To Mr Rich. Ellis at Hexham

Newcastle 25 Feb 1756

Sir

Sr.Wr. Blackett came here yesterday & orders me to desire you will tell yo[u]r Gardiners, that he expects they will give him no further Trouble or Application ab[ou]t their Tithes, & in that case he excuse all that is past but insists on their paying £10 an Acre for the time to come, & also all thecosts that has hitherto accrued, & you are to let me know as soon as you can, whether they submit to these terms, & have given such Assurances as you think proper to require for the performance. I p[ai]d Mr Rudd 2 Guineas for drawing the bill & have write to Mr Denton to send me the Costs above to wch is to be added Mr Scotts & Mr Kirsops bills. I cannot imagine who possessed the Gardners w[i]th the notion that no tithe is due for their Garden Gro[un]d. You can tell them that Sr.Wr. has had the best Opinions in England & is determined to support his right, as they may have reason now to beleive he will do. & as he is so indulgent to give up all that is past I hope they will be so wise as to acknowledge the Favour & that an End will be immediately put to this affair.

Sr.Wr. desires to know whether the Butchers have made the submission required, & that you will let me know as soon as you can what the hospital is doing at Stublock.  I am etc   JR
