The case became a highly sensational murder trial in Scotland in 1857. Although the evidence pointed to her gullt a verdict of "not proven" was passed by the jury. Central to the case against her were a series of letters which all featured the experimental "159" Glasgow cancel to the envelopes, the dates of which many were illegible, an aspect critised by the Judge. As a consequence, these postmarks have become known as the "Madeleine Smith" 159 Glasgow cancel. rnrnProvenance: Corinphila, 3-6 December 2019, lot 1687. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
