Item 49 - Letter from Macvey Napier to George Henry Ellis

1 folded sheet.

Richmond. - Believes that the agreement between himself and Sir Charles Trevelyan 'necessarily involved the withdrawal of that interdict, and superseded further discussion', so he does not need to give any reason for wanting the interdict recalled. Reminds Ellis that the Lord Ordinary stayed proceedings against Constable 'pending the issue of proceedings in England' against Napier; since these proceedings were abandoned by Trevelyan, 'beg[s] to know on what plea they are continued' against him in Scotland 'under colour of an interdict against Mr Constable'. Finds the line taken in Ellis' letter 'at once so inconsistent, and so wanting in courtesy', that he must request Ellis to refer the point to Sir Charles.
