Bawtry. - Ask Houghton's instructions regarding the 'Close of land at Sykehouse purchased last Summer'; vendors difficulties; Mr Dickinson advises it is desirable to retain the land; Houghton should decided 'whether it is expedient to keep open the Contract for Sale or at once to concur in its being rescinded'.

Bawtry. - Thanks Milnes for his letter of the 20th. Was appointed in Apr. 1837 as steward of the courts of the manors of Bawtry and Southfield by Milnes' father; from then until 1 Jan. 1855 the fines on admission came to £299.6.0. Lists the four fines assessed since that date: Messrs Josh. Marsden and others; Robert Styles; Elizabeth Pullen; William Newman. The three first have been paid to him. When the third is done hopes to prepare the accounts up to Milnes' father's death and will send a cheque for the balance.
