Enclosure letter From Mr Francis Burton to the Revd Jenner 16th July 1758

Revd Sir

I have the Honour of your letter and am extremely happy in hearing that you approve of my proceeding at Helmdon. We had our meeting last Thursday, when many Disputes came before us, in pursuance of that clause which leaves all controversies concerning the Properties of the interested Parties, to ye determination of ye commissioners. There was one Disputed Point, as to some Ley Ground in the field, between Magdalen College and Worcester College, and after a fair Hearing it was determined in favour of Magdalen College. There was a long Hearing between the Earl of Ferrars and Mr Emily, managed by Lawyers on each side, determined in favour of the latter; & several other Points of property were then determined so that I hope we shall have but few more of them to hear. There is indeed one adjourned over ye next meeting in which one of ye Magdalen College tenants is somewhat concerned, but I hear it will be agreed before we meet; and I hope it will, as it is a thing of very small importance to either of the parties (vis. Shortland, Fairbrother and Adkins)
Our next meeting is appointed for Monday the 31st day of this month at Brackley.
