Mr. Harding having as aforesaid obtained a Grant for a Lease
applyed immediately to Mr Moss, & made him the following proposals
(vizt.) to Join with him in proportion to his part in Rebuilding, And in
case he did not cheese so to do, then to divide with him, or wod. purchase
of him his sd. th. at a price considerably more than he bought the
same for, And infact would join with him in doing any thing that
might tend to their mutual advantage, But Mr. Moss finding
himself disappointed, and that the Parish had agreed to Granta
Lease to Mr Harding rejected utterly every proposal made by
him - And although frequent & numberless Applications were
made to him from time to time for several years, he never would
come into any Agreement what soever with Mr Harding

Mr. Moss died about four years ago, since which Mr.
Harding & likewise the Parish have made Application to his
Brother who claims Title (under the sd. Deceased's Will) to his
said ths. in vain, he sometimes insisting that the Houses
shall drop down Brick by Brick before he will come into any
Terms what so ever relating thereto, And at other Times declaring
that he has no right so to do, on Account of his Deced Brother's
Will under which he claims Tithe, being now in dispute in the
Court of Chancery

Mr Harding however since the Parish Agreed to Grant
him such Lease has paid a considerable annual Rent for the
Parish's th. wth.out receiving any kind of benefit whatsoever &
the premes & Ground are now useless & become a Nusance instead
of affording the Parish that Advantage which wod. be very
considerable if the premes were rebuilt.
