After his death his body was dissected and his skeleton was suspended for display in a niche in the Surgeons' Hall in London. [47] William Hogarth included a representation of Maclaine's skeleton in the final plate of his series The Four Stages of Cruelty. Maclaine's execution was the subject of a Cheap Repository Tract of 1795, which went through several editions.

Plunkett And Macleane movie review (1999) | Roger Ebert

Maclaine was the younger of two sons of a Scots-Irish presbyterian minister, the Revd. Thomas (?or Lauchlin) Maclaine [7] of 1st Monaghan Presbyterian Church in Ireland. His mother, Elizabeth (née Milling) died when he was five or six years old, and his father when he was sixteen or seventeen. He came of a family of many ministers, his grandfather (a Gaelic-speaking clergyman in the Church of Scotland) having received a calling to Ireland from Argyllshire in 1698. [8] His elder brother Archibald Maclaine (1722-1804) was educated in Glasgow and followed his own vocation as presbyterian minister, scholar and royal preceptor in the Netherlands between 1746 and 1796, famous as the first translator (1765) [9] of Johann Lorenz von Mosheim's Ecclesiastical History (of 1726). [10] Climbing up the heavenly stairs # You know where you're going when you know where # You're going to hell # Yes, you're going to hell # You're going down a hundred and eighty degrees # You can see when you can see # You're going to hell # Yes, you're going to hell # You were weak, you were easy to squeeze # They did with you as they pleased # You're going to hell # Yes, you're going to hell # They're gonna tear you limb from limb # Because of your so-called sin # You're going to hell # Yes, you're going to hell! James Macleane', in J. Caulfield, Portraits, Memoirs and Characters of Remarkable Persons, 4 volumes (T.H. Whiteley, London 1820), IV, pp. 87-96 (Google). On 26 June 1750, Plunkett and Maclaine held up the coach of the Earl of Eglinton on Hounslow Heath. Plunkett went forward of the carriage and took hold of the postilion, so that Lord Eglinton, who was carrying his famous blunderbuss, could not fire at him without killing his own servant. Maclaine, who was behind, commanded his Lordship to throw his blunderbuss out of the chaise, or he would "blow his brains through his face". They took the blunderbuss, together with a portmanteau and 50 guineas.
