Order for a warrant in my favour for the £1000.
At that very time Mr Long had been taking measure was taking or had taken those

the money.
Six weeks after on my applying for the warrant, I
learnt that instead of the but with the utmost
difficulty, that instead of the warrant, there had
been a reference to the Sollicitor, that for him to find
pretences for my not having it. The discovery made,
I went to him at his Chambers. had he made the Report? — As
he had not (he said), nor ever should have made any —
why? — because I had not attended him: so that

sending me to
negotiate without
powers
When the delay thus purchased had been thus
bought run out, came the Report, and a Treasury
Letter grounded on it. The Letter was a commission
to me to inquire amuse myself with inquiries into the claims of the Copies
and report reporting accordingly: Mr Long having it at that time in black
