Macmillan, John, c 1843-1847

From a typed note pasted on the page: "Macmillan, John. Born, 1799. Ordained, 1828, by the Presbytery in Abertarff with a view to his proceeding to Nova Scotia; the same year he was settled at Ballachulish. Signed the Act of Separation and Deed of Demission. Translated to Cardross, 1844. While there he acted as a deputy to Canada, and served for some years as clerk of Synod. In 1858 Mr. Macmillan was suspended under libel, and carried his case to the Court of Session. For this appeal to the Civil Court he was forthwith deposed by the Assembly. He raised an action for the reduction of this sentence. The case- the celebrated 'Cardoss Case' - dragged on till 1862, when it was finally decided in favour of the Free Church. Mr. Macmillan subsequently resided in Glasgow, and obtained employment in the book trade."
