Title: GEORGE MOORE to the EARL OF LINDSEY, in Channon Row, West-minster.
Description:

--Stating that by the malice of Sir Robert Jackson, Mr. Slith, and Mr. Salkinstone (whom he had informed against for their many abuses of his Majesty), he is " laid up and detained for a clipper of His Majesty's coin," only because, "in a foolish humour and upon a wager "he cut off a piece of a shilling to the worth of a halfpenny with a pair of tailor's sheers.

 

For this "fond act" and for nothing else, he is threatened with death or a long imprisonment, as bad as death, wherefore he prays his Lordship to help him to a speedy trial and to befriend him against these malicious practices.
