166pp+illus. In 1816 Patrick Sellar was acquitted of culpable homicide, real injury and oppression during the clearance of crofters from the Duke of Sutherland's estates. Was he rightly acquitted according to the law of the day? How far was the Duke implicated and what part did his wife the Countess play? How many people died in the course of the clearances, were rendered homeless or forced to emigrate? The author presents a "retrial" of Sellar in which the reader is the juryman. Includes Index. Introduction by Eric Linklater. (1st published 1962).
