Mr Simpsons Clarke from Penrith was at N[ew]Castle on Tuesday, & on talking the matter over with him about the Lead mines we are likely to have a Contest about, we find Mr Ricardson with whom we are to Contest it, setts up a Grant from the Hylton Family; under whom we apprehend the Derwentwater Family Claimed. And therefore it will be necessary to look into the Title to the Mannor of Alston moore, & see whether amongst these Deeds there be any Cou
