Folios 5-7: Extracts of letters from Duke of Newcastle to the Duke of Cumberland and [his secretary] Sir Everard Fawkener concerning [Jacobite] prisoners:
Folio 5-6. Lists of prisoners will be sent to bring them to trial as soon as possible. Sir Henry Liddel reports there's nowhere secure to keep prisoners in Newcastle [upon Tyne, Northumberland], so the mayor [Cuthbert Smith] is to keep them aboard 'transports' for now. Major Marcel, now in Ireland, is going to Scotland to help Cumberland with manning levels needed to secure Fort Augustus [Inverness-shire] and other forts. Reports that Lord Ogilvie and other rebels have been 'secured' at Bergen [Norway], and [envoy extraordinary Walter] Titley is to approach the King of Denmark. 5 June 1746.
Folio 6. Requests that evidence and witnesses against Lord Lovat and the other rebels be sent as soon as possible. Dated 6 June 1746.
Folio 6-7. Requests exact lists of prisoners 'taken in arms' in Scotland, held prisoner there, to assist their removal to Carlisle [Cumberland] or elsewhere. Also asks for Lord Lovat to be sent to London. Dated 3 July 1746.
