ex APPENDIX TO INTRODUCTION.
1837 ; as also a letter from W. W. Pearson, Esq. the gentle-
man who is stated to have transcribed the copy of the docu-

LETTER from Messrs Tennant, Harrison, and Tennant,
Solicitors, London, to Lieut.- Col. W. L. Maberly.
Sin, Grai/s Inn, 14<A Jan. 1839.
The enclosed letter contained a document of great im-
portance, which was produced by the Earl of Stirling on his
examination in the Court of Session at Edinburgh. His
Lordship was afterwards requested to produce tiie letter
containing the document. And on producing the enclosed,
an objection was taken that the enclosed, being ciiarged a
single postage in London, could not contain the document
produced in Court. It appears, however, that the French
postage is for a double letter ; and we have to request you
will please to direct a certificate to be granted, that although
a single postage only was charged in London, yet that, from
the French post-mark, it is believed the enclosed letter did
contain an enclosure. We remain, Sir, your very obedient
servants,
(Signed) Tennant, Harrison, and Tennant.
