DescriptionMr. Meason will not execute the contract until the trial at Chelsea. Seems pleased with his engine. Has raised a summons in the name of John Hay, trustee for Messrs. Coleville’s creditors. Peter Coleville is in debt to James Watt – does James Watt want the account included in the summons. Most of the creditors have assigned their debts to Hay. He has obtained a Decree of Ajudication against Messrs. Coleville’s estate. This new decreet will lead to another ajudication. It will not get much money, but it is the only step.
