Particulars extracted from Peter & Jas. Mulcasters Letter of 10 January 1787 for Robt. Hopper Williamson Esq’s Opinion and Direction respecting a Pig of Lead which it is said is in the Custody of Abraham Fawcett of Corbridge, and said to be the property of the Commissioners and Governors of Greenwich Hospital.
The Pig of Lead found or pretended to have been found at Corbridge by Abraham Fawcett cannot be come at, Robert Wilson finds himself a Pig short at Dukes Hall, & at his desi

Messrs. Mulcaster 12 January 1787
We have this Moment recd. your Letter of the 10th. Inst. and very much approve of what you have done respecting the Pig of Lead at Corbridge, but we shd. be particularly glad to know what Evidence can be met with to prove Abram. Fawcetts having found a Pig of Lead and that it is in his Custody, because if Fawcett will not deliver the pig of Lead, we think it wd. be right to have a Search Warrant, and if then found in his Custody, to charge him wt

Messrs Mulcaster Farnacres 13 January 1787
You will observe that we have taken the first opportunity of being advised respecting the Information we rec’d from you as to Abram. Fawcett. We think it will be proper to proceed only upon that of the piece of Lead being supposed in his Custody, but we cannot help thinking that the Brother of Abram. Fawcett may be as likely to have the piece of Lead as Abram. We therefore cannot but be of opinion that there is sufficient Ground for

Letter – Robert Hopper Williamson to Peter Mulcaster – 19 Jan 1787
Copy of Robert Hopper Williamson Esqr’s Opinion.
Under all the circumstances attending the Affair of the Pig of Lead in Fawcetts Possession I sh[oul]d think the best way w[oul]d be to get a Search Warrant upon the Application of either of Robt. Wilson or Wm. Bell and if the lead when found sh[oul]d prove to be the Pig lost by either of them I sh[oul]d suppose the Conduct of Fawcett w[oul]d fully justify his commitment upon suspicion of the Felony.
If however the circumstances sh[oul]d not

I have given my sentiments upon the affair of the Lead at the bottom of the enclosed letter – upon considering the matter I sh[oul]d clearly think that to proceed in a Criminal way w[oul]d be most effectual. In an Action of trover the property must be proved as well as in an indictment, & the property being of so inconsiderable a value perhaps render it not quite so proper an object of an Action, a

Dear Sir,
We inclose you two letters which we have this Day received relative to the Pig of Lead said to be in the Abraham Fawcetts possession at Corbridge and upon which we must request to have your further directions and Opinion. We consider the behaviour of Fawcett to be a matter very serious if under the circumstances he cannot be punished because we shall most assuredly meet with many such instances sh[oul]d it be understood that any person has a right

Letter – Robert Hopper Williamson to Nicholas Walton – 20 Jan 1787
Copy of Robt. Hopper Williamson Esqs further Opinion respecting a Pig of Lead supposed to be in Abraham Fawcetts possession.
The circumstances stated in Mr Ruddocks Letter & in that of Messrs Mulcasters of the 17th Inst respecting the Pig of Lead belonging to Greenwich Hospital & now in Fawcetts possession make it extremely difficult to determine what method is the best to be pursued in that Business. The very inaccurate & unsatisfactory account given before Mr Ruddock by

Having fully considered, and particularly attended to the Title of the Account which you sent to us we find it to be impossible to take in the Intention which you have so properly pointed out in such small Bounds, and therefore we have drawn out a paper of conditions such as we are of opinion will be sufficiently expressive of what is intended by ourselves as well as the Carriers, and as you will observe the Conditions are to be printed, we pro
