I find L[or]d North[umber]land's Bailif was with the Kirkheaton tenants this day senight to summon them to go to Mr Scott & th[a]t the ans[we]r they gave him was they did not know any business he hd with them; & what it co[ul]d be I cannot imagine unless he thought he co[ul]d prevail on them to attorn to his Ldsp [Lordship].

I saw Mr Collingwood on Saturday, who seem'd to resent Mr Ords behaviour so far as not to join in any Award on worse terms than mentioned in your proposall but yesterday he told me upon the Exchange that he could not see how they could avoid making an Award, so that I presume it is done, & I doubt with the loss of all the Ground in Dispute upon the Testimony of two persons, who all the Country says have perjur

The Kirkheaton Tenants were all here today, but they have changed their Minds of making an attornm[en]t to you; for Mr Minican has refused to give them up L[or]d Windsor's original indemnity, he has charged them at their peril not to make an attornm[en]t to anybody till they hear further f[ro]m him, & has engaged in a few posts to procure them a suff[icien]t Indemnity wch I imagi

Dr. Sir
I have this moment been talking wth the Kirkheaton tenants, who seem to me to be an Artful set of People, tho' ignorant; but not so ignorant as not to have been apprized th[a]t they may continue in possession without attorning to anybody; till a proper owner can be found for the Estate. They say Minican has promised in a post or two to procure them an Indemnity & if so they seem inclined to continue tenants under the indemnity.

By yo[ur] Lre of 31 ult. to Mr Robson I find you compute there is 67.19.8 due to Mr Haggerston at St Cuthberts day 1755 for 23 1/2 yrs Castle rent But according to my computation it comes only to 67.0.0 as below, the diff[eren]ce may probably arise f[ro]m yo[u]r not deducting the Landtax for the odd 6s 8d only for the even £3.0.0 but it ought be allowd for the whole
