Writes that Mr Wenman has oppressed his tenants in Radmanthorpe [Radmanthwaite] to obtain the tithes, which belong to Lady Oxford, and has taken them in kind. States that if Mr Wenman accounts for what he has taken, he [the writer] will show the produce of the Norton tithes and the problem can be sorted out.
