Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, 1847, Vol. 79 Notwithstanding Charles's intercession, Montrose was not yet re leased. It is said, however, that private letters and messages passed between them; that Montrose took this opportunity of disclosing to the King the ill practices and treacherous designs of Hamilton and Argyle - and that in consequence an order for their arrest was secretly prepared. The two nobleman, together with the Earl of Lanerick or lanark, i-iami1ton's brother, apprised of the real or pretended danger, hastily left the Court, and retired to their own country houses, where they could not have been seized with out the risk of a civil war.

T tion, which was known m Scotland by the name of the Incident, ' has never been clearly explained, and admits of more than one interpretation. Its chief effect at the time, if not its secret design, was to cast a shade of doubt and suspicion on the sincerity and personal disposition of the King.
