My dear Sir,
The information alluded to by Lloyd yesterday relates to Two men of Elland, who are identified (each on the oath of one person) as having been present when the robberies were committed on the night of the 29th November—
They are recommitted till Tuesday for further examination, when they State they can produce Evidence to prove an Alibi—
Warrants are out against three others on suspicion of being concern’d—
The Two men first taken up, have been this morning discharg’d—
Allison tells me Lloyd & himself are going on collecting information on the cases examin’d by Mr. Hobhouse, but though they they have got somewhat further, it does not amount to what they wish—
Raynes has been with me this morning, all is quiet about him—. He says persons are going about the Country collecting money for the Prisoners in York Castle but they do not state, if, for any in particular.
You may depend on hearing from me as often as any thing occurs to report, & if you have no letter, rely on it, nothing has happen’d that has reach’d me—
Wroth: P: Acland
[To] Lt General
The Rt Honble
T. Maitland
London—
This letter can be found at HO 40/2/8.
