A long letter giving legal opinion. He has read the enclosed injunction and finds that it extends not only to the quiet possession of the complainants but also of their tenants, which is very unusual and indeed contrary to the rules of Chancery published by Lords Whitlock and Keeble, which rules are not contradicted by the late ordinance for the regulating of the Chancery. But these lands, he perceives, are not in question: the only thing in question is the mountains concerning which Owen makes a query - whether that being open at the time of the bill exhibited and not three years enclosed, Owen may not interrupt the complainants' tenants from enclosing? The writer thinks he may, for the injunction does not extend to give any other possession than they had at the time the bill was exhibited and three years before, which possession of theirs was not in severalty at either of those times .
