Muir was sentenced to 14 years transportation for the the crime of sedition; for campaigning for parliamentary reform and for distributing copies of Thomas Paine's 'The Rights of Man'. His trial became one of the great sensations of the day; he was one of the group known as the 'Scottish Martyrs' who were sentenced in Scotland in 1793-4. Antipodean Books Maps & Prints ABAA; Thomas Fyshe Palmer 1747–1802 was an English Unitarian minister political reformer and convict. When agitation for political reform began in 1792 Dundee became one of its centres in Scotland. A society called the 'Friends of Liberty' was formed in 1793. One evening in June 1793 Palmer attended a meeting when George Mealmaker weaver in Dundee brought a draft of an address to the public which he purposed circulating as a handbill. Palmer revised it modifying it to a complaint against the government for war taxation and a claim for universal suffrage and short parliaments. The address was sent to be printed in Edinburgh in July 1793. The authorities were alarmed and decided to meet an anticipated revolution in time; and in the belief that they were attacking a revolutionary leader Palmer was arrested in Edinburgh on 2 August on a charge of sedition as the author of the document.
