[Mr. Grosett at this time recovered seized
Goods to the value of £1800 which the Rebells
had carry’d off from the Kings Warehouse
at Leith, and in which he was greatly assisted
by Genl. Handasyde.]
When the Rebells came to Edinburgh there
were of seized and condemned Goods, in the
King’s Warehouse at Leith, to the Value of
about Ten Thousand Pounds, and as these
Goods were all carry’d off by the assistance
of the Rebells, and Mr. Legrand Collector at
Leith having upon their approach left Scotland,
Mr. Grosett at this time saved no
Labour or Expense to get Information by
whom these Goods had been carried off, and
where lodged, found out and secured with
the assistance of a Company of the Military
which he procured from General Handasyde,
as many of these Goods as were sold for
about £1500 and procured Information of
the Names of the Persons who with the
assistance of the Rebells carried these and
the greatest part of the other Goods from
the Kings Warehouse, and who are now
under Prosecution for that offence, as well
as for the value of the Goods, that Mr.
Grosett did not recover.
