_N.B._--Mr. Grosett being from the first Breaking out of the Rebellion
employed in so open and remarkable a manner in the service of the
Government created against him the particular Ill will of the Jacobites
and their Adherents and who on that account took every Opportunity of
shewing their Resentment against him, they plundered his House in the
Town of Alloa, and in the Country carried off effects to a very great
value, drove all the Cattle from off his Estate, forced the Payment of
the Rents thereof to them, stript his wife and children of the very
cloathes they had on, and used otherways in a most inhuman manner.
‘_Brunstane, 4th Septem. 1747._
‘I do certify that Mr. Grosett was employ’d by me in the service
of the Government in the several matters above mentioned, and
also on other occasions and was zealous and active in the
Execution of whatever was committed to his care.

AND. FLETCHER,
_Lord Justice Clarke_.’
