To Mr John Bell at Mr Ellis’s in Hexham                                             Newca[stle] 22d Sepr 1767

Inclosed is a Copy of Mr Fawcetts opinion upon the Case you sent me concerning the Method of Tithing the Corn on Hexham Common; from which it is plain that Mr Dazie, and those who are following his Example are running into an Error. but  which I hope they will not persist in: because Sir Walter Blackett will think himself obliged to Support the Custom of Tithing by the Stook as it has Subsisted time immemorially in the parish of Hexham and indeed in almost every other parish in the Kingdom. I am etc    HR
