I am with sincerest respect Yr Lps obliged & Faithful Servt.

Bretton Decr 1st 1798
Dear Sir,
Col. Beaumont has been obliged to give over Ferrybridge Ball, as we propose setting out for London if possible either on Tuesday or Wednesday next, but in case of its being necessary for Mr Blackett to be introduced by a Member of the Hunt I have wrote to inform Mr William Lee & my Sister that Mr B. will be there, & I am certain they will be happy to see him. - I beg my Compts to Mr Collingwood & I own it was a great omission on my part not giving

Letter – Thomas Crawhall to John Erasmus Blackett – 2 Dec 1798
Sir,
I received your Lre. of the 29th Ult. Mr Mulcaster did not see Mr Heron himself, but he left the Receipts with me to shew Mr Heron, who says all that Mr Mulcaster can do is to make a legal tender of the Rent to Mr Silvertop & not to his Agent as he did before, of which I have acquainted Mr Mulcaster – I am glad that you approve of what was done respecting the Silver. Mess. Browne & Brind have wrote this day that they have received the P[iec]e sent them, but have only charged i

Sherburn 5th decr. 1798
My Lord,
Scruton has (as I presume your Lordship will have observed in the Newcastle Paper) advertised the Weardale Meeting to hold on the 17th Instant. It is further to consider the Bill, to read the Case and Opinion, and to resolve as to the propriety of another opinion whether your Lordships Lessees or the Owner of the Soil is to pay the damage done by working of the Mine. I have with Scruton looked over the Bill. At present the Clause as to the Expense

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> &

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

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
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
