Content description
J. Young, Mount Street, to the College, descibes his meeting with Mr Freeman and Mr Jephcot, one of the proposed commissioners, at Wills coffee house. He found Mr Freeman "very full of words and tedious and tiresome." They had a proof copy of the bill. It appears that the College has only named one of the five commissioners, which "is nothing at all." Mr Freeman "proposed to give the College consent to the Bill and said the committee could be satisfied with his saying that the College consented. I told him that if they would, they were a very bad committee, and insisted on his sending the Bill down to be either signed by you, sir, or sealed... I believe he looks on me as very troublesome fellow; and I look on him, as I have done on other sollicitors before him as retained by the proprietors to get as much from the Church as he can."
