"The Hamilton Cause". See FAP's article in the *Juridical Review*, 1925, xxxvii.201-11. Sir Adam Fergusson, Bt., attempted to compute the numerical odds in favour of the pursuer's contention that Archibald and Sholto Douglas were identical with the abducted children of Mignon and Saucy.

The handwriting seems vaguely familiar but I have not been able to identify it exactly. Some of the hands I found it was *not* are: Sir Adam Fergusson, Ld. Hailes, Wm Nairne, Wm Wilson, Andrew Erskine, Geo. Wallace, Ld Rockville, Archibald Douglas, Sir Andrew Mitchell, Sir Alex. Macdonald, John Boswell of Knockroon, Robert Boswell, Claud Boswell. It resembles in some ways John Nairne, David Hume, Ld Dreghorn, Alex. Maconochie. We have no specimen of Andrew Crosbie's hand.
