A copy draft warrant, following a court martial held 17 July [1766], for the execution of Thomas Briggs for desertion and a copy of the proceedings of a court martial, held 19 Nov. 1766, of two sepoys sentenced to dismissal and five hundred lashes respectively.

A manuscript, [c. 1766], comprising copies of letters relating to a dispute between George Johnstone, the governor of West Florida, and the deputy governor. George Johnstone was the leader of a group in the House of Commons which took part in the attack on Clive in the parliamentary enquiry of 1772-1773. His brother, John Johnstone, a member of the Calcutta Select Committee, disputed Clive’s powers as governor of Bengal in 1765. These links perhaps help to explain Clive’s interest in and custody of the manuscript.
