Incendiary letter threat leads to arrest in Hurttby
In Bamburgh July 44 a threatening letter demanded money at a stated place and hour. Walter Porterfield feigned compliance then watched. Stephen Greig, a Canon Gate journeyman, arrived to collect cash and was seized. Magistrates Salem committed Greig to prison for trial, amid a flood of notices, ads, and market prices from London and beyond.
