Description (What the record is about)
-
Folios 161-162. Phillip Nisbitt to the Duke of Newcastle. Petitions begging for answer to the petition Nisbitt sent to the King who passed it on to the Duke. He hopes that his 'great service to the King, Government and Nation in taking Mr Murry [the Jacobite John Murray of Broughton who was arrested after Culloden] that would destroy all England and it lay in his power for which he has subsistence for life and I that refused 600 guineas from his sister to let him at liberty and ventured my life in take [taking] him is now without any subsistence or portion or any friend to give me a meal but in a starving condition about London streets'. In his second petition [which it would appear to predate the other] he says he is about 27 years old, able but has no trade or business and asks for a place.
