Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to Mark Skelton – 28 May 1793
Tynemouth
May 28th 1793
Dear Skelton,
Enclosed I send you a paper that was found in the office respecting the Money that I mentioned to you, as perhaps it may be of some use to you, but from what I learn the Money if due to us, would scarcely pay the Expense. In a letter from Sophia to day James Lee has been served with the Letter from the Chancellor, & they are all damned angry about it, she does not say much, but they are astonished Louisa has heard nothing about it

letter – Isaac Hunter to Thomas Emerson – 4 Jun 1793
Mr Emerson Weardale Dukesfield 4th June 1793
I am sorry that whenever I write to you that it should always be making complaints of the Ore bein sent from your Groves badly dressed for when at the Mills yesterday found what was coming of the New Ore both f'm Sedling & Middlehope were badly washed, sedling most shameful, though I mus own I was more surprised to find whats sent f'm Middlehope both to this & to Rookhope Mill so badly washed when the Mine is so Rich f
Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to Mark Skelton – 6 Jun 1793
Tynemouth June 6th 93
Dear Skelton,
I have the pleasure of yours, and am very happy to say that we all go on very well, our dear Boy has bathed twice and it agrees with him very well. It is very odd what can become of Phipps opinion, no account can in any manner be given of it here. We have not heard any more about Sir John’s claim that I hope will subside, I do not see myself the absolute necessity of a Gen[era]l Retainer unless we have some reason of supposition, & in that ca

Mr Henry Addison Farnacres 6th June 1793
Sir
I have been indisposed for several days past or you sh[oul]d certainly have had a Letter before this in reply to your obliging favor of the 30th & 31st Ult with the accompanying depositions. I observe w[i]th satisfaction that you have been very attentive to the business and it appears clearly that damages must be paid. It is the wish of Sir John Turner and myself that upon every occasion where damages ought to be expected they s

Letter – Nicholas Walton to Nicholas Ruddock – 7 Jun 1793
Mr Walton Junr begs leave to name to Mr Ruddock that he thinks no time sh[oul]d be lost in applying to Mr Beaumont to ride the Boundaries of Hexhamshire and Allendale Commons. It is a great pity to have lost so fine an opportunity as there has lately been the Weather never having been more fit than for some time past. Mr Walton has the pleasure to inform Mr Ruddock that the Grindon Langley South Common and Thorngrafton Acts have had the Royal assent.

Mr Forster Allanheads Dukesfield 7th June 1793
As I cannot meet you this day at Allandaletown take this method of Acquainting you that I would have all the Tontail Ore to be sent hear both f'm Allanheads & Wolfcleugh - Youll let us know when you have sent of all Sir Thos. Blackett's Ore. I beg that you'll order the Ore to be better washed before you send it to the Mills, for I made a Trial of 6 Bings w[hi]ch only yielded 15 p[iece]s of 11 Stone p[iece]s and I
letter – Isaac Hunter to Thomas Crawhall – 8 Jun 1793
Mr Crawhall Dukesfield 8th June 1793
When at Allanheads Mill on the 3d Mr Sparke made a complaint against your Man Hutchinson of being bribed by Spark the Washer to team Bous Ore among the Cutting Ore & that he came to the Mill in the Night that he might not be detected. I saw the Ore, it is as good as what was laid down for Bous I believe the complaint proceeds from malice, but being maid by the Clark at the Mill must have the matter fully investigated, therefor beg that y

Mr Addison Farnacres 10th June 1793
Dear Sir
I have rec[eive]d acc[oun]t from Alston Moor that Isaac White assisted by one Thomas Yeats of High Fairhill who was on Horseback came and took away 5 Ore Carrier Galloways belonging to Thomas Taylor and 3 belonging to Thomas Summers and had got a considerable way towards Alston before they were discovered and then Taylor and Summers set off in pursuit of them and Summers having taken another Galloway he rode upon it full speed unti
Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to Mark Skelton – 11 Jun 1793
Tynemouth June 11th 1793
Dear Skelton,
In a letter from Bosville he says he had seen Sir John Trevelian but that he had not mentioned anything to him respecting the Business – Stanhope called upon us yesterday, and said he was informed at N. Castle that Sir John Scott had desired a little time to consider upon the Question in point, how far his authority may be good I know nothing, thus far, we have never heard anything. One thing to us seems particular (but I cannot see that can b

Letter – Nicholas Walton to John Dickinson – 14 Jun 1793
Farnacres 14th June 1793
Mr Dickinson
I duly rec[eive]d yours of the 8th Inst and have the several necessary Papers and information about the Ore Carriers being obstructed now before <Currick>. It is certainly necessary for the Ore Carriers to be carefull and not to give any offence or have any quarrels with the Owners of the Tenements or their Lessees, and you and John Friend must endeavour to have them to conduct themselves as discreetly as possible as to that.
Letter – Nicholas Walton to Nicholas Ruddock – 16 Jun 1793
Mr Nich[ola]s Ruddock Farnacres 16 June 1793
Dear Sir
I have read your Letter very attentively and as Mr Beaumont did not favor us with an answer to ours respecting the riding of the Boundary of Hexhamshire and Allendale Common I sh[oul]d think that it w[oul]d be the most proper way to have a Personal interview with him upon the subject. I therefore desire you will think of some proper Persons of the Proprietors who it may be right to have to accompany you and I will certainly

June 18th 93
Dear Skelton,
I wrote to you this day and enclosed the papers you sent executed. In conversation with Mr. Blackett, I find he only offered to sale 15,000 Pieces, and only sold to Kit Black 5000 Pieces – I cannot get any explanation about accounts from him or Straker, You had better write yourself without mentioning my Name, as wishing to know how the Accounts stand, and as he well knows you are empowered by us to act, you can explain what you w

Legal Opinion – Robert Williamson to Thomas Richard Beaumont – 20 Jun 1793
After an attentive perusal of a Copy of the Will of Sr William Blackett dated 14th August 1728 I am clearly of opinion that the late Sr Thomas Blackett as the first Son of Lady Wentworth took an estate-tail in the property devised and settled by that will and that he was enabled when in possession to barr all the subsequent estates limited by the will by means of a Common Recovery as to the fee simple estates, and by a fine or other competent conveyance as to the Estates held by Leases for lives

Dear Sir
I wrote to you yesterday in great hurry, as I co[ul]d barely have time to save the Post. As we are to wait upon Mr Beaumont, I sh[oul]d be glad you w[oul]d inform yourself, whether we are to be at liberty to make any, and what, use of such information as Mr Bell has been so obliging as give, respecting the riding of the Boundaries of Hexhamshire and Allendale Common.

Letter – Diana Beaumont to Mark Skelton – 30 Jun 1793
Sir
Many thanks for your kind Enquiries after my little Boy, he is perfectly well & improves daily, I hope you will soon see him. I am very anxious for your coming into the North & beg you will delay as little as you possibly can, for I think you are much wanted, you will never get the proper Accounts unless you do come, Mr. Beaumont is delicate on the Subject but you must waive that delicacy & ask plainly for them. – I have recd. a very handsome Letter from Mr. Cockshutt, I am

Dear Skelton,
With respect to the paying the £300 to Elizabeth Laycock, I am certain she can give no security for the Money <per> that of her sisters but Mr.& Mrs. Lee have let her enter into Partnership at York upon the strength of her being able to take her Sisters money and everything is drawn up and signed, & Mrs. Lee wrote to us about the Money. If she takes her own £100 we must let her have £200 & she pay the
