Sir,
HAVING recommended to the Directors of Greenwich Hospital, that you should be employed to survey our Lead Mines in Aldstone Moor, and report your opinion of their present Condition, with such suggestions as may occur to you for their improvement; it is desirable that I should state the principal points which appear to me to require your more immediate attention.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
I HAVE now the honour to acquaint you with my proceedings relative to the Mines of Aldstone Moor, which you have directed to be inspected by Mr. Taylor, in compliance with the proposition which I took the liberty to make to you on the 5th November last, when I presented to you my Report on the state of this part of the Ho

ALDSTONE, 22d AUGUST, 1823.
SIR,
IN compliance with your directions, I have inspected several of the Mines on the property of Greenwich Hospital, and the works connected therewith, and I have received information respecting the whole so as to enable me to form an opinion upon them, and to give answers to the questions contained in your Letter of the 16th instant, and to suggest generally such observations as have occurred to me on an attentive perusal of your report to the
Diary – James Losh – 23 Aug 1823
I was grieved to find from C. Bigge, who came to consult me respecting it, that the marriage between Beaumont and Miss Swinburne is broken off, owing to the gross folly and misconduct of Beaumont himself, arising, I have no doubt, from insanity.

Bretton Hall 23 August 1823
Sir
I have received your letter of the 19th inst and on the same day I received the most cruel and extraoridinary Letter that any son ever addressed to a Mother, and in answer to one of kindness and attention; his conduct afflicts me deeply for on him was placed my fodest hopes and ambition, it appears he has lost every feeling of Duty and honor. In common justice he cannot refuse to send by you the Draft of the Deed which was drawn out by Mr P Fenwick under
Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont to Charles Grey – 29 Aug 1823
To the Right Honourable Earl Grey.
Bradley, August 29 1823
Dear Lord Grey,
I cannot prevent this letter appearing to you very extraordinary, but its necessity has been brought on by Lady Swinburne’s conduct.
Almost immediately after her daughter’s acceptance of my proposals, in which she and Sir John seemed cordially to concur, I was struck by the unkindness of Lady Swinburne to me, and the continual endeavours she was making

My dear Lambton
I have this morning had a most unexpected & extraordinary communication of the cause of the rupture between Sir John & Beaumont; in a letter from the latter. The man must be as mad as Bedlam. What do you think of his having told first his intended wife, & one of her sisters & then Edward Swinburne, that Lady S was a woman of most abandoned character

Sir,
I this moment received your most extraordinary letter, which has excited not only my surprise, but my indignation.
How you could justify to yourself the unwarrantable use you have made of my name I will not inquire. I feel it only necessary to say, that as far as relates to myself, the infamous allegation you have made against Lady Swinburne’s character is totally false and unfounded.
I am, Sir, your obedi

This Morning my brother William received a Letter from Beaumont to his great astonishment, saying that you were now his ‘antagonist’, wishing to have William for a second, and to see him at Ferrybridge at 3o’clock, but if, as was most natural, Willm objected to be concerned for him in a

My dear Lambton
I cannot express to you how much I have been affected by your letter. <You> could not have written with more real warmth of kindness & affection & it is most gratifying to me to have such a proof of the feelings by which you are influenced. Believe that I am most grateful for it, & never can forget it.
I of course can have heard nothing yet from Beaumont nor can I, in all probability before Saturday. I am going to pass the interval at Cassio

My Dear Lord
No one my Lord is more capable of appreciating your Lordships kind attention upon all occasions to our Family than Myself, & no one is better acquainted with the motives that induced your Lordship to address the Letter to me I received on Saturday last, & which, if I did not so far as my Judgement will permit me to act, in this very unfortunate affair, exercise that discretion which your Lordship is kind enough to give me credit for, to

Mr Dear Lambton
I have obeyed your instruction most implicitly with respect to mentioning the name of Ellie; so much so that I obliterated it in your letter & even Lady Grey does not know who was quoted as his authority by Beaumont. If it be true that Ellice told him this story, or any thing like it, I must think the latter quite unpardonable, in <long .eived> old & obsolete <gossip> for w

We are in all the misery of preparing for our departure tomorrow. Lady Grey & I stop till Friday at Lord <M> Spencer’s. The young Ladies go separate to Torquay, to get the House ready for us & we hope to join them there on Sunday.
I told you that, by Gordon’s advice, I had sent the correspondence between me & Beaumont to Sir Jno Swinburne. I had an answer from him this morning expressing in the stronges

Mr Beaumont Sept 16th 1823
James Briggs has requested me to ask you to allow his wife who is at present lodging at Crawcrook to occupy the room over the stables at Bradley which Earnshaw had when his wife was there. I have been indirectly asked if you intended giving up Bradley but of course I could only say that I had received no instructions from you to that effect. Mr Clavering of Riddlehamhope is the gent who caused the enquiry and is in want of such a situation. He has Greencroft only f
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Dawkin – 20 Sep 1823
Mr Dawkin Sept 20th 1823
The common report of the day at Hexham is that Sir J. Swinbourn has explained to you the cause of his quarrel with Mr Beaumont and that he does not wish it to be kept secret. You must naturally suppose I feel very anxious to know the real cause that could break off the match so suddenly and I will state what common report says upon it. Sir J Swinbourne is said to have communicated to you that Mr Beaumont <...> said he and his sons to be rascals and Lady Swinbu

Diary – James Losh – 26 Sep 1823
I was detained in Newcastle until 6 o’clock by conferences with Ed. Swinburne, Mrs. Beaumont ec., respecting Mr. Beaumont’s strange conduct and unfortunate state of mind. It is quite clear that he is deranged at present, but I much doubt whether by judicious treatment, that derangement might not be speedily removed. I had a long conference with Mrs. Beaumont and never saw a more lively and convincing proof of the vanity of worldly prosperity than in her chearless and melancholy situation
Report – Matthew Wilson to Anthony Hedley – 27 Sep 1823
On the 26th of Sept 1823 Mrs Beaumont arrived at Hexham on her way to Alanheads, and that Evening in a conversation she had with Mr C. Heads and others she signified that she had been of Opinion that the Commissioners of the Intended new line of Road could carry the line through the Cloisters and the Seal with or without her consent. Mr. Heads said they could not. She asked emphatically ‘can they do so Without my Consent’. The answer was ‘Madam, they cannot.’ She then inquired in

William received a Week ago a Letter from B. Saying that he had a supernatural Intimation that Lady S had drowned herself that Morning - that in consequence he had set off for Bradley, in the full expectation of finding the fact confirmed - that if it did not turn out to be so, he could not expect William to believe his other assertions as they rested chiefly o
