@delboy1978uk Working tonight so l'm passing out but I'm sure they're easily found. It was pretty interesting that there seemed to be nothing in Sept 1878, then investigations in Oct 1878, and by the start of Feb 1879 the verdict was read (unanimously guilty) & everyone involved was in jail.

@delboy1978uk Ok so, I'd taken more articles than I'd thought. The jailing of the #GlasgowBankers really interested me. If anyone would lik any of the articles in this thread typed up for an easier read, let me know.

From the 'Glasgow Herald,' 2nd of October, 1878 we have this:

@delboy1978uk According to the 'Glasgow Herald,' 25th of October, 1878, the #BankOfGlasgow goes into liquidation.

@delboy1978uk Again the 'Glasgow Herald,'is on the case for the date 16th November, 1878. Bail is denied to those directors, &c., accused of fraud and embezzlement.

@delboy1978uk The 'Evening News and Star,' 1st of January, 1879, tells us about the indictments served.

@delboy1978uk 'Evening News and Standard,' 2nd January, 1879, gives us more detail on the indictments served to the bank's directors.

@delboy1978uk 'Glasgow Evening Citizen,' 23rd of January, 1879, without mentioning who, tells us a Scotch marquis and earl are going to be finding life difficult for a bit due to the #GlasgowBank

@delboy1978uk 'Glasgow Evening Post,' 31st of January, 1879, tells us who exactly is up for trial and with what representation.

@delboy1978uk Back to the 'Glasgow Herald,' for the 1st of February, 1879 and the decision has been made against those involved. Unanimously found guilty by a jury of their peers, we're told the sentence is yet to be decided.

@delboy1978uk Finally, we have the result of the trial courtesy of the 'Evening News and Star,' 3rd of February, 1879. It can't help but be pointed out how swift justice appeared to be in this case.
