Sir
I have been requested by MM who is unavoidably absent to transmit you the petition or Memorial of Miners in this neighbourhood against the proposed Reduction of the duty on foreign Lead imported. The Receivers of the Greenw[ich] Hosp[ital.] would have signed the above but that their Board had already taken some steps at the Treasury – however should you think it adviseable may apply to them.

Richard Simpson was not quite a year in Mr Beaumonts service but during the time he held the situation he was sober, civil and attentive. He is a good shot and took considerable pains in destroying vermin. [struck out: ‘I believe Mr Beaumont got a little out of humour with the behaviour of his dogs’] Mr B did not assign any reason to me for dismissing him and directed me to give him a good character.

To Hexham where I attended a meeting for the purpose of establishing a Mechanic Institution. I opened the meeting in a speech of some length, explaining the nature, pointing out the benefits to be derived from institutions of this kind and concluded with an exhortation to the working mechanics (of whom considerable numbers attended) to form themselves into a society to manage their own affairs and to exert themselves for their own advantage as well as that of their families.

..I sent a quantity of the best fruit ripe to the dinner of the Horticultural society. The grapes were particularly fine and by far the best in the room. I also sent a basket to the mayor. I shall send fruit and vegetables to Mrs Beaumont tomorrow and observe your instructions as to the remainder as it ripens ... I shall take every care in my power to preserve the game at Bywell and prevent every one from shooting which I can assure you has never been the case but I cannot

Wheatley 22nd Sept 1825
My dear Lord
Your letter has been forwarded to me from Belsay & came here yesterday morning.
Under the same qualifications which you mention I have told Lord Howick that he shall have my best wishes & all the support which I can give him when he offers his services to the County.
Recollecting the jealousy which Lambton’s presence at that meeting at Blagdon last wi

I return you herewith Lord Grey’s letter & request you will take an opportunity of thanking him for the communication. As we are so soon to have the pleasure of seeing you in the North & the ideas of a Dissolution are suspended for the present, I shall abstain from offering any remarks on the subject; except to assure you that I consider no person more fit to offer himself for the representation of this County than the eldest son of Lord G

My dear Monck
I received your letter of the 222nd Sept from Wheatley in due course. The postponement of the dissolution seems to render any further dissension on that subject unnecessary for the present.
But there are two points in your letter on which I am anxious to prevent any further misunderstanding between us.
In the first place with respect to Lambton I really was

My dear Lord
From your letter which is come by this evening’s post, I find, with great pain, that the caution that I took the Liberty to offer you about the personal appearance of Lambton at the approaching Election, excites your displeasure and is not likely to serve my purpose, which was twofold - first, to save you from a false step which I think most likely, if taken, to be fatal

My dear Mother,
I have received this morning the enclosed, and tho’ the request is <very complicated> from Hexham, I do not see anything objectionable in it. The consideration of promoting idleness I should not think worthy of attention, for it is always better that an Open & ostensible mode of employing idle & leisure hours to <have ……> than the secret means which are always more prejudicial to the fortune & character of

Mrs <....> is arrived at Bradley and has applied to me for some grouse to shoot. I have written to Mattw Lee to <....> what he can before the.season closes but the moors are now covered with a thick snow and I fear he will not be able to get many. She also wants some pheasants and Partridges but as there is no gamekeeper here and having your .positive instructions that no person is to shoot at Bywell I have declined sending any until I receive your instruction
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 1 Dec 1825
Mr B. (undated)
I have seen the plan of the intended railroad in the south side of the river the original line on the north side being entirely abandoned. They wish to pass through the Stockfd Hall farm and come along the bank in front of the hall on the opposite side of the river. If this is permitted they would cut down nearly the whole of the wood in front and lay open <....> above the turnpike road but their rail road also. As they by a little extra cutting keep on the south side
