Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 9 Dec 1798

Sherburn 9th December 1798 My Lord, Yesterday at Newcastle in my way home from Stamfordham where I have been viewing your Lordship’s Tithes I saw Buddle, and Rawling the viewer, the former has not yet made out his report but his Opinion is that the Borer do proceed to prove the lower Seam, which lays as he supposes about 25 or 30 Fathoms, below where they are now boring. the Seam they have bored thro’ is I learn 9 inches thinner than they expected, Buddle will very soon he sa

Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Bishop of Durham – 12 Dec 1798

Sherburn, 12th decr. 1798 My Lord, I believe I informed your Lordship of the Weardale Meeting next Monday. Scruton produced a Letter he had received from Weardale yesterday, which shews that two young Men in the Law at Wolsingham have been canvassing several of the proprietors as to their being appointed Solicitors, under a promise from Mr Castle that in Case they produced a Request from a competent Number of Land Owners, he will join them in opposition to Scruton. I called upon

Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to John Erasmus Blackett – 13 Dec 1798

My dear Sir Enclosed is a letter w[hi]ch Mr Burdon gave me respecting Mr Healls affairs, I will thank You to give me Your Opinion on the Matter. As the sale of the Land Tax is put off for some time longer, a more accurate account may be made out than in a hurry. It appears to me that a Bill which has passed will affect a certain description of people in this Country, & I fear will cause some inconveniences, that is that when One Pound notes, the immense circulation of Notes <of 5s> &

Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 18 Dec 1798

Sherburn, 18 decr. 1798. My Lord, I have the pleasure to inform your Lordship that the Weardale Meeting yesterday was fully attended. It fell to my Lott to be called to the Chair. The Business was opened by Mr Scruton, charging the Wolsingham Attorneys with having acted unhandsomely towards him, in endeavouring to bias the Minds of the Land Owners, and without as he supposed a Cause, to prevail on them to discontinence him as Solicitor without assigning a reason and of endeavouri

Letters – John Erasmus Blackett to Henry Wilson – 20 Dec 1798

Sir Henry Wilson Chelsea Park London Newcastle 20th Decemr 1798 Dr Sir As my letter of the 11th Inst was in a great measure an answer to yours of the 13th I postponed answering it; I have since received your Lre of the 15th Inst acknowledging the Receipt of a Bill for £84-15-6 being in full the Bal: of a half Year’s Interest of £4000 due 17th Augt last; I observe what you say as to the Date of the Bill which certainly was far from being objectionable.

Letter – Shute Barrington to Arthur Mowbray – 22 Dec 1798

Mongewell Dec: 22nd 1798 Mowbray, You have relieved my mind from some degree of uncertainty with respect to the impression made on the minds of the Weardale proprietors by Castle’s conduct, which as far as I can see, has been unjustifiable. Till he can clear his character from the imputations to which it seems exposed, it will suffer very materially in the opinion of others besides that of those whom he has endeavoured to mislead. He seems to me to have been betrayed into this

Letters – John Erasmus Blackett to Thomas Richard Beaumont – 22 Dec 1798

Letter – Thomas Bernard to Shute Barrington – 26 Dec 1798

Foundling, 26 Dec. 1798 My Lord, I am very glad that the Weardale Negotiation carries a better appearance; when there is so much magnitude of Object, so much Intricacy, & so many little Prejudices & Interests at work, it is too much to expect even now that it will proceed without further Impediment. I am sorry that the Rector does not accede to what is both for his Interest & the general benefit. Perhaps he would not object to a Clause enabling him to agree wi

Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 26 Dec 1798

Sherburn, 26 decr. 1798. My Lord, It gives me pleasure that my proceedings in Weardale met your Lordships Approbation. As I hope we may meet soon, it seems better to defer any detail as to Soliciting the Bill; Castle is I believe a very Honest Man, I am afraid he cannot quite clear himself of the Charge, yet I presume Dixon received what passed from him in private, at least so Castle says and I apprehend the young Men have handled the Conversation they had with him to its fullest

Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 30 Dec 1798

Sherburn, 30th Decr. 1798. My Lord, On my return from Weardale I told Mr. Castle that it would certainly be better that he, thro’ any Channel he pleased, should inform the Weardale people that he would not support the Wolsingham Attorneys in opposing the Bill; and, he then desired Muschamp, your Lordships Keeper, who was at durham, to inform the Rector of Stanhope and others, that he would not support them; leads me to hope he has Nothing to do in this advertising Business - Mu

Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 3 Jan 1799

Sherburn, 3rd Jany. 1799 My Lord, I was on Monday last at Newcastle with Scruton, and we called on Mr. Williamson and fixed the Meeting in Weardale for Reading the Bill on Monday the 14th Inst. Mr W will be with the Rector of Stanhope on the Sunday Evening and endeavour to bring him round. I take the Liberty of inclosing some Minutes I have made as to Tithe for your Lordships Correction, and I will be obliged by your advice whether I ought to shew them to the Rector in this or in

Minutes – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 3 Jan 1799

From a <cursory> View taken of Lands within the Forest of Weardale in the County of durham it appears that the Tract of Country so called contains by Estimation 70,400 Acres and from the most careful Enquiry and Strictest Examination, in it’s present State does not return annually to the Owners more than £3760. These Observations have been weighed and minutely attended to, so as on them to found fair Calculations from which it seems clear, that were those Lands divided and improve

Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to John Erasmus Blackett – 4 Jan 1799

My dear Sir I have this morning seen Mr Hammersly the Banker, who I presume has some active part in the Sale of Mr Benfield's concerns. He told me his House which I wrote to You about, is valued at 25,000£ we are to see it to morrow, and are to have the <first> Refusal, what the selling price is, I can't say, he said part would be expected to be laid down, & perhaps the other might be so arranged as to accommodate each party. I will to morrow write You word of the terms th

Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 6 Jan 1799

Sherburn, 6th Jany. 1799 My Lord, I saw Mr. Scruton yesterday after his attending in Weardale with the Bill. He tells me the Meetings were numerous and from the Appearance of Things in General he has every Reason to suppose at the Reading on the 14th the Majority of the Owners of the Fells and Stinted pastures will be for a Division, but he doubts the Commons on Acct. of a Number of small Land owners, Claimants, having almost lived by Surcharge. I presume your Lordship will conse
