Content Description
Reports that he was arrested last Thursday by the duchess and was held to £2000 bail, which Mr Clay and Mr Dixon paid for him; hopes that Harley will acknowledge it to Mr Neale; explains that the bailiff came just as he was among the tenants receiving rents; describes how he took the bailiff on one side and got the bail dispatched quickly; he then went back to the tenants and collected about £90; mentions that he does not want to neglect those loyal tenants who have paid rent to Harley; does not doubt that Harley will file special bail on Tuesday; has written fully to Mr Banks about the trial at the assizes; adds that he has £150 which he would have sent a bill for, but was not sure whether any was wanted at the assizes.
