Sherburn, 9th January 1798
My Lord,
I have seen Scruton & Pearson several Times lately. we do not get forward with the Weardale proprietors & I have been told they are proving a little Lukewarm, but I hope they will come round and be sensible of your Lordships Goodness, no pains on my part shall be wanting to bring about a Work so laudable in every Point of View.

My dear Sir,
I have the Favor of Yours and as Mr. Ebden & Mr Stephenson the two Gentlemen fixed upon for the Business to be referred to will meet. As you are fully acquainted with all the transactions that have passed You can relate to Mr. Ebden all the circumstances that have happened, and when they have given their Opinions I should wish to see them. You knew that no Agreement was made with Mr. Newton, & I think his Son ought not to be paid for his jo

Mowbray,
Whatever may prove the event of The Weardale Plan, the failure, if it does fail, will not be ascribable to you. The Proprietors, if they do not proceed will be their own enemies, and the enemies of the County. My object is the benefit of both.
You will assure Sir John Eden, with my compliments, that I shall readily consent to the inclosure of [blank space] Common on any terms which he as a man of honour shall say are a fair Compensation f

My Lord,
I have just received a letter from Mr. Buddle, the following is a Copy of what relates to Bedlington.
‘In Regard to a Boring at Bedlington I made application to Mr Rawling for his Conditions on a datum of 70 fathoms, which I have enclosed, but you must know that these Estimates are exclusive of a number of incidental (and often very weighty) Charges; such as Swelling Clays, Quick sands, Foul holes, Whin Stone, Lime Stone, &tc &tc

Mowbray,
Ignorant of every circumstance relating to Collieries I can form no guess what proportion boring bears to the other expenses which the proprietor of the Colliery has to defray before he lets it, of this therefore I must be previously informed; as well as whether the communication with the river Blythe is secured by a way leave, and, whether, on the boring’s turning out advantageously, there is a fair prospect of any responsible person’s under

Sherburn 22nd January 1798
My Lord,
The Boring for Coal at Bedlington Buddell estimates £133 15s 0d. Extracts £76.5.0. together £210. and without a Boring, he thinks no one will lease the Mine at a fair Price. If the Seam is found, which he believes there is little doubt, on a Vend of 15,000 Chaldrons, which is deemed very moderate, the Colliery will pay a handsome Rent, and the Expenses of Winning, say from 12 to 16,000£ with Interest in twenty one years, and leave £3,000 p

Mongewell, Wallingford Jan 25 1798
Dear Sir,
It has been intimated to me that many of the Proprietors of Lands in Weardale are desirous of an inclosure. The idea meets with my fullest approbation from a conviction that the greatest benefits will result from the carrying it into execution both to the individuals concerned, & to the county at large from bringing into cultivation such an extent of unproductive soil. I should hope that it will appear to you & Mrs Beaumont in

Mowbray,
I have written by this post to Colonel Beaumont; and transmit herewith a Copy of the letter, as you should not be left ignorant on what foot I have put my application to him for his consent. You may depend on the earliest communication of his answer.
From your statement it is perfectly clear that the boring for Coal at Bedlington should be proceeded upon whenever Buddle shall think it proper. You will acquaint me when matters are ripe
Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to John Erasmus Blackett – 26 Jan 1798
My dear Sir,
Enclosed is a letter this day received from the Bishop of Durham and wish you would give me your opinion upon it, I think that this certainly is not the time for so very great an undertaking as what he mentions, & I think it would meet with peak opposition. The Miners Galloways and petty Sm[all]holders I think would be very much affected by it. In your Favor of the 19th inst you mention having paid to Messrs Surtees on the 17th Bills amounting to 34348 £ in a letter from them

Dr Sir
I am favoured with your Lre of the 26th inst inclosing the Bishop of Durham’s letter to you respecting the inclosure of the Common & waste lands in Weardale; Such a measure I have no doubt will be very injurious to your Concerns in those parts, & it requires some serious consideration before you give the Bishop an answer to

I am just returned from Newcastle where I have been attending Mr. Walton; Our Plan and Award as to the Boundary between the manor of Stanhope and Alston Moor is finished and very pleasantly: I find Mr. Walton has received for more than 4000 Bin[g]s of Lead Ore the last Year at rather more than £3 a Bin, <br[ough]t> the Sum of abt. £14,000 and this not a good Year; they have, I learn some other Years, as Lords received net £20,000.

Sherburn, 15th Feby. 1798.
My Lord.
I dare say Coln Beaumont has wrote North for Information. I think it very probable that his Agents will advise him not to come freely forward, however if he keep back for Self Interest, it will be ungrateful, and very injurious to some hundreds of Families, and their Successors. Some of the Colns Agents in Weardale are old, born on the Spot and, (I have been told) think it best to keep that part of the Country where their chief Mines are as

I have the favor of yours this morning, and the Bishop of Durham called upon me to say he will write this Post to Mr Pearson, saying that he should wish you Mr Heron himself & Mr Moffat should have a meeting and consider what would be the proper steps to be taken & the claims to be made previous to a general one being called. I think that a number of people will claim the Right of Freehold without having any first claim, & when your consulting together

I have this morning had a conversation with Col: Beaumont on the subject of the Weardale Inclosure, in consequence of a letter from him signifying that he had just heard from his Agents. I found him by no means indisposed towards the measure; but apprehensive that his rights might be injured unless there were strict clauses in the bill to secure them. He expressed a fear also lest many would enjoy freeholds under the bill, who at present claim
