To Mr Robt Mulcaster at Blaydon                                                     Newca[stle] 22d March 1769

Sir

The demand upon you of 3s 4d for a Church Cess is not legal; for the Lead trade is not liable by Law either to poor Cess or Church Cess; this Matter has been tryed & determined. & if you pay poor Cess it is only during Sir Wrs pleasure; who may if the parish is troublesome about these Cesses discontinue the payment of poor Cess as he has done in the parish of Stanhope; where they were not content with letting Matters go on in the Old Way. P.S. Mr Mitchinson tells me he has lost his tickett for 20 p[iece]s re[fine]d> Lead, You’ll take Care whom you deliver that Lead to, in Case the Tickett should be brought you . I am etc    HR
