since I had the pleasure of seeing you, I have thought it would be better to proceed on your Warrant vs Scott on Friday next—it is probable Scott will Traverse the Force or plead possession for 3 years in bar of Restitution, in case the G. Jury find an Inquisition for the Commonwealth— If he do, & we take issue on either of those pleas the Justice must direct a new Jury to be returned for the trial thereof & it seems to be laid down as Law by some of the Books, particularly by Dalton & Hawkins that this Trial cannot be on the same day, but must be on some other—it is proper I should advise you of this change in our arrangement for trial in time, that no inconvenience may result therefrom to you—on saturday I expect the business will be closed—
