Sure, TY.

I have more detailed information which possibly could help.

Drummond's print for John Keed in the Edinburgh chapbook gives the murderer-- John Mauge, the murdered-sweetheart-- Anne Knite, and the date- since Saturday the 20th would be June in 1744, the printing should have been made in July, 1744.

It would seem unlikely that a printer would falsely give such detailed information without it being true. As far as I know- no one has found any corroborating information -- yet :)
