Sir

I was Yesterday favoured with yours, in answer to which
I am certain the officers of Ruislip would at the Least request I
should make, be ready to comply with the prosecution of Wright
the Coroner, but it is a thing I do not much care to ask, well Knowing
the parish to be so miserably poor allready I am sure they have
nothing to Support a Law suit; and in my opinion as the
Coroner is a County officer; and as he has been Guilty of most
Epedious impositions upon the County; he should be prosecuted at the
Countys Expence which if the Gentlemen in Sessions think
fit to Carry on; I that Live upon the Spot will take Care they shall
not want sufficient Evidence to find him Guilty of such
impositions on the poor that he by the Court must be turned
out of his office and if the Gentlemen in Sessions please to
give me an order to Carry on the prosecution against him
I will immediately wait on my Neighbour Mr Masterman a
man will Known in the Court of Kings bench and give him
directions to pursue the affairs, and further if the Gentleman in
Sessions would have me wait on them, and have any more questions
to Ask me relative to this Matter I will readily do my self the pleasure
was every mile a hundred; for no man Loves to bring a publick
gobber to punishment more then Sir

Your most obedient and Humble Servant.
