Sir Mr Lowes is certainly wrong in expecting to have his client John Lidell’s claim, to William Richardson’s Estate, decided at the Court Baron on the 19th inst[an]t for it will be more properly and judicially done at the Head Court in Octo[be]r by the Steward than it can now by the Bailiff : Being a case of consequence, and of difficulty too by reason of the different claims.
