Title
Letter from R Freeman, legal adviser to Mr John Beech, attorney at law, forwarded to Mr Thomas Longston at Little Longstone on Thomas' opposition to mining, asking if any court baron has been held for Little Longstone as a private manor within living memory, who claims the lordship and what power he has exercised. If no court baron has been held, Little Longstone is a manor in reputation but not in reality. If so Thomas must rely on his estate being particularly exempted from the mineral custom generally prevailing within the King's Field by virtue of old deeds and his constant opposition to miners working on his ground. Freeman does not advise actions of trespass but rather acting on the defensive
