I received a Letter from my good and respectable
Friend, Mr Carew, Member for Titchfield, He tells me
that he has consulted several Acts of Parliament on
the Subject; He also applied to some Eminent Barristers
his acquaintance, and their unanimous opinion
coincides with your's to the letter vizt that a
Prosecution not begun within a year of the supposed
Commission of the Crime, can never after take
place, now from your & their Concurring Testimony
I am satisfied as to that point. The only remaining
doubt, as Mr Carew hints, now is, whether or not
some Prosecutions unknown to us may not have
commenced in Westminster, or some of the County Courts
that take Cognizance of such Affairs. I earnestly
therefore request that you may give me this additional
Proof of your Friendship to make or cause to
be made the due Researches in the above Places,
and to acquaint me with the Result.
Any expence attending the Enquiry I shall
chearfully pay to your Brother the Colonel who
will with me here on his way to England
the ensuing Winter. Believe me, Dear Sir, with —
gratitude and Sincerity
Your obliged Servt
