Published accounts of Brodie are full of discrepancies and misinformation. This account is consistent with the "Trial of William Brodie" - the transcript and the accompanying introduction, written in 1906. The current Wikipedia article includes numerous apparent errors when compared with that source. The 1906 account may itself contain errors, but it seems to be very carefully reported. The statements about the will I have not yet verified, they are indirectly cited in various web sources, I haven't yet found the original. The "leap in the dark" is in the Trial, as is the reference to those particular verses from the Beggars Opera.[[User:Gareth Leng|Gareth Leng]] 14:45, 22 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
