To Mr Chris. Denton Grays Inn London
Newcastle 7 March 1758
Dr Sir
I have rec[eiv]ed your Lre of the 2d inclosing Copy of the Masters Report, wch I have looked over & think it is allright, except the Outgoings out of Kearslby & the Copyhold Estates being valued at 32 yrs purchase when the Freehold is only valued at 30 yrs & the Copyholds at 28 yrs purchase, wch I cannot find any reason for & it is surely a deduction of £63.17.8 to Sr. Wrs. prejudice, & the ground tak

I rec[eiv]ed the favour of your letter; but desire to know whether the Copies of the Stile of Anickgrainge Court, wch you sent me, were taken from admittances only, or from the Suit Rolls of the s[ai]d Court. If they were taken from the Suit Rolls, I sho[ul]d be glad to know whether or no the Owners or tenants of Kirkheaton appear by those Rolls to have owed suit & service at the several Courts mentioned in the s[ai]d Copies; Or

Sir
I have rec[eive]d yo[ur] fa[vou]r of 9th inst. & do not see how the estate can properly be conveyed to Sir Wr. without Mr Wards joining therein, unless you covenant to leave so much money in Sr. Wrs. hand during Mr Wards life as the intrest thereof at 4 P[er]Cent will pay his ann[ui]ty but if Mr Ward is willing to convey you may purchase his ann[ui]ty of Sr. Wr. if you can agree upon terms; & if you prefer t

Dr Sir
Mr Widdrington tells me today that Mr Scott & Edwd. Winship have made an Affid[avi]t before him, wch he apprehends is setting forth L[or]d Northumb[erlan]ds claim to Kirkheaton, & therefore he thinks Sr.Wr. sho[ul]d lose no time in presenting a Memorial setting forth his claim, if it is not done already. For otherwise his Lords[hi]p may procure a provisional Grant f[ro]m the Crown if no heir appear. As I imagine

Hon. Sir
I presume Mr Collingwood has acquainted you that nothing was got done at Anick Grainge Court last thursday, for there were only 13 appeared on the jury, & two of them being Kirkheaton tenants would not agree in finding the Escheat, so that this Opportunity is lost, and is bad management in some side for timely notice was given to get a proper jury. I am therefore afraid L[or]d North[umber]land will get into Possession of Kirkhe

Dr Sr.
I guess by what Mr Scott has said th[a]t w[ha]t L[or]d No[rthumber]land goes upon wth regard to Kirkheaton is th[a][t Sr. Jno. Heydon who bought the manor of Hexham of the Crown in 1632 with sev[era]l other Estates sold some part of his purchase to the Piercy Family, & what Mr Wm. Rutter has s[ai]d to my son today amounts to the same thing. You see by the deeds what Sr. J. Heydon sold to Sr. J. Fenwick & the original patent f

Hon. Sir
Mr Peareth is very ready to join with you in the Bond to Mr Fenwick for £2000, so Mr Scott will go forwards with the Conveyances as fast as he can, which will take some time, for a Fine is to be pass'd by Mrs Fenwick & a Search to be made in all the Courts to be satisfied there are no Judgments enter'd.
The Ejectments are regularly served on all the Kirkheaton tenants, who do not come to any Resolution of attorning to yo

When Mr Baker's Agents rode in the Field belonging to Middle Dukesfield they sho[ul]d have been stop'd. however pay no Acre Money for it, as you are certain none has ever been paid, it must most likely be part of the Freehold.

On Wednesday last Mr Scott & I were with Mr Douglas, who read us a Lre from Mr Ward, that he wo[ul]d not execute the Conveyance of Green Leighton till Mr Douglas was satisfied his Ann[ui]ty was well secured; who proposed that the £2000 sho[ul]d be vested in some trustee for th[a]t purpose & deeds drawn accordingly; this is quite contrary to what you wrote to both Mr Scott & me; for we concluded Mr Ward & you h
