Folios 311-318. Letter from James Grenville, magistrate of Butleigh, near Somerton, Somerset, enclosing information relating to 2 men, Thomas Stone and Thomas Meakins, whom Grenville has committed to prison to await trial at the assizes for making seditious utterances amounting to treason. He believes them to be 'missionaries' sent out by the London Societies, and suggests that similar circumstances may prevail in other parts of the kingdom. The informant Reynolds has been bound over to prosecute and West to give evidence. Enclosed is the information of James Reynolds of Kingweston, Somerset, innholder, and William West, mason, sworn on 17 June before Grenville and Revd. Henry Gould, regarding the seditious utterances of Stone and Meakins and their attempt to recruit West. Also enclosed is a record of the examination of Thomas Stone, husbandman of Bulphen [Bulphan], Essex and his cousin Thomas Meakins, shoemaker of Hornchurch, Essex, to which are appended copies of further witness depositions.
