To Richard Horne Esqr                  			Ravensworth Castle  Feby.  23rd  1759



Sir 

      Mr Allgood we apprehend is now in London and as we are informed intends waiting upon the Board about the Dispute with him as to Shittlington.  He formerly proposed laying his Title as Lord of the Manor of Shittlington before such Council as the Board should think proper; and we have some reason to think he will make that Proposition now; as we are informed he has said his business to London was to get [next word underlined] information in regard to this Dispute, and should he propose to lay his Title before Council, it is natural to Suppose he will expect to see the Title of the Hospital.  How far this may be proper we submit to the Board, and wish the Dispute could be settled in a fair and amicable way.  The Division of Wark and Broad Pool Common ought not we think to be divided exclusive of Shittlington.  We are

      Sir Yours etc

      Nichos. Walton Hugh Boag
