| Description | Braco's letter to Mr Arthur Forbes was delivered by Mr James Grant; matters may be delayed as there are so many elections to be tried before his own, 'so have stopt my witnesses'; the lawyers, in London and Edinburgh, think that in law and equity he must have carried his cause, as even in Lord Lyon's own minutes he really had no election at all; notes that Barco's presence at Nairn at he election has helped them immensely; mentions the drunkenness of 'Mr. Packer, a patriot member for Barkshire'. |
