Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 4 Nov 1798
Sherburn 4th Novr. 1798
My Lord,
I duly received your very obliging Favor of the 28th October on the 29th at Newcastle. I had a long Conversation with Mr. Williamson on the Weardale Business. Some days before he had seen Mr Tweddell of Threepwood who is a Landowner in Weardale and who seemed highly offended in not having been more consulted (as he seemed it) as to the division; he also declared that he would in every shape and Stage of the Business oppose it _ He has in many Inst

My dear Sir
I have considered a good deal about purchasing of the Land Tax, & should be glad to purchase mine both in Northumberland, & here. But I fear I shall find some difficulty in raising the money for there will be so much land brought into the Market that we shall not be able to find purchasers, could I raise the Money to buy stock, or could I get anyone to lend me some stock, I would immediately buy my land Tax. I go up to Town on the 17th inst to the m

I duly received your esteemed favour of the 2nd instant advising me of the Sales of Lead which you have made, also the present note of your Market, and your sentiments on the Trade, all of which I think myself greatly obliged to you for.

My Lord,
I was a little surprised to find by Mr. Bernards Letter which I received yesterday, that he had <delivered> the Draught of the Bill for the Weardale Inclosure on the first Instant; I informed Scruton who immediately went in Search, and found it at Mr. Castles office. This has protracted the Business and how such a parcel has so long <laid> unnoticed seems surprising. I find Mr Castle did not see the Case before it went up, however, I

Dear Sir
On the receipt of your favor yesterday, a search was made by Scruton and to my surprise the draught of the Weardale Inclosure Bill was found in Mr. Castle’s Office where it had laid since the beginning of this Month. My Lord Bishop in his last Letter says he hopes the Case was the same as the draught you settled. I haven’t the least doubt but it is, yet on finding Mr Castle had not compar’d it; I procured the Case from Scruton which I he

Scruton has (as I presume your Lordship will have observed in the Newcastle Paper) advertised the Weardale Meeting to hold on the 17th Instant. It is further to consider the Bill, to read the Case and Opinion, and to resolve as to the propriety of another opinion whether your Lordships Lessees or the Owner of the Soil is to pay the damage done by working of the Mine. I have with Scruton looked over the Bill. At present the Clause as to the Expense
