| Description | Letter from Henry Belcher at Whitby to Thomas Paul deputy Clerk of the Peace at Northallerton. The letter is to be delivered by Thomas Horseman, the new bailiff. Mr Raw has been summoned as a juror but he is a leaseholder of property under £20 per year, and is assessed by the overseers at £12 per annum, being two-thirds of the full value. Belcher asks for Raw's exemption from attending. The land tax lists mix freeholds and leaseholds and when the constables make their returns, they pay no attentions to the different terms or values of property |
