Beaumont vs. Bosville
I am sorry that I could not Answer yours sooner but the delay has been occasioned by the holidays and Mr. Barkers non attendance during them. I have now this day procured his Sentiments hereon and find the Exemplification must be sent back and Resealed and have the great Seal put to it de novo.
The mistake of the <Test> is certainly a great one and Mr. Barker takes shame to himself that it was returned out

Mr Ruddock Farnacres 8 Janu[ar]y 1794
Dear Sir
I am very glad you have intimated to Mr Heron the having retained Council. It was early enough. Mr Heron cannot be seriously offended by our doing what we thought the best thing that co[ul]d be done and in which I am satisfied we did what was proper. He will I suppose of course have the conduct of such of the Suits as do not relate to the Lord & Lady of the Manors Claim as to Westburnhope. That however sh[oul]d be well consid

Letter – Joseph Carr to John Bell – 15 Jan 1794
Sir
At the request of Mr Forster, I am desired to inform you, why Joseph Watson my late assistant was dismissed. It was solely for inattention.
One reason chiefly for such conduct was the anxiety he felt, for losing his place when I came here, as he then was sole master, being made to believe, that I wanted his place. My mortification at getting is, was equal to his losing it.
I wish you could get the remaining arrear of Rent from Kirsopp which is £1.4s.- I suppose it may be recovere
