"The Wendover business is proceeding; but I am awkwardly circumstanced, not having all the documents before me; in Lady M. L. Crawford's business I should wish to attend with you on the spot. Pray excuse haste

I am, dear sir,
your's faithfully
Gabl Tahourdin."

Temple,
23d Feb. 1814.

Lord Ellenborough. Where is the cover of this letter: the cover should be produced, for letters of this sort may be written after their date, and one wishes to have some external thing that cannot deceive; there is no post-mark to any of these letters.

Mr. Scarlett. Did you write that letter on the day of which it bears date?

A. Yes, I did; it was not sent by the post, I believe; I cannot charge my memory, whether it was or not?

Q. I see there is a lady alluded to, Lady Mary Crawford Lindsey; was she a tenant to Mr. Cochrane Johnstone?

A. No, she was not a tenant; she had purchased a house of his.

Q. There was a business to settle with her?

A. Yes.
