| Description | Finds one Maurice Evans in the list of the rioters and that warrants are out against him, but whether he is the person Owen mentions, he knows not. There is a mighty noise and complaint made by the officer and affidavits sworn in court about this riot. Finds it designed the government should be acquainted with it, which requires their prudent acting especially at this juncture. But what favour can be shown when he (the officer) comes in at the next quarter shall be done on Owen's account. Thinks Owen may well justify the keeping of "ye piece of timber" which Sir Arthur claims, for his patent was not issued out of a fortnight at least after the writer came to London, which was on Christmas Eve; so that the writer's right and title to it is at Owen's service. |
