Folios 57-58. Folio 57. Letter from Willm [William] Pollock to Sir Stanier Porten enclosing, on the instructions of Mr [William] de Grey, a letter from Mr Child, one of the King's messengers, who lives at Alton [Hampshire]. Folio 58. Letter from John Child to William Pollock:- 'I am sorry to say that when the unhappy commotions in London reached the country the lower class of the people seemed inclinable to join them and I fear had a doz[en] of the rioters appeared would have been joined by great numbers on a mistaken notion of universal popery being to be established among us, I caused a great number of the inclosed hand bills to be printed, distributed and sent to every part of this county and part of Surrey to the entire approbation of the Reverend Mr Willis and Mr Docker Justices of the Peace for this county and have great reason to believe they have been of use in quieting the minds of the country and convincing them that popery was no more countenanced by the late Act than before'. The handbill is filed at Folio 106.
