Usk.
Copy, Messrs Prothero, McDonell & Prothero, solicitors, Usk, to Thomas Bold, solicitor, Brecon: they are directed by Capel Hanbury Leigh, esq., to apply to the Commissioners of Sewers for a rate upon the Level to reimburse Leigh for his expenses in rebuilding the sea wall on his Porton estate. He has been advised to seek Counsel's opinion since there is likely to be opposition, and has asked them to approach other principal proprietors of lands adjoining the Level to ask whether they will concur with him in taking such measures as may be necessary for enforcing this claim. If Eton College accedes, they will forward a copy of the case for Counsel.

Copy of reply from Bold: he is in favour of a pro rata rate on all lands affected by the sea to bear the cost of repairs but fears that this would require an Act of Parliament. He has sent a copy of their letter to the Provost and Bursar of Eton College and will write again when he has their reply.
Endorsed: Leigh Esq etc Nov. 6th 1816 to apply to Comrs
Added in pencil: to be exd by EC
