Gent
Mr Stanley the Lay Impropriator and owner of all the Tithes in these Townships called at the office last week and desired that all the Lands set out and charged with the payment of Rent should be more accurately described and bounded before he would agree to accept the plans, this has now been done I will therefore be obliged by your returning the Plans that they may be completed as desired.
The estimated total acreaage of the three Townships is set out but the Quantities of Arable Meadow and Pasture Land is not define, nor was it conceived necessary when the Dr. Agreement was sent up, as the whole of the inclosed Land was exempt from pay't of Tithe, and no Tithe wh. paid except Tithe of Wool & Lamb and that arises from the extensive & und. commons & wastes ?nor can they be defined unless surveyed, which was dispensed with [interlinear note here incomprehensible]. Mr Stanley has ascertained that the Land charged is q three Times the value as required- The estate called Bowderdale is said to have been part of Wasdale Hall Intack and has never paid Tithe during the memory of man- The Land belonging to the Rector of Eskdale also has never paid Tithe & nor has the occup'r or prop'r of that estate ever had any sheep up on the Commons or wastes nor is likely _____-
The two estates at Esthwaite belonging to L. Porter and Nicholson ?Frear tat pay half Tithe have each part in Eskdale and part in Wasdale & the sheep belonging to those places depasture on the Commons & wastes in both parishes, the land in Wasdale is charged with the paym't of half tithe to Mr Stanleyand the land in Irton will be charged with the pay't of half tithe to the Rector of Irton or person _____ there. you will ?p'ceive on looking to the Dr. Apport't that all the places ?men'd are charged with a certain Rent.

D/Lec/94: "Eskdale Enfranchisements"- notes on doc. already abstracted:
18: Joseph Sharp has contracted for the enfranchisement of Hollinghead (rent 13/0). "It appears by an award dated in 1629 that divers suits had been depending between the ancestors of Thos. Hartley & the ancestors of Joseph Sharp abt. 2 parcels of land called Esk Allons claimed by Sharp to be part of his custo'ry tenement of 13s rent & w'ch had been then immemorially in the possession of Hartley. It was awarded that Hartley & his heirs shd. enjoy Esk Allans & contribute to Sharp & his heirs 9d yearly tow'ds paym't of the sd. 13s rent and shd. also contribute tow'ds payment of all ffines that shd. fall due & be pd. by Sharp & his heirs and wch. hath constantly been done- A Dispute is now likely to arise Sharp insisting that Hartley shall contribute his proportion tow'ds paying Sharps enfranchisement money, and Hartley insisting that he ought not to contribute thereto as Esk Allans was valued by Mr Brown as part of his estate & Mr Alexander also valued the wood thereon with the rest of Hartley's estate, wch. is included in his purchase- I think the rent to be men'ed in Hartley's deed shd. only be 7/4« and not 8/1« as men'ed in the contract."

35 (Langray Green): "NB- At the two last Genl. ffines admitted to two parcels of the rents of 11s 8d & 7d & nothing sold off since, so this rent must be called in the deed Twelve shill's & three pence"

Thomas Towers of Tawhouse, Eskdale, to Messrs. Nicholson & Thompson, 15 Jan 1821:
"Gentm.
I never recolected while I stoped at Cocermouth. That between two and three years ago I got Wm. Nicholson to value Wood and he payed you for it the next audit afterwards, which at that time 6I was led to belive that it belongeth to the Lord of the Manner. But it now appears to me quite otherwise. It plainly appears that it was within the limmits Described in the Contract and as such I belive I was entitled to the Wood.
Gentm. For your information the infield Land lieth between the river Esk and the bottom of these Intacks or brows both at Birdhow and Toes. Nearly in a direct range. There is only two Intacks at Birdhow but I belive there has at some perod being three. There is only two Intacks or brows at Toes being on the side of the infield land and one at the high end of the infield land lieing up by the side of the River Esk- between the high end of that Intack and the two brows lieth the ground where the wood was growing in a Gill the one side of the Gill is called Rib the other side Modickhow. The top of Rib and Modickhow is in rainge with the top of the inclosed brows.
The request is you will examine the contract and the information I have given you and see how far the ideas I have formed is corekct, if so I hope by your aid and assistance be propperly releived, as my mistake should not lead to change the nature of the property.e
I disire you will be so kind as to send to me a Copy of the Valuation and also a Copy of the Contract of Enfranchisement of the Birdhow and Toes along with your sentiments. By so doing you will much oblige
Gentm.
I remain your Hble. & Obt. Servt.

