Title
Letter from Clerk to Charity Commissioners, of 13 Great George Street, Westminster, to Mr Joseph Cocker, Chapel Warden, of Stony Middleton, concerning White charity, setting out that, under the donor's will, trustees are entitled to surplus rents and profits beyond specific payments amounting to £10 yearly.
When minister and chapelwardens were before Commissioners at Bakewell, estate at Booths, Hathersage, was said to consist of house, circa 40 acres of old, inclosed land, wood circa 3 acres, and an allotment of circa 9 acres. From subsequent information Commissioners suspect acreages not correctly given, and request correct acreage from Mr Cocker. Suggest inclosure award for allotment and estimate for rest.
22 May 1827.
Pencil memorandum made from Mr Cocker [? by William Longsdon] that rough piece of land circa 12 acres lying somewhere about Common Edge belongs to estate, although Dakin, who holds lease, claims it as his own property.
