Correspondence between Lindegren and Kaye & Freshfield, among others, throughout 1818. Lindegren expresses amazment in January that the case is going to be brought to a hearing after so many years. He says he has several witnesses he will have examined before the hearing. K&F inform Knight & Jones that they are examining "4 or 5 witnesses" for the defendant, but will not be finished by the allotted day of the hearing so ask it to be postponed until the end of term. Knight & Jones agree, but they are concerned that they have not had notice for the examination of any of these witnesses. Charles Grant is named as one of the new witnesses. Mr Woodcock, a "Baltic Captain" is another of the new witnesses, he happens to be ill in hospital, and another witness Mr S. Thorton is "out of town" so K&F ask for yet another postponement of the hearing, to next term. Again, Knight & Jones agree. Mr Tooke, another witness, is presented to the examiner in March, very close to the new deadline. Mr Todd (who has been mentioned in earlier correspondence) is also examined. Lindegren writes to Kaye to say he wants to write to the Attorney-General to try to come to some sort of compromise. Kaye replies saying this would be improper, and very injurious to his case. Lindegren's son provides some written evidence to help his father's statement. Lawyer Mr Dauncey will be holding the brief on the part of Lindegren. The hearing is set for Trinity Term (May/June). Knight & Jones request copies of the exhibits from K&F; they oblige. The hearing date is moved to Michaelmas Term (October/December).
