Watson - he apparently wrote on ffep 'A treatise of Equity by Lord Gilbert', in a long passage in writing seeming to be Call's, he argues that this book is certainly not by Gilbert but Ballow, he cites a copy in his possession of the Dublin 1769 3rd ed. which has Lord Gilbert as author even though text is very similar to this 1737.
