(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) Muir was tried in Edinburgh 30 Aug. 1793 for sedition, and sentenced to fourteen years' transportation. 'State Trials', xxxiii. 117 ff.; Cockburn, 'Examination of Trials for Sedition in Scotland', i. 144 ff., ii. 247-52. Kay also etched in 1793 a portrait of Braxfield (No. lxxi), the notorious Lord Justice Clerk, who conducted the Scottish sedition trials. See BMSat 8360.

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
