Murder Conviction and Rewards in James Buchanan Case
A 1738 proclamation from Whitehall reports James Buchanan convicted of a murder on the high seas and to be executed at Execution Dock on December 20. The execution failed as Buchanan was cut down and safety concerns prompt a royal pardon offer to any involved in the rescue. Admiralty offers 100 pounds for identifying the cutter, 50 pounds for other involved parties, and 200 pounds for apprehending Buchanan.
