To Sir Wr. Blackett Bt. MP. London 12 May 1758 Hon. Sir Herewth inclosed are two Lres I rec[eiv]ed this morning f[ro]m Mr Robson. the tenants that have not signed he thinks will attorn with those that have; if you please to send them the indemnity they require; but he has put in yo[u]r indemnifying them ag[ain]st the money p[ai]d Mr Minican; wch I told him you did not think proper now to do. Mr Denton has the Names of all the tenants that have been ejected; & if you send them an indemnity please to send also a proper Attornments for them to sign, with all necessary directions; & return the inclosed. Mr Robson complains of Jno. Ridley & Geo. Green for breach of Covenants. I do not know what can be done with them, unless you think proper to order a Writ to be sent down ag[ain]st them. As to what he says Cowel who has taken Ryal sho[ul]d say, there is no manner of foundation for it, he was wth me about a week ago & said he was determined not to enter, & all the answer I gave him was he must however expect to pay the rent. Mr Scott desires you will please to write some Attorney at York that you can confide in to see the Fine passed by Mrs Fenwick & the deeds properly executed by Mr & Mrs Fenwick & Mr Ward & to Witness the Execution, & I desire you will please to let me know who you appoint for that purpose. Mr Scott knows no Attorney in York except one Mr Raper in Coney Street & knows but very little of him & if you have no Attorney there that you chuse to trust, somebody sho[ul]d be sent from this p[lace for Mr Fenwick expects all to be done at York wch wo[ul]d more properly be done here. - Please to order Mr Denton to fill up a Bond from you & Mr Wm. Peareth to Mr John Fenwick of York for £2000 at 4 P[er]C[en]t dated the 12th inst. to be executed before two Witnesses & I will get Mr Peareth to execute it when it comes here. PS. I find Mr Bewick & Mr Widdrington are to be with the Kirkheaton tenants on Monday, but what they have to propose or say to them I do not know. I am etc JR
