I proceeded on this day to the examination of the Spindleston Property, and my first visit was to Glororum Farm, occupied by the Widow of the late Mr Alexander Thomson who was killed by a fall from his Horse a few years since. This poor woman put into my hands a Memorial which had been drawn up by one of her Trustees, who is a Solicitor at Wooler; and certainly there is some hardship and difficulty in her case. More than three thousand pounds had been invested by he

Having heard of a House at Summer-rods near Hexham, as likely to form a suitable residence for a Receiver, I rode there in the morning, but had the mortification of finding that the owner had changed his mind, and declined letting. The difficulty of getting a House is so extraordinary, that I could not have believed it, had I not practically experienced the fact. I then proceeded to Corbridge, where I had heard there was a House, and indeed, I pursued my enquiry thr
