An authentic narrative of the singular and surprising conduct of Sir Watkin Lewes, knight, respecting his detention and concealment of an old Latin deed, delivered to him about ten years ago for the purpose of making out and establishing the title of a poor person in Pembrokeshire to the large estate of Thomas Selby, late of Wavendon, in the county of Bucks, Esq; who died in the year 1772 With extracts from the office copy of his answer to a bill filed against him in the Court of Exchequer, for the recovery of the said deed: and also with extracts from the office copy of the depositions of witnesses taken in the cause on the behalf of the plaintiff, none having been examined by the defendant. Together with observations, pointing out the inconsistency and prevarication of his answer: and shewing, how the trial was eluded, and the cause struck out of the paper, just as it was going to be called on, by the positive refusal of plaintiff's counsel to open the cause, thinking it had too uncomely a countenance to appear before the court. By John Duffield, formerly of Medmenham Abbey, in the county of Bucks; but now of the Parish of St. Panceas, in the county of Middlesex, gentleman.
