Scope and Content
Letter to Thomas Wing from Eagles & Son: “We have received a letter from Mr Day on this matter, he thinks the point in dispute “not worth mooting on either side”. we must confess we think him wrong, the one party is requiring that to be done which in the event of an award could not have been, if directed, enforced, the other is rejecting a Deed which she ought not upon principle to execute. You will excuse our expressing our surprise that you should persist in requiring a General Discharge especially as Mr Adam intimated that he should be content with a receipt, at least so we have been informed, as we said before we are not aware that Mrs Evans has any further Claim and therefore to end the dispute rather than involve the poor woman in litigation we are disposed to yield, provided she is not put to any expense about the Discharge and also that she is indemnified by an undertaking from you or Mr Bennett that if any further claim is made for the Stumps ordered for the purpose of marking the Headlands &c a moiety of which has been already paid by Mr Bennett and he says the parties can have no further claim, that she shall not be required to satisfy it. You will observe that no charge was made in Mrs Evans’ Account relative to them. We hope now the matter will be speedily settled”.
