| Description | LETTER from Samuel Jones, Frodsham, to Hon. James Cholmondeley Esq., White Hall, London; discusses C's claim, as Lord of the Manors of Rocksavage [Rock Savage] and Frodsham and of the River itself, to the tonnage of all goods and merchandise coming up or going down the River, as is paid for goods shipped from or landed at his key at FRODSHAM Bridge; he suggests that if Frodsham Bridge were to be made a free discharging port for all vessels loading salt or cheese, which are non-dutiable goods, then the salt proprietors would be willing to pay the 10d. per tun which they now pay to Liverpool; Liverpoole cannot put forward such a good claim as his considering the vast expence the former lords of the River have been put to to make the River navigable.
