Scope and content
Trinity Lodge - WW hopes RJ 'has got over your worry about the effect of the new Corn Law upon your clients the tithe owners. WW does not believe that the new averages will materially effect the value of tithe, but the tithe owner will now be exposed to an inequality of burden with the poor rate. The contract involved in the commutation 'is really ripped up by the new averages'. The persons who act for the church ought to say that they do not accept the change.
