Questions about the end * Spoilers ahead *

------------- Spoilers ahead -------------


At the end of the film, the narrator mentions that one lord what's-his-face who was made to resign after the militia found some memoirs. However, while watching the film, I didn't come across anything and I didn't understand what they meant when they said "memoirs were found and he was made to resign."

So, my questions are:
1. Who were they talking about?
2. What memoirs were they referring to? Was it that the lordship wrote about the Burke and Hare murders that needed to be kept hidden or something about the politics involved?

Grateful if someone could help me with these. Thank you.



Nobody told me I had the right to remain silent. You're supposed to say, "you have the right to remain silent."

You have the right Donkey, what you lack is the capacity.
