Document 99, Letter from Mr Letteney to Mr Heron,8 July 1788, p 1

| Ra Heron Esqr* | Dr Sr | |||
| Newcastle upon | Errington ats Anysley & ors. Inclosed you have a | |||
| Tyne | copy of the issue*, as drawn by Mr Chamber, but Mr Solcr | |||
| General objecting, and I think with propriety to the | ||||
| words scor'd under, in red ink, the issue is not yet setled | ||||
| Mr Solcr Genl will alter it today in such manner as | ||||
| he thinks it ought to go down and if the Plt Agent | ||||
| 8 July 1788 | does not approve of it, we must go before the Master | |||
| Mr Letteneys Lre | to have it setled by him. Shou'd the words, scor'd | |||
| under, be permitted to stand, I suppose 2/3ds of Hexham | ||||
| shire will attend, with Witnesses, to prove Damages | ||||
| sustained by individualls. We have consented, as usual | ||||
| in such cases, that the Office copies of the pleadings | ||||
| may be made such use of, as the Parties may | ||||
| think proper, at the Trial instead of examd Copies. | ||||
| No Consent or Agreemt whatsoever, that the witness | ||||
| Deposns are to be used in Evidence, instead of examg | ||||
| the Witnesses viva voce. That cou'd not be done by me. | ||||
| Mr Errington has not fixd on a 3d Councell. I suppose | ||||
| he leaves that to you, and you cannot take | ||||
| more proper Man, by the hand, than Mr Holroyd. | ||||
| Solcr Genls engagemts have prevented our Meet | ||||
| about the evidence, necessary to be produced at the [??] | ||||
| on the part of the Defendt. But this morning he [has?] | ||||
| assur'd me, that he will appoint to Morrow Eveng in | ||||
| Case his Honour shou'd not sit on his petitions. If he | ||||
| shou'd, then he will [find?] an Hour, on Thursday. The Case | ||||
| being to be tryd at Carlisle, where Mr Solcr will certainly | ||||
| attend, no Chy Breif was laid before Mr Law. Tho' strictly | ||||
| speaking Davidsons evidence might, I think, be objd | ||||
| to, yet I am inclin'd to think, it would not be expedient | ||||
| to do it. However this is for Councell to determine upon. | ||||