Mr John Bailiff & others, who rent the fishery at Ravenglass, have put up a new weir or "enchar", "constructed in such a manner that it takes all the Fish either going up or at the Ebb of the tide when they fall down again", so that those further up the valley, who used to be able to catch a few when in season, "are now so much deprived of the privilege that the are not worth looking after". They request that the Court Rolls be checked to confirm that tenants have "the right of an open stream". They also note that the meshes of the nets used by the offenders last summer were no more than an inch & three-quarters.
Note from N.N. on reverse, dated 31 Jul, to Mr T.Towers, asking him to supply a plan of the Ravenglass fishery, showing both old and new works, "as I cannot understand the matter without it". Attached is such a plan, delivered 10 Oct 1829 by Messrs. Towers & Bibby.[PHOTOS]

"yesterday Blacklock and I with Porter (the keeper) visited the site of these circles and inspected them. The five circles shown on the enclosed Ordnance Plan (79.S.W.) are quite well defined on the ground and there are appearances of numbers of other circles not well defined, there are also a large number of ancient barrows (burial mounds) many of which have been opened but some of which appear to be still intact. The largest circle and the one best defined is marked No 1 on the plan enclosed and was the subject of a very detailed survey" [in CWAAS OS V] "We carefully examined the plan with the stones now on the ground and found all the stones to in the positions shown on the plan with the exception of No 14 and the small stones near it (not numbered on plan). Stone 14 was only a small one (4inches high by 6 inches wide) and since 1872, as the ground there is soft, may have sunk or been covered with moss &c. Blacklock took some photos but as the day was very dull and light bad, the result is not very good. It will however give an idea of what the circle looks like. The heather has been burnt off about half of it.
No 2 Circle consists of 13 stones with an opened barrow in the centre and is well defined.
No 3 Circle consists of 11 stones with an opened barrow in the centre and is well defined.
No 4 Circle, on Low Longrigg, consists of 9 stones with an opened barrow in the centre and is well defined.
No 5 Circled on Low Longrigg, consists of 12 stones and is not so well defined as the others, some stones on the north side being apparently missing. There are two opened barrows in this circle.

"Case & Opinion of Counsel", summary:
1841: John Banks, at his death in 1829, held several tenements in Eskdale [etc.] manor, and his eldest son & heir Joseph Banks claimed admission (John's widow, still living in 1841, also claimed her widow's right). Joseph was admitted at the court of 30 Dec 1829, having paid his fines & rents, but he died in Jan 1836. He and his brother Thomas Banks had borrowed $800 from one of the Cumberland Joint Stock Banks, and Joseph had lodged the deeds of his properties in this manor as security; in addition, Joseph had borrowed $500 from a private individual, and lodged the admittances for the premises as security. By his will, dated Aug 1835, Joseph gave his property to trustees, but the customary tenements could not be included in this. Therefore his brother Thomas entered into possession of the property in Sep 1836, and was registered as new tenant at the court of 30 Dec 1836, but did not pay his fine. By fiat dated 19 Apr 1837 he was declared bankrupt, and his property vested in assignees, who found that Joseph Banks had died insolvent and Thomas had "no beneficial interest in the premises whatever", so they abandoned all claim to the properties. Therefore the executors of Joseph's will sold them to pay off the two mortgages, at the request of the creditors- the proceeds being more than sufficient for this. Cunningly, however, Thomas Banks remained customary tenant of the premises "for the use of the purchaser or such other person or persons as he may appoint", so no further fine was payable. In Nov 1837 though [after this sale?] the Earl of Egremont died, so a general fine became payable by tenants. At the court for assessing this general fine, 24 Jul 1838, Thomas Banks or his assignees were identified as tenants for the property in question.

How can Banks be made to pay the fine for a property in which he has no current beneficial interest?
