‘Says he saw Dr. Cameron a day or two after, who denied either he or
Fassfarn had got any money, alledging that Cluny would not give it
without orders from the Old Pretender: That the Doctor was off to Rome
(1750) to get these, with only £100 for expenses. That the following
winter he (the Informer) met Young Glengarry, who disproved this by
giving him a copy of the Accounts in Clunie’s writing of all the money.’
Here follows Young Glengarry’s _alleged_ copy of Cluny’s accounts:—
‘_A State of Clunie McPherson’s Intromissions_

‘N.B.—Young Glengary got £1,900 at Edinburgh from Mr. Mc.Dougald
at the sight of Mr. John Mc.Cleod of Nuck, Advocate, of which
Glencarney got £80 and Glencoe £50. But this money had no
connection with Clunie’s Intromissions, having been carried
to the South by Mr. John Murray.’[86] [Part of the 5,000 louis
kept by Murray?]
