Sidmouth.
To the Right Honourable Viscount Sidmouth.
My Lord,—I am honoured with your Lordship’s answer to my letter of yesterday, respecting George Edwards, wherein you state, that “you know of no ground which could justify you in issuing a warrant against him.” I consider that those depositions which I left at your Lordship’s office, contain such charges as would fully justify your Lordship in apprehending George Edwards. Perhaps your Lordship’s objections are, that they are not sworn; if so, I beg to inform you that the parties were in attendance at your Lordship’s office, to give evidence, and were ready to be sworn to their statements, and are now ready, at an hour’s notice, to attend your Lordship. I have also other evidence to produce.
I remain, your Lordship’s most obedient humble servant,
7, South Audley-street, May 4, 1820.
M. Wood.
From Lord Sidmouth to Mr. Alderman Wood.
Whitehall, May 4, 1820.
Sir,—I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this day’s date, in which I see no ground for altering the opinion communicated to you in my former letters.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
Sidmouth.
