James Carnegie was tried before the Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh in the year 1728, indicted for the murder of the Earl of Strathmore - whom he had stabbed in the stomach and caused wounds from which he subsequently died. The Earl was unarmed and there was no apparent provocation, so Carnegie was accused of pre-meditated murder.
