	According to my Promise I waited on Mr Busby abt the halfe Years Rent in arrear at Keswick wch the Tennants Reckoned that he had got but he (Utterly denys) or positively Says he knows nothing of their Paying beforehand & bid one look at his last Acquittance by which he will abide & that what Rent he reced last was to Martinmas 1731 from which time the Tennts will have to pay a halfe years Rent for every halfe Year.
