Letter – Martin Morrison to Thomas Fenwick – 18 Apr 1826
Mem[orandum] given to Mr Fenwick Agent to Bishop of Durham – 18 April 1826
The Duty on foreign Lead imported previous to 5 July 1826 was 20 pCent ad valorum so that if the price of Pig Lead was at £22 pTon, the am[ou]nt would be £4.8 pTon. The Duty charged since 5 July 1825 is £2 pTon without reference to value 2. Difference £ 2 8
The protection given to English Mines having ceased, by the high duty being withdrawn; the importation of foreign Lead last year, exceeded in
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Diana Beaumont – 1 May 1826
Mrs B. May 1st 1826
Mr Beaumont left Newcastle on Saturday last for London after completing the most successful canvass ever accomplished in this or any other county. His opponents generally but more particularly the inconsistent Whigs are completely defeated and can never rally now. Throughout Mr B's canvass he has met with the most flattering reception and his exertions have been beyond what I believe any other gentleman could properly have given thought. The result however has ampl
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 2 May 1826
Mr B. May 2nd 1826
I understand Captain Jobling of Newton Hall has taken offence that you did not call upon him and says he should certainly have attended the dinner had you called upon him … Michael Dodds Esq residing at Cornhills Nr Kirkwhelpington was from home when you passed and I believe you omitted to call at his house to leave your card. A letter I have no doubt will win him over and I shall request your Brother, as soon as he returns from his canvass at Carlisle to call upon him.

Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 10 May 1826
Mr B. May 10th 1826
Mr Ed Beaumont will have made you acquainted with an unpleasant circumstance which your servant Mason says have occurred at Bradley. As soon as I heard of it I went down to enquire into the affair and I must confess myself that after a long and close investigation I have considerable doubt of the veracity of his statement. The matter is of so improper a nature in any family that the parties accused cannot remain as fellow servants with the accuser and they have both give

Mr Thos Fenwick Dipton.
As I have not received any reply to the offer I made in London, thro’ you to the Bishop of Durham, for the Lot Ore in Weardale; I take the liberty of enquiring when I may expect to receive his Lordships determination upon it, the ascertainment of which, being daily more desirable, as two months now have lapsed, since the late Bishop’s death, and the working of the Mines impeded by the accumulated produce remaining in them, necessa

Mr Dolphin Agent to Dr Phillpotts came to the Office this morning, for the purpose of coming to an understanding as to the future arrangement in regard to the Tithe Ore. – Mr Dolphin commenced by saying, that before he entered upon particulars, He was instructed by the Dr. to state that any Agreement he entered upon with Col Beaumont must be for the ore raised by the Colonel alone, distinct from that raised by the Lead Company for which a separate agreement with the

Mr Fenwick agent to the B[isho]p of Durham came to the Office to inform me that he had not yet received his Lordships final instructions respecting the Lease for the Lot Ore, and that he had sent to Mr Faber, my Letter of the 26 May, which he supposed would be forwarded to the Bishop in London accompanied with one from himself, urging the necessity of come to a conclusion on the business. – Mr Fenwick said he had to be in Newcastle to morrow (Saturday) and would again ca

I think it right to intimate to you that some Difficulty is likely to arise in the treaty with Dr Phillpotts for his Tythe Ore – He has postponed communicating his intentions till last Thursday on the pretence of being from home and not having personal access to his Agent, who I now find is a Mr Dolphin – agent to Messrs Halls in the Derwent Mines thro’ this person he has in

To the Freeholders of Northumberland
Liddell’s & Beaumont’s Coalition
This odious & unnatural Coalition has roused the just indignation of the whole County. The facts now betraying it are of themselves sufficient to excite & reprobation of every honest man. But much more remains behind the scenes which must be laid bare. It is now quite clear that an understanding between Mrs Beaumont & Lord Ravensworth has long existed & that all pecuniary difficulties

Gentlemen,
So many erroneous impressions have been found regarding these letters, that I deem it right to publish them for the entire satisfaction of all, whether friends or opponents. — The first was written on the evening of that day when I first came forward for the County and when I fully expected a contest with Lord Howick.

THE EARL OF DURHAM AND MR. WENTWORTH BEAUMONT'S DUEL.
The following extract will be interesting at the present moment. Mr. Beaumont is the gentleman whose quarrel with Mr. Somers is the subject of general conversation:- ’It may be safely affirmed that few public proceedings are more frequently the causes of duels than elections. The present position of one of the parties will render the following duel of more than common interest. In 1826, Lord Howick offered himself as a candid

I received your Letter of the 27 Ult. & regret the difference of opinion between Us as to the sum due to the late Bishop of Durham for Lot Ore. - To be correct is the wish no doubt of both. – If his Lordship had died in the longest instead of the shortest Quarter of the Year We should have taken the number of days as they occurred and proportioned the payment accordingly. The simple fact is, the sum agreed for the Lot Ore
