I have very great pleasure in saying that Mrs Beaumont & the Child are going on very well. I am very glad You have retained Mr Williamson he certainly is a very sensible clever man. When the Bill is brought into the House, who is the person who will bring it in. it must I suppose go into a Committee, when the Clauses there can be agreed upon, but previous to its being presented if you will let me know the Solicitors I can consult with them what steps they would have me take.

Sir,
In giving my assent to the Weardale Inclosure I flattered myself that it w[oul]d not only benefit the County Palatine & the Parties concerned, but that if w[oul]d essentially promote the cause of Religion & Virtue & the welfare of the poor in that extensive district. The first object has in my opinion been very properly attended to in the proposed inclosure; as the interests of the Parties (as far as my information extends) have been fair

Col Beaumont was favoured with your letter of the 25th Ult. but not being fully informed of the progress that had been made in the Bill for the Division of the Commons & Stinted Pastures in Weardale, he has desired me to answer your letter. This Division nearly concerns Col Beaumont as Lessee under the Lord Bishop of

The Parish of Stanhope is situated in the western part of the Co. of Durham, and contains by Estimation 70,400 acres at present it is presumed nearly 70,000 are in Grass, which never has been ploughed, being chiefly Commonable. The Bill now pending in Parliament if carried into a Law will loosen the ties of Bondage, give liberty to Industry, Encourage, and Comfort the poor. Of late years the Mines of Lead, chiefly in the western part, have been worked considerably which has caused Numbers

D[ea]r Sir I wrote to you the 15th Inst. to which I refer you. I understand that Mr Fleming has given up all thoughts of the School at Hexham; On his application to the Trustees a Majority of them were in his favour, but meeting with unfriendly Opposition from a quarter where he had not the least reason to expect it, induced him to drop all further

D[ea]r Sir I was favoured with your letter of the 16th Inst. enclosing Mr Heron’s letter to you; the Opinion that he gave you with respect to the Division is certainly very just & proper, the Bishop may be disposed to do what is right, but it does not yet appear that all the Copyholders are equally well disposed to acquiesce with rights that you
Letter – Thomas Emerson to John Erasmus Blackett – 1 Mar 1799
Sir,
I attended the meeting at Chapel on Monday last There was a strong party much against the clause in the Bill empowering Colonel Beaumont to work the mines within the stinted pastures without paying damages but from the strong arguments used by Mr Mowbray & other gentlemen most of the party submitted to the Clauses And signed the Bill (only Wallis excepted) so I think there is not any doubt now but that the Division will get forward Mr Harding did not attend the meeting I suppose from

I should wish most certainly to Buy my Land Tax, in January I bought in 4000£ in the 3 p Cents, for which I got 7547£. 3s. 5d. by which means I could very easily transfer 1581£ 18s for my Land Tax.
