It appears that your Idle Neighbours intend to deprive Sir Philip of the Benefit of his warren therefore it may [not] be amiss to be advised how to conduct the present Business and how to act in future. But if you Judge that the Case (after you have settled the Facts) shod. not be sent to Sir Philip to be laid before Mr. WALLACE or whom else he pleases, for directions, we must do the best we can at the Sessions. Had your people waited till the offenders had taken or killed a Coney in the night time – upon Conviction at the Assizes the Punishment is Transportation, Whipping, Fine or Imprisonment. You ask if all your people concerned must appear at the Sessions – all that are Bounden over must appear – and also those who can give Evidence in favour of those bounden over or Evidence against the offenders. I will be glad to see the Case after you have settled the Facts. The Sessions begin Wednesday 17th. April. It will be right for yourself, and all your people to be here the Evening before.

Sr. [Phili]p – 28. June 1776. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr DOBSON Kempton Park June 28. 1776 I about a week Since read ye Inclosed from Mr GALLOWAY, which I send you with my answer, for you to send to him if you like it. He seems to fling a little at us for our old Age &c, but that is not worth ye regard of either of us. About 10 days ago I had a good deal of discourse with Mr WALLACE about our Lawsuit. He thought we might have prevented GREENs Action, by not bringing ours on so soon, but on ye whole that I believe would have occasiond blunders without time to mend ‘em, Such as has happend lately, in regard to our declara[tion] in which no Notice was taken of CARTWRIGH[T] being a lessee of the man~or, which as things are, we had but just time to amend ye last day of last term, I belive as things are we are right enough, (barring Expences) & GREENs Action is of less consequence, as he must ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ either drop that, or his Indictments as CARTWRIGHT or LEWIS are not to be punished twice for ye Same offence. Mr WALLACE is very hearty with me & angry with GREEN, he has let Mr MORGAN see him several times for directions, settled & m[ ] for ye amendment of the Declaration, & I dare say will endeavour to conclude this affair for me peaceably or otherwise, as much to my advantage as he can, but ye less is said of it ye better as yet, as some means may be taken to perplex it, in ye Country, if our adversaries are too well informed of my proceedings, which want of time, & attention in their agents will otherwise probably prevent. We had a great rain yesterday which was much wanted, tho: it comes too late to procure me a good crop of hay, pray how has the Sewn Grass answered on Dolphenby Moor, I hope you got it cut early, the rule is as soon as ye bents flo[wer] which I fancy would be a fortnight Since ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ at [least], with you, but you[ would] not per[ha]ps, be aware of that matter. It doth not seem that LEWIS’s keeping longer out of ye way would have signifyed, as on proof of an endeavor to serve the Writ on him, The Plaintiff might have enter’d an appearance for him I recollect nothing more at present worth adding to these so conclude with my Compts to Miss DOBSON who I hope is well Yrs Sincerely [initialed] PM~
