| Description | The house of James McMillan in Prescot was searched and his wife, Winifred, was searched. Forged notes were discovered in her pockets. Correspondence with Freshfields relating to the case is very sympathetic towards Winifred McMillan, partly because she was a mother of four and pregnant with her fifth child, and was seen as 'the instrument of her husband', who was described as 'a bad man'. |
