Treasurer Clifford and Sir John Duncombe to the Lord Chancellor.
Yours of May 31 last to hand about a warrant of ours
directed to the surveyor of woods for felling 1,000 trees in
New Forest viz. as being improperly directed. We acknowledge
it ought to have been addressed to the Woodward, but
Sir John Morton, the present Woodward, appears never to
have acted and to be wholly a stranger to the business of the
place. We will see that they are in future sent as you desire
to the Chief Justice in Eyre as usual. Meanwhile you can
have a view of the timber cut under the present warrant and if
it is injurious to the beauty of the park or the shelter of the
deer we will stop it.
