in which that City stands, at the instance of the Commissioners
of Excise, a prosecution called an information

To stop prosecution

to Treasury, backed
by letters from six co-
intercessors — at the
head Dean Andrews

By Andrews's letter
not stated a belief
that defendant was not
guilty: intercessor
knows nothing about
the matter: yet is
persuaded Defendt
is not to blame

That Of the guilt of the Defendant in whose behalf he applies to save
him from trial was not guilty in respect of the offence above described
can his Very Reverend advocate does not venture to speak
of himself as entertaining so much as a doubt: Under
these circumstances the best most prudent course a man can take is
to avoid if possible understanding any thing about the business in which
he then interferes, and to declare [at any rate to make declaration to this effect] that in this endeavour
he has seconded. Such accordingly is the declaration
made by Dean Andrews this very Reverend Mediator and Advocate+
