Description

Folios 100-101. Letter dated at Lincoln's Inn Fields from Ja [James] Wallace [Attorney-General] to Lord Hillsborough enclosing his and James Mansfield's Opinion [folios 103-104]. Wallace comments that the subject must appear to Hillsborough 'to be of a delicate nature' and submits 'whether any attempt to define by Proclamation the right of the subject to the use of arms in all supposed cases, may not give opportunity to persons of factious dispositions, to excite jealousy and alarm in the minds' of the King's subjects 'and whether it will not be more advisable to give answers to the particular applications' received either by the Privy Council or Hillsborough.
