Another letter, from the Privy Council, [directs that] the men should be at Chester by 20 May. Intends to be with William Maurice tomorrow afternoon as soon as he can leave the sheriff. Postscript: Has no way to seal the letter.

Jo(hn) Edwards to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington. He wrote to Mr Wood that being casually in Owen's company he heard Owen say that if he had been returned of the grand jury he would out of respect to Mr Sheriff have appeared, and that the writer could not but choose to serve the sheriff with an intimation. When Owen sees the sheriff he should tell him that he is not sure to be in the country to serve at the next assize: then he will be glad to call Owen now, and this is the most critical minute to serve the crown. Shall kiss Owen's hand at Salop.
