1793. J.B. to Earl Spencer & Archbishop of York

By some papers I have been favoured with by
Sir Charles, I learn that when the negotiation was
first on your carpet, it was your Grace's desire wish that
whatsoever might be the purchase-money might
instead of maki being laid out in the purchase
of land to the same uses, might be divided
in the proper proportions between the See of York and
its Lessee. A decision of this that nature must can not I
think but be greatly to the advantage of both parties all parties
proprietors. interested. The fetters by which the property is bound
at present must I think lessen the value of it to
the proprietors without being of use to any body.
By a Paper I was furnished with from the
Treasury, I find that at Your Grace's desire the
purchase-money was to have been vested in the
funds in the joint names if I recollect aright
of the Archbishop of York and his Lessee, where
it would have remained subject to the discussion
relative to the partition in question: a partition
which I am apt to as it strikes me at the moment
could hardly under the former Act have been carried into effect without
a decree of the Court of Chancery. Under the future
Act which will now be necessary; this business may
be settled without the expence and delay of a inseparable
in from such a decree that expence will be saved.
I am &c
Archbishop of York.
