Letter
Tenterden to In the absence of the Earl of Derby, May 2, 1876
[Inclosure 5 in No. 76.]
Lord Tenterden to Mr. Hoffman.
Foreign Office, May 2, 1876.
Pressing.
Sir: With reference to my letter of yesterday, I have the honor to inclose for your information a copy of a notice, just received from the home office, which has been addressed to that department by Messrs. Wontner & Sons, solicitors, stating that an application will be made to-morrow at twelve o’clock to a judge at chambers for the issue of a writ of habeas corpus in the case of E. D. Winslow.
In forwarding this notice, the secretary of state for the home department has informed me that he will endeavor to show cause why the prisoner should not be set at liberty, but that he is unable to guarantee the result.
I have, &c.,
TENTERDEN.
In the absence of the Earl of Derby.
