Petra,

You are quite correct, as was the editor of the Pacquet in 1774. The word was split onto two lines in the paper, that must have led me astray!

Full repatriation for their injuries?

 

Shouldn't that be reparation?

Whitehaven  - November 3 - 1774.

 

 

One James Shaw, a tobacconist with Mr. George Stalker of Whitehaven, formerly kept a shop at Darlington, in the County of Durham. In the year 1760, it was broke open in the night, and rob’d of goods, etc. to the amount of £200. The offender, one William Walker, was detected, and for that, and other things proved against him, was transported from the city of York: he made a considerable fortune in America, and was written over to his relations in England, to enquire for the said James Shaw, and another person whom he had defrauded at Yarm; to obtain an estimate of their loss, to discharge it, and make them full repatriation for their injuries they had sustained by him, Walker is a young fellow of a good family; but had been seduced by an infamous woman, who had drawn him into an attachment with her.
