Journal entry – John Grey – 26 Nov 1833
Tuesday 26th November
Was engaged for some time in settling accounts with several parties for draining & buildings. Wrote to Mr Fairless Lee who applied for further time to pay the Rent due at May day last, that having left the Farm and Sold the Crop to several parties he had no ground for such a request. That my granting it or even applying to the Board for the purpose was altogether out of the question, & that I should expect it to be paid forthwith. Compared the prices of Tre

After attending to some matters in the Office, the Snow having disappeared, I took Mr Hunt to see the fences on Dilston New Town South Farm, which I had observed to be treated in such a manner as to ensure their speedy destruction, advised him as to the best means of endeavouring to recover them, & instructed him to take the Tenant to examine them & enjoin him to adopt a different treatment of his hedges in future. We then proceeded to examine the Farm of W

Received from Mr Nairn, Lessee of Waren & Spindleston Mills an account of the renewing the Kiln & Wheat Screen at Waren which repairs being urgent, Mr. Brandling advised him to have done, not doubting that they would be allowed. The charge for the Kiln amounts to £20.12.9 and that for the Cylinder for dressing Wheat to £17.9.3. He has also forwarded, as I desired, Estimates for the new flooring of a part of the Granaries & the Mill at Waren, both of

Rode to Hexham and paid the money I had received since the Rent Day to the Bank Agent, then proceeded to Westwood & Coastley to make a valuation of those farms in case of my being authorised by the Board to treat by private bargain with the present tenants.
With Mr Snowball of Westwood there can be no doubt of the propriety of negotiating if his Father who is possessed of good property will join him in the Lease and with regard to Coulson of Coastley although he

Was engaged nearly all the day in examining the farm of Chesterhill, arranging with Mr Thomson his away going Crop, in which I had no difficulty as he wished for no advantage, & preparing the terms for the new letting to leave with his Farm Stewart [sic], as he is kind enough to allow him to show the farm to those who may come to propose for it. I consider this farm worth about £100 a year more than Glororum & in justice to Mr Thomson, must say that I never sa

Dear Sir
I have received the enclosed letter from Mr R Hodgson of Alston, and I send you a copy of my answer. It is true that I have had no opportunity recently of making the conduct of Christopher Hodgson; and it is possible he may have fallen into dissolute habits; but the County of Cumberland is so divided by Party Feeling, and Mr R Hodgson is so much attached to Lord Lonsdale’s Interest, that a Representation of his on this subject connect

Rode to Berwick & had an interview with Mr Hogarth and Major Johnson respecting the quarry proposed to be filled up in Mr Hogarths Farm, but found from Mr Johnson that that is the best stone & most easily come at for arching some needful parts in the Sea drift level, which must therefore be provided for, before levelling the quarry, which however, in other respects, is not likely to be again resorted to. Engaged Johnson to forward to Mr Fenwick, Solicitor, a
