To Sir Wr. Blackett Bart in London 19 March 1756 Hon Sir Herewith is inclosed Mr Ellis's state of the Case about Stublock with copie of the Injunction you were served with on 1739, the case is much the same with what I sent you last year, which I beleive was laid before Mr Ord, but whether he gave any opinion upon it I do not know. Yesterday morning early the regulating Capt[ai]n with the Assistance of our Greenland men got about 50 Sailors at Sunderland, & might have got many more if they had had a ship or House to secure them in, for want of which many made their Escape from them. I have been at Morpeth three days this week attending the Refference to Mr Ord, & I hope the matter will be settled as well as wee can expect, but when the Money will be paid I do not know. Mr Ord will make his award before the 25th. I hope you are well after y[ou]r Journey. I am etc JR
