| Description | LETTER from , Pepper Hall, Great Smeaton, Darlington, to Randle Wilbraham, esq., jun., Lathom House or elsewhere, saying he was willing to subscribe to any arrangement R. W. may agree to in the TARPORLEY Tithes Commutation. Only one Meeting on the subject had been held at Gt. Smeaton, but the lay Rector was exorbitant in his demands. He was furious at the idea of the "Rascally Rail Road from YORK to NEWCASTLE" running through 2« miles of his property, dividing your farms and taking about 23 acres. The Chairman and a deputation of the Company are coming to see him. R. W. no longer has a place in his Black Book and if he will bring his wife to see "us" he will have a front Row in his White Book.
