|
Hamersley to Duke. He has submitted the Duke's claim,of which he encloses a copy (see below) After examination it was allowed without any trouble. He has had difficulty in finding out how the falcons were to be presented, but learns from Dr.Wilson that he has heard his father (the Bishop) say that they were placed(in a cage) in charge of an officer in Westminster Hall. More, upon the service of the second course at the Royal table the Earl of Derby - at the last coronation - advanced with the other claimants upon tenures and delivered his falcons to the King,who stood prepared with a proper person to receive them. Would like a couple of tickets for the ceremony,if the Duke has any to spare. |

10.9.1761
|
J. Quayle to Harrison. He finds from an examination of the Records that Falconers appear to have been appointed from the earliest times down to 1697,when they were discontinued. Is Sir P.Murray's salary to be in Manx or British currency ? It is very desirable that the appeals in the case of Gov. Cochrane v Stevenson be determined without delay. but it is essential that Stevenson's statements as to Manx laws and customs should not be accepted without examination by others. If he wins his appeal the Duke's interests will suffer greatly,as it will be thought that he is easy and averse to litigation, as he is already said to be. |

ex Gov. Cochrane to Harrison. The new scheme for the prompt hearing of appeals will be very beneficial as under present conditions they are much abused. The comptroller (J.Quayle) is "both an honest and a sensible man. He does not like drinking,and if persuaded to do so in company,through shyness, a very little makes him sick,so that next day he can neither speak nor think". "When he is presented to the Duke you must be present to help him out, tor he will be much at a loss what to say... but this will wear off once he is satisfied that the Duke will not bite off his head". "But,to the last,you will find that you will get more out of him than my Lord Duke will". |

J. Quayle to Harrison. (from Keswick) The difficulty of making remittances. Unable to get bills at Whitehaven he has had to send the cash by carrier to Kendal,which cost 0.5% for carriage and insurance. He did,however, get,without premium,a bill for £500 which he had in Portuguese gold. The road (to London N.M.) is so bad that he finds it necessary to go by "the York road". |
