Content Description	States that it 'seems almost incredible that the late Lord Churchill should have been advised to urge a claim' on lands in Wychwood Forest to which 'the Rights of the Crown had never heretofore been questioned'; reports that the claim of the present Lord Churchill will 'now be wholly conceded'; discusses the remainder of Lord Churchill's claims in right of his Rangership of Wychwood Forest; reports that there is likely to be a lengthy trial on the matter; suggests that Lincoln ask Churchill to waive some of his claims and 'agree to reference on the other points'.
