This sergeant was one of Lieutenant Algernon Ffinch's men who were searching for Jacobites in Scotland following the battle at Culloden Moor in 1746.
He led the men into the cottage in which Colin McLaren was hiding with piper Jamie McCrimmon, the Second Doctor and Ben. He took them to the gallows and was about to hang them, but he was stopped by Solicitor Grey, who bribed him to let the prisoners go into his custody. The Sergeant later found his commander, Ffinch, had fallen into a pit, and only helped him out after Ffinch promised to pay him. (DW: The Highlanders)
