371. John Wayman to Robert Bloomfield, 23 May 1823* 

You have every reason to make complaint. It is more than 3 months since I proved to Mr Golding that, even according to his own counsels opⁿ all doubt was removed upon the point w^ch he raised about the discharge of the Mortge, & I have never heard from him since.

I have now written to him threatening [to] proceed at my own expence to compel a settem^t if the purchase be not immed^y compleated & wo^d have done so before, feeling as I do, the cruelty of the case, but unfortunately our only remedy is in filing a Bill in Chancery which as you may have heard is a hopeless resort for avoiding delay.

As to the rents I know noth^g hav^g had no concern with them, & supposing, as a matter of course that those who had taken the rents for you wo^d continue to do so until they had proper directions not to do so—According to the cond^ns of sale the purch^e was to be let into the possession or rather the rest of the rents only upon payment of the residue of his purchase money & therefore it never enter'd my imaginatⁿ that the purch^r wo^d be tak^g them until he had performed his contract nor have the tenants been justified in pay^g them to him.

If I had your poetical talent I wo^d have shamed the parties concerned out of their quibbling before this & they richly deserve to be handed down to remembrance, You may well say you sh^d have supposed it had been the Title to a great Estate that was in discussion & not a few cott^s—I am disgusted beyond measure at the unnecessary & ill-placed obstacles thrown in the way but it has not been in my power to do more than has been done. I have pray^d and threat^d & if it cannot be compleated with^t I will myself fight for you.

Bury—May 23/23

I am &c
