I have in my hand £9 — — — for Dunwich which you can lay 

 out — and if the Colonel should have exceeded the above sums it does not 

 matter his own Land Tax can cover it — his own Road Tax for Ald- 

 brough is £. 13 — 6 — 8 per annum. If I could get the Sheriff to a settle- 

 ment for Aldbrough there would be several pounds more. He has not 

 yet accounted for the IMonies at the first sales notwithstanding he pledged 

 himself at the last assizes to do so, which you perhaps recollect. There 

 was £. 37—10 — which he laid out on the Swamp Eoad in DunM'ich.

 a jury wWl be there several of the Grand Jurors here declare they will 

 not attend. 



Yours truly,

 ing their desire to be conspicuous in evincing sound loyalty to our 

 Cracious King, and firm attachment to our Glorious Constitution. After 

 ten o'clock the throng rapidly increased : large parties on horse-back, from 

 the most distant parts of the settlement, made their appearance; then, 

 came a noble body of loyal subjects, who had commenced their route from 

 Middleton, and were joined by large parties on the Talbot Eoad from 

 thence to St. Thomas ; they arrived on the ground horse and foot, bear- 

 ing a beautiful banner enscribed. " SIE JOHN COLBOENE AND THE 

 CONSTITUTION," and preceded by a band of Musick. Upon their 

 arrival they were joined by a large party on horse-back in readiness to 

 escort the Hon. Col. Talbot as soon as his approach could be discovered. 

 About half past 11 A, M. the venerable father of the Talbot Settlement, 

 accompanied only by his servant, was met by the escort on the summit
