Scope and Contents
Robert Watson and John Kingan had accused each other of being the authors of a series of anonymous letters circulated in Glasgow society, 1823-1825. Henry Cockburn was counsel for Watson, and complains (folio 1) that his client`s instructions hampered his conduct of the case. The facsimiles of the anonymous writer`s hand (folios 292-307) were not laid before the jury (note by Cockburn, folio 1 verso).
Printed reports of the cases (folios 308-516) are bound up with the papers.
