Notorious Scotish impostor fantasy exposed in trials
Long excerpt describes a defendant posing as Captain Arthur Rowan Hamilton of the 5th Dragoon Guards to seduce a wealthy Scottish heiress, forge alliances, and gain control of property and money. Investigations reveal no such captaincy, with real Hamilton brothers confirming the impostor’s deceit. He and accomplices face transport sentences after a string of related indictments and confessions.
