J.Quayle to Duke He has pleaded with the Bishop to provide funds to support
the Clergy's case,but he pleaded poverty,saying he did not have above £1,000
in the world. Eventually, however,he agreed to call the clergy together
for consultation and to help them so far as he could. He advises,for reasons given,against sequestration of the Balladoole rents as asked for by Mrs. Stevenson. More tea has been landed this year than in any he has known. It is to be hoped that this will not be noticed by mischievous people such as are always ready to represent things in a worse light than they really are. |

Quayle to Harrison. He has told Mr.Read,who is in Ireland, that he will be given help to claim for the money of which he was robbed. The local merchants have agreed to contribute towards this,and a case has been sent to Mr.Bailey (a London solicitor) with instructions to sue in Read's name. Dow's son and his four men are still confined,and say the matter will be brought before Parliament. There is now a 20 gun ship stationed off the Island, and the ports blockaded by Irish barges, which much annoys the trade. |

Arthur and others from Rotterdam out of the hands of Capt. Dow of the "Sincerity" who had seized and marked her with the Broad Arrow. etc. |

17.11.1750
|
Lindesay (in Edin.) to Duke. He hears that Capt. Dow has seized a parcel of papers, addressed to the Duke through Mr.McCulloch of Kirkecudbright,which he has opened and examined. This latest outrage must surely convince the Duke that Dow,if not stopped,will ruin his interests in the Island and it is imperative that something be done to stop him. |
| AP_X19(2nd)_28 |
20.11.1750
|
Duke to McCulloch (copy) thanking him for his account of Dow's seizure of his papers,and asking for a full and well attested account which can be used as the basis of an official complaint. Also thanks him for his general help in handling letters to and from the Island. |

J. Quayle to Duke. He has £1,500 to remit,but cannot get any Bills
and asks how he is to send it. It becomes evident that Mr. Stanley,the late
Receiver,had been embezzling the funds in his charge,and that his widow
was probably aware of it. She has paid up some of the money due,but not
yet all. The papers Dow seized at Kirkcudbright were the Revenue Books. Barges from Ireland, which are regularly relieved every fortnight,continue to watch all the ports,but are not interfering with vessels using them, |
