Convict Notes
In March 1850 at the High Court of Justiciary, James Hendrie and Daniel Charles McIntosh were charged with 'falsehood, fraud and wilful imposition' and 'forgery and uttering' of false orders - often called a 'long or short term fraud'. In October 1849, the accused Hendrie rented a cellar in Leith on the pretext for storage of butter for Scott & Co, grocer in Stockbridge. According to the Indictment, both accused then made extensive orders for a whole range of foodstuffs and commercial goods (including 'revolving pistols') with suppliers based throughout England and Glasgow. After complaints of non-payment were received by Leith Police from suppliers, Leith Superintendent Grant tracked down both accused and recovered some foodstuffs and goods at railway stations before the disposal. The accused McIntosh pleaded guilty and was sentenced to imprisonment for 9 months; and the accused Hendrie received transportation for 10 years - see Scotsman newspaper 16 March 1850 p 3 on 'High Court of Justiciary - Extensive Fraud'.
