I deem it is a duty incumbent upon me to advise you of those litigious individuals who Opposed the late Assessm[en]t for the Relief of the Poor of the Parish of Allendale, and as it did sufficiently appear, that a great deal of their Venom was spit at Mr. Beaumont; notwithstanding the dayly advantages that accrued to them, in consequence of their Tenants having dayly employment under the Lord of

Letter – John Scott to Shute Barrington – 25 Sep 1797
My Lord,
I have delayed writing to your Lordship, because I had thought myself to believe That I might have the Honour of waiting upon you, &, in that Case, the Opportunity of a few Minutes Conversation about Walkington. I have not held the Chancery Sittings, because Mr. Pearson informed me that there was neither Cause nor Motion to dispose of, and, though the Country ought not to have in its Power to say that they have not a Court open, to which they may occasionally come, I venture

My Lord,
As far as appears from the papers, the principles that Mr. M. has adopted seem to be fair between the Parties, & to be intitled to a general approb[atio]n as a ground of Treaty: so far I shd. wish yr Lp’s Approb[atio]n to extend. I presume it will be sufficient for you to say at present that, from what has been stated, you conceive the proposed inclosure will be both a general benefit to the Country, & an advantage individually to the Prop

Letter – Shute Barrington to Arthur Mowbray – 4 Oct 1797
Mowbray,
From the statement which you have made to me of a proposed inclosure in Weardale, I conceive that it will a general benefit to the country, & an advantage individually to the proprietors of land within that extensive district. On these grounds therefore it has my entire approbation: As to the line between the parties interested, I wish you & them to consider it first among themselves, & to examine how it can be drawn most beneficially & fairly for all the parties

I am much concerned to hear the Acct. you give of young Newton tho at the same time I have reason not only to hope but to believe the Money he got of one Case could be all or most of it paid away because the very last time he was at Hexham he got no Money of me - On the 8th of Augt he was paid £150 but nothing since

Dr Sir
I understand that the Minister intends to propose a tax on Lead Ore at the Mine, or on the Lead smelted, at the Mill, & to put it under the Excise, either of which will be a heavy burthen on the trade, & discourage the working of many Mines; taxing the Ore at the Mines will be most unjust & oppressive, as it is frequently badly dressed & the w

Notes – Thomas Bernard – 28 Oct 1797
Does this enclosure differ with regard to the Land owners from other enclosures?
Will not their expenses be proportioned. Is the extent of their allotments as in similar cases?
Additional churches must be built & ministries maintained from the improved state of the Land. As this charge would be for extensive for the rector - the ministries to be independent of him.
If tithe or corn rent or any other payment be suggested. Will not the Land owners object & wou

I send you a sketch of a letter to Mr Mowbray, leaving it for your correction when I have not adopted or correctly expressed your Sentiments. I agree with Mr M that your great Interest in the the Inclosure arises upon the Leasehold; & that your Allotments are secondary Objects. Supposing that I have not misunderstood Mr M, & that the Commutation for your Reversionary Interest in the Leasehold were fixed (I speak now incorrectly & from Information that is not correct)
