To Mr Horne Ravensworth Castle May 15 th 1752
Sir
The Commissioners for the Turnpike Road from Newcastle and Carlisle have broke Ground in Throckley Estate; but at our request have put a stop thereto, till you acquaint the Board therewith whose answer they desire if it is possible by return of the Post; we acquainted them with what you wrote us, but as we have not received the Resolution of the General Court, we apprehend we have no power to give the Commissioners of the Turnpike leave to go on, upon a Presumption that the Board will permit them on the Terms the Earl of Northumberland has done.
The Commissioners for the Turnpike Road from Glenwhelt passing through the Barony of Langley Hexham Dilston to Shildon, are also beginning that Road, and propose going through several parts of the Derwentwater Lands. They have acquainted us therewith and desire the Board may be acquainted that they hope for their permission and concurrence therein, without making other satisfaction than paying the Tenants for spoil of Ground and hedging off the same. To these Particulars we beg the Boards Commands as soon as you can and we are
Yours etc Walton & Boag
