The Glasgow prison to Edinburgh transfer precedes transport to a life penal colony for Hickie and two others convicted of Green’s murder on the Edinburgh and Glasgow railway. The royal prerogative of mercy commuted the sentence. Also recounted are curious incidents of a servant maid seeking a chimney sweep, a violent riot in Airdrie, and police cavalry response.
