Tindal is notable for defending Queen Caroline in her 1820 adultery trial and for introducing the special verdict 'Not Guilty by reason of insanity' in the case of Daniel M'Naghten.

Foord Bowes who I believe is not altogether unknown to your Lordship to use what Interest I may have with you in his favour as an applicant for the Living of Thwing in the County of York which became vacant by the sudden death of the late Incumbent in the course of last week.' He proceeds to describe Bowes's attainments: 'Mr. Foord Bowes is a Master of Arts of Trinity College Cambridge who has lived from the time of his quitting the University in a House belonging to a small property of his own in the immediate Vicinity of the parish. His Father was the Rector of this Living some years since and he himself has performed the Duty as Curate for the last 20 years to the greatest satisfaction of the Parishioners. During this time he has been an active Magistrate of the West Riding of the County of York.' A change in Bowes's circumstances has 'made this Living a very great and important Object to him independely of the Value which he sets upon it from his long and early association with it'. Lyndhurst has endorsed the letter in faint pencil on the reverse of the second leaf the writing being difficult to decipher. In the event the living being presented to William Joseph Butler. For the subject of the letter Timothy Fysh or Fish Foord Bowes 1777-1861 see Alum. Cantab.
