OK, I found it and have put a picture on our web.  Is there a way to get the information in an English translation.

If you tap into www.poland.com and look for Malcolm Sinclair via a search engine

and click on kamienie sinclaira (the Sinclair stone) you will find some excellent

information on the fate of Malcolm Sinclair on the 28th June, 1739 at the hands

of Russian officers.

It is even suggested that the French merchant, Couturier, was a Russian agent

which is the first time I have heard of this theory.

The web pages also contain some excellent photographs of the monument.

It would seem that there is a lively interest in this story which augurs well for

our plan to restore the monument and more than justifies your decision to

contribute financially towards that restoration.

Good reading.

I wrote the story of Malcolm Sinclair in an article called "Murder
Most Foul" which has appeared
in a number of newsletters.  I will try to find a copy and post it
(if I can master the art) or, perhaps,
a computer whizz kid will remember the article and do it for me.
