This publication details the murder of Mr James Millie by John Henderson at Whinnny Park in Monimail, Fife. Mr Millie was born in circa 1783 and ran a damask weaving business founded by his grandfather. He resided at the property Whinny Park. He was murdered by John Henderson who was a native of Dunfermline and had been involved in various thefts and robberies prior to his attack on Mr Millie for whom he briefly worked as a journeyman weaver. The motive of the murder was theft. The publication includes a fold-out ground plan of Whinny Park and a view of Whinny Park from the west which is inserted adjacent to the title page. The publication then commences with a biography of the victim and is followed by a biography of Henderson. The next section describes the murder itself and there is a copy of the indictment. There is a very detailed report of the trial itself culminating in Henderson's confession. At the end is one page of a supplement on Henderson.
