Description

Folios 123-124. Letter dated at Whitehall from Lord Amherst to Lord Stormont. 'I find on coming home the Recorder has been here to express his hopes of there being no intentions of trying the prisoners by military law, as report goes they are to be tried and hanged immediately in the Park, and that he has most dreadful apprehensions of the consequences of it, for there could be no necessity for it now as everything was quiet, and the Courts of Justice open. The Speaker has been here and hoped the necessity of military executions might if possible be avoided. I thought it right to tell Your Lordship, 'tho [although] we are providing every thing, as if these particulars of the conversation of the above gentlemen had been known'.
