To Mr Chris. Denton Grays Inn London 

Newcastle 21 March 1758

Dr Sir

	Mr Widdrington tells me today that Mr Scott & Edwd. Winship have made an Affid[avi]t before him, wch he apprehends is setting forth L[or]d Northumb[erlan]ds claim to Kirkheaton, & therefore he thinks Sr.Wr. sho[ul]d lose no time in presenting a Memorial setting forth his claim, if it is not done already. For otherwise his Lords[hi]p may procure a provisional Grant f[ro]m the Crown if no heir appear. As I imagine Sr. Wr. will be come out of town I desire you will not lose any time in advising what is proper to be done in this matter  -  I am informed th[a]t Mr Bewick of Close house looks upon himself as the heir to Mrs Windsor Estates & that he will certainlyt serve Ejectm[en]ts on the tenants to try his right at the next Assizes.

PS I desire to know what is done about my West Kenton Acct.    I am etc    JR
