Templeton 29.5.1797 adv at Bail M(arshall)

John Henry Templeton 5th Baron Templeton married 7.10.1796 Mary daughter of John Montagu 5th Earl of Sandwich (see Sandwich). Godwin went with Basil Montagu, illegitimate son of the 4th Earl of Sandwich, to bail James Marshall. At present I don't know where or what Marshall's offence might have been, but it does look as if Basil Montagu asked his half brother, and his son-in-law, both peers of the realm, to come along, and that must have added considerable weight in Marshall's favour
