Shoemarket, Pontefract. - Writes to intercede on the behalf of George Scott of Brotherton, whose aged mother was a close friend of Crosby's late wife and whose wife is 'far advanced in pregnancy', who has had a warrant issued against him on the grounds of poaching on Milnes' father's estate about three months ago 'in consequence of which, he is now a friendless and a houseless wanderer'. Gives intemperance and Scott's sincere regret as mitigating circumstances. Asks Milnes to speak to his father on Scott's behalf to stay the prosecution.
