| Description | Affidavit of George Alderson Robson of Reeth gentleman. He was subpoenaed to attend the Sessions to be held at Northallerton on 7 April 1869 and stayed the previous night at Leyburn, in order to be ready for the 6 a.m. train the next morning. He was not called in time for the first train but left Leyburn by the 8.45 a.m. train which arrived in Northallerton about 30 minutes late.
