Letter – Martin Morrison to Diana Beaumont – 7 Oct 1820
Mrs Beaumont Allenheads N[ew]Castle 7 Octr 1820
On my arrival yesterday at Durham from Allenheads; I had an interview with Mr Phillpotts respecting the Composition, in lieu of Tithe Ore, for the Parish of Stanhope. Mr Phillpotts repeated his Readiness to accept a Composition but requested an offer to be made for it, and hoped that I was empowered to name the Sum that would be given. I replied that I was prepared upon two Conditions being conceded to offer him £3000 p[er]An[nu]m. Viz th

I yesterday went to Durham, according to appointment to meet Mr Phillpotts. I found him greatly displeased and hurt, at a Report which had circulated in Weardale last week that He had refused to accept £3000 a year for his Tythe Ore and which had been represented to him of having such an effect upon the workmens minds as to render his appearance at Stanhope a step of personal danger and that in consequence he had been deterred go

On the receipt of your letter of the 20 Inst, I lost no time in transmitting a Copy of it to Col & Mrs Beaumont, & I am directed by them to inform you, that after the most mature consideration upon the subject they are compelled by <pass..fal necessity> to decline the terms you demand for the Tythe Ore of Stanhope. – That they may however not incur the imputation of a <....> of feelings f

Madam
I herewith transmit copy of a letter to & from Mr Phillpotts. His rejection of the offer of £4000, & the manner of doing it, leaves no room for hope, I fear, that a further offer of £500 more would induce him to enter into an Agreement; rather on the contrary induce him to be more tenacious in adhering to his most unreasonable demand; and which if acceded to by you, will be used as a precedent in future Agreements for

Sir
I am by this morning’s post favoured with your letter of yesterday’s date; and if I have not referred to the estimation of Value of your Tythe Ore & the deductions you had made therefrom, it was because in our conversations I had before urged that it could only be upon Compo[sition]s with the Bishop and Rector for the Lot & Tythe Ore that the Weardale Mines could be worked to advantage by the Lessee; and also that

Annexed is copy of a Letter from Mr Phillpotts del[ivere]d to me this day by Mr Fenwick; and notwithstanding the reliance which Mr Phillpotts professes to <repose> in Mr Fenwick, I did not find that the latter was invested with the least power to conclude, upon any terms, an Agreement. I however entertain hopes We shall at last bring this evasive and unreasonable Gentleman to terms. I found Mr Fenwick the very opposite of his Employer fai

Mr Fenwick called yesterday afternoon for the first time since Saturday, and came unauthorised by Mr Phillpotts to Conclude any Agreement. – He was sent, no doubt, to sift and draw me into a new project on which to negotiate, by intimating that Mr Phillpotts might be induced to accept 4000 G[uinea]s for the Tyth[e] of Your Ore, provided the produce of the Lead Company’s was given up to him; - to this – I gave a decided negative
