To Mr Richs. Ellis at Hexham

Newcastle 10 March 1758

Sir

I rec[eiv]ed the favour of your letter; but desire to know whether the Copies of the Stile of Anickgrainge Court, wch you sent me, were taken from admittances only, or from the Suit Rolls of the s[ai]d Court. If they were taken from the Suit Rolls, I sho[ul]d be glad to know whether or no the Owners or tenants of Kirkheaton appear by those Rolls to have owed suit & service at the several Courts mentioned in the s[ai]d Copies; Or indeed at any others held in James the first's reign or any time before the year 1632. - I am sorry to occasion you so much trouble in searching after these Old Records; but as the thing would be material in case the Escheat comes to be litigated, I beleive you will excuse me, who am  etc      JR
