This broadside refers to the construction of the Links Branch railway and it was probably realised in the 1850s. Mr Duncan was indeed a railway company's director who in 1856 was involved in "the case of the rival Buchan lines" (more details on the question can be found in a broadside from our collection titled "Taking Lawless Possession").

It is a severe attack against "the Traitors" who are not telling the truth regarding the expenses incurred by the Town Council. The author, "a hater of falsehood", invites the readers to avoid any swindle that would cause a high loss in investments' profits.
