Possession of Dilston Mill having been given up to me, I proposed to the New Tenant, to place him at once in possession, to commence immediately with the necessary repairs of the Mill, the principle part of which was ordered in last years estimate, and to give him all the advantages of the Way-going Crop, on his paying the expenses I had incurred in obtaining possession immediately, and paying Eighty Pounds on the 22nd of November next: and after some demurring he

Had an application from Robson Lambert formerly Tenant of Dilston New Town North Farm for the amount of his Bill for leading <materials> in breaking up the Old Hexham Road, and attaching it to his farm – the amount of this Bill, £21. had already been paid by the Hospital in the disgraceful affair of Mr Geo Wailes Bailiff of the District, but Mr Lambert had never obtained it. It is a matter of question with me, whether the Hospital ought to have paid this

Engaged in correspondence and accounts nearly the whole day. Rode to East Mill Hills, and examined the several repairs etc, required by the tenant, and promised to give consideration to such as seemed proper.
Received a letter from Mr Bainbridge stating that Mr Dickenson of Lovelady Shield had again refused to convey the Land on which the Receiving House at Hudgill Burn is built, unless the Hospital would pay him 5 per Cent interest for 7 years, in addition t

Mr Todd the New Tenant of Allerwash Town Farm, again applied to me relative to the Works he required, and also demanded to have included in his Farm two Cottages which have always been let separately, but as I could not accede to any part of his demands, he again threatened me as he had often before done, to give up, and that he would not take possession. It became necessary for me to bring him to a decision, and I told him that I must require of him to sign his agree

My dear Sir
I ought to have written you my thanks for your kind advice some time ago. I had made a mistake in the sum I wished to accept, I meant 30 instead of 35,000£. 20,000 on mortgage, and the other 10,000 for the marriage settlement; when I received your letter I was decided upon it, and wrote to Wentworth, upon which he gave m

Having received certain information that Mr Lambert of Elrington East Farm was removing his stock etc. from the farm on Saturday, an event which I was so apprehensive of, that I wrote my suspicions to Mr Fenwick twice in last week; but having instructed Mr F. to proceed against this Tenant, I have hesitated to take it out of his hands lest I should do anything to prejudice his proceeding. In this dilemma I wrote again by the morning’s post to acquaint Mr Fenwich of

Tuesday 5th March 1833
Mr Fenwick having at length sent a person to distrain upon Elrington East Farm, possession was taken but nearly all the stock had been removed, and I fear we shall suffer heavy loss, but every day would make it worse, and it is essential to secure what we can, and get the farm out of such hands – the disgraceful conduct of Lambert the Bailiff in this affair, will render it imperative in me to submit to the Board to visit it by making no allowance on discharge to the

Mr Peacock made a proposal of £500 a year for Allerwash Town Farm, but this is too low to recommend to the Board, and if we are driven to accede to a low rent it must be for one or two years only.
The Hudgill Mill Company met me by appointment, and after much discussion, consented to the following alterations in their proposal.
The premises to be demised to consist of only those Buildings immediately connected with the Mills, and the Cottage and ground oc

Received the Account of Stock found on Elrington and Westwood farms, which is very unsatisfactory in reference to the arrears; and I caused Bills for the sale to distributed in the neighbourhood. Rode to Hexham, and saw Mr Ruddock relative to the claims for fencing and for the sums paid to Tenants in compensation – it is evident enough that the Hospital has paid for the fences three times the amount that has been paid by the Trustees in other cases, but the heartl

The Tenant of Shawhouse Farm came to me in consequence of a letter I wrote him, and requested to be allowed till Tuesday next to pay his arrears, and I consented on his promise to be punctual. Arranged with the Wood Inspector the form of notice, and several conditions relative to the sale of Wood, and fixed Tuesday the 23rd of April for holding it. At his suggestion, and concurring in what he said, I altered the conditions from taking 5 per cent interest if the party

Mr Armstrong on behalf of Mr Tweddell applied to me for two stacks of Oats distrained at Elrington, which had been grown upon Mr Tweddell’s farm, but I at once resisted this claim by stating the fact that we had lost both Cattle and Corn by its being removed to Mr T’s farm, where we could not follow it; but that I would allow the Straw for the Manure of the farm according to the Custom of the Country. Had an application from Mr Beaumont’s Tithe Agent for the ti

I am favd with your letter of 11th March. I am decidedly of the opinion that we had better hold from selling large parcels for the next Month or six weeks - unless we can obtain £14 to deliver in June and July. I think you may fairly state that we shall not be in stock before that time that we do not wish to make prospective sales in the present state of the market. This should be made known to the Lead Co who no doubt will be glad to remedy their lat

Resumed my examination early this morning by visiting Newlands South Farm and Mill, and found the latter, in common with all the Mills of the Hospital I have yet seen, to be a sort of incubus, a dead weight upon the Revenue. A new Water-wheel is about to be put in, ordered last year, and estimated at £118.19.4., and there are now other necessary repairs which will cost 40 or 50 more. I inspected and minutely noted all that seemed requisite, but would decide on no
