| Description | Letter from George Watson to William Wailes esquire, Clerk of the Peace. Mr Dodsworth constable of New Malton wished him to sign a paper, which Mr Simpson of New Malton physician had signed, certifying his need of a chaise to Thirsk, because of his ill-health. He had agreed that this was necessary. He had also been asked if it were necessary for the prosecutors of Elizabeth Hutchinson, [Milner Wilson], Thomas Mawman and Runnell [to take counsel], and had advised it. He hopes that if a trial takes place, the prisoners will meet with their deserts, as the woman and the men appear to be notorious, and Wilson and Mawman are very dangerous. Watson is indisposed with a cold and hoarseness and will be unable to get to Thirsk. He does not know which other gentlemen will be at Thirsk, or he would have written to them also |
