Excerpt from Trial of Madeleine Smith

A strangely fascinating cloud of mystery envelops the tragic and romantic story unfolded in the trial of Madeleine Smith; and to that story, in all its peculiar and distinctive features, it would be difficult to discover a parallel in the annals of our criminal jurisprudence. No criminal cause of modern times has more deeply absorbed the interest and attention of a whole empire; and day by day, during its nine days' progress, the public excitement, throughout Scotland in particular, was intensified, and the fate of the engaging and accomplished girl of one-and-twenty, whose life hung in the balance, formed the central if not the exclusive topic of current popular speculation. That the general interest manifested in the proceedings was pervaded by a feeling of sympathy for the accused was only to be expected, considering her age and sex, her social position, the gravity of the crime charged against her, and the conduct of the man, ten years her senior, with whom she had contracted the unfortunate association disclosed in the course of the trial.

Madeleine Hamilton Smith was the daughter of Mr. James Smith, architect, Glasgow, a gentleman well known and respected, and of good social standing in that city. With his wife and family of two sons and three daughters, Mr. Smith usually resided during the winter months in Glasgow, and for the remainder of the year at a country residence owned by him at Rowaleyn, near Row, on the Gareloch. Madeleine was the eldest of the family; and she was an attractive girl, possessed of a good musical and general education, and very popular in the social circle in which she moved.

Madeleine's girlhood was uneventful.
