Title
Letter: Humph. Brandreth to Mr. Good, with copy of appmt. of present schoolmaster, Rich. Cumberland. Complains that Mr. Jacson's list of
trustees contains two tenants of the Duke of Bedford who are
therefore not landed proprietors.' The matter was concoted by
Mr. Wilson and the Duke's steward upon the close Borough system of the Duke's appointing two of his tenants and of me appointing two of mine, Wilson literally being the Duke's nominee and I my own, but
as I have objected [to] this plan it seems they substituted the
landed proprietors for my tenants and keep in the Duke's nominees
