Messrs. Mulcaster Farnacres 1 June 1784 Thomas Robson has been with me and says he can prove that he did not exult or rejoice upon James Johnson losing his favourite Horse for that all he said was - You would not have been in this situation if I had been at Newcastle a day before you took up this Wood as I wd. have had the carriage of it - And at another place he said - Little better could happen as James Johnson <deserved some misfortune> for taking up the wood which he had agreed for the Carriage of and was to have had the Carriage if James Johnsons people had not taken it up tho’ they ought not to have done so. This he says he can prove by 15 or 16 Witnesses. I desire you will make enquiry into this matter because if James Johnson or his Men have behaved ill we will set Thos. Robson to work again if on the Contrary Robson only has behaved ill we must punish him by continuing his discharge. I am Your Humble Servant Nich. Walton Junr.
