| Description | Letter from George Markham at Stokesley to "Mr Chairman" relating to the committal of David Chadwicke on suspicion of being a deserter. Chadwicke claimed that he was discharged from the 81st Regiment of Foot. Sometimes he called himself William Chadwicke, and when he left Faceby, where he had been entertained by Isaac Wilson whose cousin he pretended to have married, Wilson missed a pair of stockings and an apron. Chadwicke claimed to have served his time as a letter press printer at Halifax, but he was unable to answer questions about type and could give no account of himself |
