Scope and content

Brooks'. - Regrets that the course he has taken regarding 'the fault committed by [Milnes'] servant' has unintentionally given him annoyance. Called on Milnes at the request of 'the Committee of the Society which has undertaken the prosecution' to learn his view of the case; Milnes said he 'wished to take no part in it & even declined hearing what the Father & Mother of the girl who was assaulted had to say'; Raynham agreed with Milnes that the father 'would well be able to prosecute', on the father's unwillingness, the 'Society considered they ought to take up the case'. Is sure that if Milnes heard all the facts he would be 'as indignant as I am of the shameful conduct of your servant & would approve of a prosecution by the Society', but even so he regrets that 'even for a short time' he has offended Milnes; trusts Milnes will no longer consider that Raynham has done wrong regarding this matter.
