A friend of Mr Butler's mentioned to him a man who
had been confined for four years for taking off Stamps from
old Deeds and fixing them to new ones, and descried him
to me, as this was a case that had been decided did not
by the 12 Judges as not coming under the denomination
of forgery, and descried him to me what could be done
for to pronounce the reliance of the man. Mr B accordingly
applied to the Solicitor of Stamps who seemed very much
shocked with the hardship of the case, but said that it
was a sort of thing that he never took cognizance
of, and referred him to Mr Estcourt his Deputy
upon going to Mr Estcourt he likewise deplored the
hardship of the case, but said said he had nothing to do with it, &
that application must be made to the Recorder who
had tried the man — upon going to the Recorder he likewise
said that it was a very hard case but that nothing
could be done with it. Mr Butler then went to Mr
Garrow, to learn from him, as the had in some
way or other come under his cognizance, what would be the
most advisable course to pursue to procure the
man's liberation. Mr Garrow said that all that could
be done would be procure a meeting of the Judges which
would be at an expense of £28: as this appeared
that Mr B could scarcely credit it, and immediately
went to Mr Judge Butler to ascertain whether
it were really true — Upon seeing Mr Butler told of
& explained to him the circumstances of the case and
what he had heard from Garrow and said that
if this were really so, that it was totally contrary to
his habits, yet this case seemed so extraordinarily flagrant that
he would publish it in the Newspapers
