Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 23 Jul 1823

Mr Beaumont July 23rd 1823 Mr Kyle has been to look at the situation of the intended bridge but the river was too much swollen ... The gardener at Bradley has received a letter from one of your servants requesting a person may be got to assist Mary the Dairymaid to put the house in order and that you may be expected there in ten days or a fortnight. As I have received no intimation of your being so soon at Bradley I conceive there may be some mistake and shall wait your own instructions ...

Report – John McAdam to Edward Locker – 29 Jul 1823

Aldstone Moor, 29th July, 1823 On inspection of the several roads to which my attention was directed by you, I find them in a most deplorable state, both as regards the lines and the surface. The same may be observed of all the roads in this part of the country, the want of management being apparent throughout. The lines of road have been so improperly carried, that in many places the rise is one in seven, and in several parts one in five. With respect to the construction of the r

Diary – James Losh – 23 Aug 1823

I was grieved to find from C. Bigge, who came to consult me respecting it, that the marriage between Beaumont and Miss Swinburne is broken off, owing to the gross folly and misconduct of Beaumont himself, arising, I have no doubt, from insanity.

Letter – Diana Beaumont to Christopher Bird – 23 Aug 1823

Bretton Hall 23 August 1823 Sir I have received your letter of the 19th inst and on the same day I received the most cruel and extraoridinary Letter that any son ever addressed to a Mother, and in answer to one of kindness and attention; his conduct afflicts me deeply for on him was placed my fodest hopes and ambition, it appears he has lost every feeling of Duty and honor. In common justice he cannot refuse to send by you the Draft of the Deed which was drawn out by Mr P Fenwick under

Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont to Charles Grey – 29 Aug 1823

To the Right Honourable Earl Grey.                           Bradley, August 29 1823 Dear Lord Grey, I cannot prevent this letter appearing to you very extraordinary, but its necessity has been brought on by Lady Swinburne’s conduct. Almost immediately after her daughter’s acceptance of my proposals, in which she and Sir John seemed cordially to concur, I was struck by the unkindness of Lady Swinburne to me, and the continual endeavours she was making

Letter – Charles Grey to John Lambton – 31 Aug 1823

                                                Tunbridge Wells Aug.t 31 1823 My dear Lambton I have this morning had a most unexpected & extraordinary communication of the cause of the rupture between Sir John & Beaumont; in a letter from the latter. The man must be as mad as Bedlam. What do you think of his having told first his intended wife, & one of her sisters & then Edward Swinburne, that Lady S was a woman of most abandoned character

Letter – Charles Grey to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 31 Aug 1823

To T.W.Beaumont Esq (Copy) answer Tunbridge Wells Augt 31st 1823 Sir, I this moment received your most extraordinary letter, which has excited not only my surprise, but my indignation. How you could justify to yourself the unwarrantable use you have made of my name I will not inquire. I feel it only necessary to say, that as far as relates to myself, the infamous allegation you have made against Lady Swinburne’s character is totally false and unfounded. I am, Sir, your obedi

Letter – Charles Grey to John Lambton – 4 Sep 1823

My dear Lambton I cannot express to you how much I have been affected by your letter. <You> could not have written with more real warmth of kindness & affection & it is most gratifying to me to have such a proof of the feelings by which you are influenced. Believe that I am most grateful for it, & never can forget it. I of course can have heard nothing yet from Beaumont nor can I, in all probability before Saturday. I am going to pass the interval at Cassio

Letter – Charles Grey to John Lambton – 11 Sep 1823

? Hanover Sq Sept 11 1823 Mr Dear Lambton I have obeyed your instruction most implicitly with respect to mentioning the name of Ellie; so much so that I obliterated it in your letter & even Lady Grey does not know who was quoted as his authority by Beaumont. If it be true that Ellice told him this story, or any thing like it, I must think the latter quite unpardonable, in <long .eived> old & obsolete <gossip> for w

Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 16 Sep 1823

Mr Beaumont Sept 16th 1823 James Briggs has requested me to ask you to allow his wife who is at present lodging at Crawcrook to occupy the room over the stables at Bradley which Earnshaw had when his wife was there. I have been indirectly asked if you intended giving up Bradley but of course I could only say that I had received no instructions from you to that effect. Mr Clavering of Riddlehamhope is the gent who caused the enquiry and is in want of such a situation. He has Greencroft only f

Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Dawkin – 20 Sep 1823

Mr Dawkin Sept 20th 1823 The common report of the day at Hexham is that Sir J. Swinbourn has explained to you the cause of his quarrel with Mr Beaumont and that he does not wish it to be kept secret. You must naturally suppose I feel very anxious to know the real cause that could break off the match so suddenly and I will state what common report says upon it. Sir J Swinbourne is said to have communicated to you that Mr Beaumont <...> said he and his sons to be rascals and Lady Swinbu
