeches of the defendants and the cross-examination of witnesses. He also discusses the legal issues that arose during the trials, and the significance of the verdicts in the context of the broader struggle for political reform in Scotland.
