| Description | Letter from John Hammond at Preston to the Justices at Richmond. Leonard Holmes had warned him to attend to serve on the jury on 17 January 1814. Only last year he was warned to attend the Sessions by the bailiff at Middleham but as he had over £150 per annum he was released and returned home without serving. He had not realised that he should have got his name taken out of the "book of record" |
