[88] It is plain that the account given on p. 144, and said by the Informer to be ‘in Clunie’s writing,’ is absolutely wrong, cannot be by Cluny, and is meant to incriminate that chief. Not only are the 6,000 louis carried to Charles by Kennedy omitted, but the ‘treasure’ intercepted by Downan and Glenevis does not appear, while 2,000 of the 27,000 louis are left out of the reckoning. ‘The State of Clunie McPherson’s Intromissions,’ in short, is a fraudulent document. It bears traces of confused manipulation in various interests. [89] _Lyon in Mourning_, i. 310. _Antiquarian Notes_, by C. Fraser Mackintosh, p. 225. [90] _Lyon in Mourning_, i. 147.

[95] Dungallon had only been released from Edinburgh Castle in October 1749. [96] This includes the money got by Glengarry in Edinburgh, out of Murray’s original 5,000 _louis_, entrusted to his brother-in-law, Mr. Macdougal. Compare Murray’s _Memorials_, p. 304, where he denies that Mrs. Murray brought any large sum from the Highlands. The reverse is stated by Ramsay of Ochtertyre, and it is plain that, by Mrs. Murray’s means, or otherwise, a large sum was conveyed by Murray to Edinburgh.
