(Copy) Directed, Francis Arthur, Esq. E. Cooke. Dublin-Castle, 15th October, 1798. Sir, I examined William Maum, whose evidence I am clear is false, and he will be sent off and transported; and there cannot be any objection to your going whither you think most eligible:-as far as I can give testimony to your character, I shall ever do it, by saying that I consider it by no means implicated from any thing asserted by Maum; and I certainly never heard any aspersion upon you from any one else. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, E. Cooke. Francis Arthur, Esq [electronic resource].
