D[ea]r Sir I was favoured with your letter of the 22nd Inst. inclosing the Names and Ages of your Children; I have since received the Income Act, but I have not had the Pleasure of hearing from you respecting the making a return of the Amount of your Income to the North Commissioners, neither have I received such Account of your Income from your Yorkshire Property etc.
Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to John Erasmus Blackett – 30 Mar 1799
My dear Sir
By the last post I sent Mr Tweedale's accounts of Rents etc but he has omitted one Farm of 144£ per year which I have wrote about. Stanhope rates <8 %> for his Farm houses & 10 % for Cottages, how far he may be right I can't say but I am <sure he will> not exceed his valuation. But he will charge as much for the Reduction as any man can do. I have seen the Archbishop of York this morning and the Appointment of Mr Fleming will immediately take place. I am

Sir
I am now here to assist in making out a Statement of Coll. Beaumont’s Income and Mr Blackett has shewn me the Acct. which you have sent from Bretton which is much too general
A Rent–Roll comprising the Name of each Tenant the Name of the Farm in what Parish it lies and the Quantum of Rent is what is wanted and with respect to the Outgoings it is required that you be more particular saying whether Mr. Howland’s £10 Mrs. Helliby’s Â

Newcastle 1st. April 1799
Mr. William Twedale
You would receive a letter by the last post from Mr. Bell from this place since which I received a letter from Col. Beaumont saying that in your statement of his Yorkshire Income that you had omitted a Farm of £144 pp Ann of which he had acquainted you.
It will be necessary that the Return you make of the Amount of Col. Beaumont’s Income (of which you shall be informed) to the Assessors should be signed by him, or by you as

Durham 2 April 1799
My Lord
I am truly sorry that I sho[ul]d have neglected to send the Bedlington return, how it had escaped my notice I cannot account.
Mr Castle told me yesterday that their is one, or two, very great mistakes in the drawing of the last Landtax Act, in one Instance, they have mistaken on Set of Commissioners for the other and that a new Act will be necessary.
Our Landtax Letters have comed slowly in of late. I have some thoughts of advertising t
Letter – Robert Richardson to Rowland Burdon – 3 Apr 1799
Paradise Buildings 3rd April 1799
Sir,
You will perhaps not see more on the two last pages of Mr Harvey’s letter, than you already know, respecting the Enclosure Bill. I have to lament, as an individual, that the great and good wishes and intentions of the Bishop of Durham, seem to be thrown on the back ground, convinced as I fully am, from my perfect knowledge of the manners and pursuits of the people of the western parts of the parish of Stanhope, (amongst whom I spent the fi
Letter – Henry Hildyard to Rowland Burdon – 4 Apr 1799
<Wil…h> 4th April 1799
Dear Sir,
I am just returned from Newcastle where I signed the Consent Bill for the Division of part of Stanhope stinted Pastures and Moors. I was sorry to find Bollihope omitted in the s[ai]d Bill, & I was informed that Mr Harvey, & some others, had now declared that had they known that the Bishop of Landaff had made an offer to purchase 1000 a[cre]s of the worst Land they would never have opposed it. I was also concerned to find another cl

Durham 6 April 1799
My Lord
It probably may be the most proper to sell part of the Reversion of the Leasehold for Years and part for Lives, to Redeem the Land Tax, but where or to what account I cannot yet advise your Lordship, my reason for offering those Comparative modes of Calculation was to have something fixed to form an Equitable Value on both that the matter might undergo a Consideration so as to act upon the most approved principle. The Landtax Letters come slowly in, I

Letter – Richard Scruton to Shute Barrington – 9 Apr 1799
Durham 9th April 1799
My Lord,
Mr Mowbray has this moment inquired of me whether some material Alterations are not made in the Weardale Bill; in Answer to which I have barely time to save the Post to say that the only Changes of any Importance are the omission of Bollihope & Stanhope Commons, & the Insertion of Clauses allowing your Lordship’s Lessee to work the Lead mines without paying damages, & in Consequence of the omission of Bollihope & Stanhope it became

I have the Favor of Yours, & I yesterday received the schedule of my Land Tax from you [struck out: Mr Bell] for the County of Durham. When I am to transfer the stock it shall be done immediately. You may depend upon it I will take no measures respecting the Hexham Turnpike Road until I hear again from You. I will tell Sir George what You say, about the Miners, it is one of his wild Ideas. In a letter from You dated 8th March you mention the Pays will amount to about £51
Letter – Robert Hopper Williamson to Rowland Burdon – 11 Apr 1799
[at head of letter in a different hand, possibly of a later archivist:] To Mr Burdon
Dear Sir,
Before this reaches you Mr Scruton who I understand is on his way to town will probably have explained to you the real situation of the Weardale business. The Consent Bill which he carries with him includes the stinted moors & pastures only, and the infranchising clauses have consequently been withdrawn from it, not indeed from the motive suggested in Mr Hildyards letter, but because in t
