A reprieve! a reprieve! Yes Adjudication of the premium
put off for a whole year! yesterday came a letter from Charles
copying one from Tribolet announcing the news.
If I write three lines more it is as much as I
shall be able. I am writing upon Mrs Lind's harpsichord
she strumming thereon — the animal is improv'd amazingly
Letty chattering just by — Miss Borthwick pouting with a
swelled face
Brereton's affair is coming on before the Privy
Council. Lind is his Council and the ruling one. It was
to have come on last Wednesday, but is put off. It come
on next Wednesday I think it is or Thursday. By Brereton's
affair do you know what I mean? I mean the sentence
given against Capt. Brereton of the Duke. I do believe
by what I hear from Lind that the Court exceeded his
authority. But the Council doubts whether it is competent
to give him redress. But if it should give him redress
in point of Law, by pronouncing the proceedings of the Court
Martial informal, what will that better him in point
of honour?
