23 April 1758

Hon. Sir

	I presume Mr Collingwood has acquainted you that nothing was got done at Anick Grainge Court last thursday, for there were only 13 appeared on the jury, & two of them being Kirkheaton tenants would not agree in finding the Escheat, so that this Opportunity is lost, and is bad management in some side for timely notice was given to get a proper jury. I am therefore afraid L[or]d North[umber]land will get into Possession of Kirkheaton through the want of proper Materials on your part to prevent it.  I am etc   JR
