To Willm. Corbett Esqr. Ravensworth Castle Janry 18 1750/1
Sir
In regard to the intended Division of Wark Fell and Broad Pool Common in the Manor of Wark, we see no objection to it provided the Lord of the Manor have his proportion and set off in a proper situation. The shares which have been set off on Division of Commons, to Lords of Manors have been sometimes 1/16th and sometimes 1/12th part, but we believe more general to set of 1/16th, however in this case we think the Hospital should be intitled to a Twelfth, at least we think as these things are generally settled by particular agreement we should endeavour to have that share. These Commons were not surveyed and consequently do not appear in the general plans, but as they are extensive Commons the Hospital’s Share will be considerable and may deserve two Shillings or more per Acre, but of that we can judge better when the situation and Quality of the Common to be sett off is known. Mr Reed a principal Freeholder has been with us and offers to give 18d to 2s per Acre, but we think it is better not to engage with him or any body till we know our Share. We are
Sir Your most hble. Servts.
