R. L.

The last letter in the Appendix, p. lxxxiii (28th November), acquainting the Government with Killearn’s being set at liberty, is also addressed to the Under-Secretary of State, Mr. Pringle.

The author may also here remark, that immediately previous to the insurrection of 1715, he perceives, from some notes of information given to government, that Rob Roy appears to have been much employed and trusted by the Jacobite party, even in the very delicate task of transporting specie to the Earl of Breadalbane, though it might have somewhat resembled trusting Don Raphael and Ambrose de Lamela with the church treasure.
